@sdetweil Thanks, Sam - I tend to think multiple platform so I leave the main directories off when I write…

MAJOR Update -
29 Oct 2022 - Start Implementing streamlined CSS, add feature to move weekend around, documentation improvements.

This update will not break old CSS or code. I’ve made sure any changed CSS includes reference to old CSS for compatibility. Some CSS names are changing to make more sense. Un-needed duplicates are being eliminated.

New:
If all you’re doing is changing the appearance, the README.md file has new instructions on how to do this… You can actually delete your old long changes and simply have changes in one css element.

Now you can move the weekend. See the config table in README.

Now you can turn on or off the previous/next month display in the month grid regardless of number of months!

Let me know if you have any bugs or oddities.

Thanks!

@mykle1 … when you pray to the CSS gods, you’re praying to @cowboysdude 🤣🤣🤣

I’d like to see the current region set expanded and adjusted:

Currently we have:
top_bar, bottom_bar
top_left, bottom_left, top_center, bottom_center, top_right, bottom_right
upper_third, lower_third
middle_center
fullscreen_below, fullscreen above.

I’d like to see the grid a bit differently:
Vertically: Top, Middle, Bottom.
Horizontally: Left, Center, Right.
3x3 grid, in essence.

Also, I’d like to see the ability to span two spots, say Top_center_right

This would make it much better for portrait mode screens.

If you’re keeping the monitor “whole” - you could use something like this:

Alternatively, just velcro… whatever works.

@harney because of the problems within the MM world, I ended up controlling my buttons with external python scripts. More flexable, more configurable, and able to do exactly what I want.

yes, as a matter of fact. Fixes the centering too if you have that problem:

custom.css in css subdirectory:

.MMM-NewsFeedTicker .image {
position: absolute;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
margin-left: 0;
height: 40px; /* set to your image size */
z-index: 1;
background-color: #FFF;
bottom: 0;
left: 0px;

}

Try messing with this:

.module {
        padding: 10px;
 }

In main.css there’s also a “margin-bottom: 30px” in that css piece.

Look through main.css for other settings you can monkey to get it to go. It may be that you can adjust it for that region only with the right css pieces.

God, the alternatives to moment are head spinning. I don’t understand 'em, and can’t even get basic functions to work right within jsfiddle.net (Example: Date1 <= Date2 crashes jsfiddle)

For now, I’ve added package.json to both modules, and if needed, will update my install instructions.

@joshajh I used the official screen for a long time for a desktop viewer.
