@BerkSmash1984 I’ve also found, in the documentation for MMM-Wallpaper, a “filter” option - If you don’t want to put a background on the modules, you can use this to improve readability.

by the way, if you wanna dump the empty slots:

1. in config.js under views add

className: "remove_empty_slot",

2. add the following css to custom.css

/* CalExt2 - Hide empty days on agenda */
.CX2 .remove_empty_slot .eventCount_0 {
        display:none;
}

I put them both in, and that fixed it - thanks, Tom.

@bebetter14 I started out that way. What I did personally, was take a dead module that I really liked and started trying to figure out how it worked. Looked up the commands (Lots of searches for “XYZ Javascript” etc and playing on Jsfiddle.net – -Once I got that figured out, I built up my own module (MMM-Multimonth) and got help from some amazing people on here, including Sam and mmrize - major contribution was from a user who CSSified the whole thing and showed me how to do it.

Knowledge grows as you jump in.

@MMRIZE Boy, we did things the hard way…

/* Fade adjustments */
.CX3A .agenda::after {
	position: absolute;
	bottom: 0;
	left: 0;
	height: 6%;
	width: 100%;
	content: '';
	background-image: unset;
} 

Simply remove the modules from the config.js and they won’t load. You can delete the directories if you want to save space, but it’s not needed.

@sdetweil It now is working as expected. Thanks for the help.

this one:

@btastic to double down on what @MMRIZE said - taking over someone else’s archived module is an exceptional way to learn how to do things. I Would highly encourage it, as the author has directly said he’s okay with it. I did that with a module myself. Taught me so much about javascript working out bugs in an existing module and adding my own flair (and I really should get back on it for one bit…)

@sdetweil gotcha.

I’ll likely re-work my entire system(s) after tax season is over, but this will hold until then. Once I have time, I’m mulling a few changes that’ll break everything anyway.

@brentmatthews

I have three:
Built in Calendar module - While it’s normally a display module, I use it in the background to handle the calendar retrieval for MMM-CalendarExt3 (Day mode), MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda (Agenda), and MMM-Multimonth (My own module for month mode because I didn’t like MMM-CX3’s month mode)

MMM-CommandToNotification - Enables display of various features, including data for an non-published module I wrote to handle display of my local weather data from my weather station.

MMM-NotificationToCommand - Much like the previous - it will take a notification and issue a command to the system - I use it to adjust a set of LEDs I have rigged in to match the mode of my mirror.

@Jonae Nicely done.

I’ve used MMM-CommandToNotifcation/MMM-ValuesByNotification for mine, with MMM-Temperature prior to that. Nice to have a specific to device module, though. :)

Here’s what I’ve done.

Everything I modify, including instructions for things that can’t be moved is stored in a “MyConfigs” directory on my harddrive, with symlinks in the original folder - so config.js and custom.css is actually symlinks in the magicmirror folders.

Modifications to modules that I do are all forked off the original and stored independently.

It took me literally 5 minutes to get config up again after a SD Card blowout…

Pros: no work to get unmodified modules and MagicMirror up to current.

Cons: remembering the dang symlink command. I’m gonna write a script.

@KristjanESPERANTO Finally got time to fix things up and move forward (Complete reinstall, honestly)

Everything is working as I desire now.

@sdetweil I simplifed out the details on purpose… Trying to keep it simple, Stupid (KISS)

:)

@UncleRoger Not exactly. However you can get it simplied some:

That’s all CSS.

FYI. the bolt is still active, fresh copy of the OS downloaded from their website, on RPI3b+. whipped it together so to test for mirror frame placement.

I’d just run a fan through a couple of extra holes in the frame… Easy – if you get the right voltage, you could just use the pi for powering it.

@tonyarogers Time to update your hardware and/or create a new SD Card for it.
