@sdetweil Ah, thnx, I found the error, using the dev console. I hadn’t fully understood the regions of the screen. Got it to work now!

Hi!

Im trying to build a “Important message to the public”-module, based of an API here in Sweden. I want the module to be at the top of the screen, showing important messages across the entire screen.

However, I cant get it to actually cross the screen. No matter how I format the css I get the text bunched wrong. This is the closest I’ gotten:

What do I need to do?

And think I got it going, after reworking the module yesterday.

@OliWer I’ll fix this, this is one of my first modules, so I’ve done quite a few errors when it comes to following the frame work standard. And I think the flake count is because I sort of panicked when I realised that my Raspberry Pi almost choked on my first iteration, and I speed fixed the performance part. Ill look into it.

And now cleaned the Github repo up a bit, also updated the module with some minor tweaks that I wanted to have (eg, position of text) and also added screenshots, the proper way.

@sdetweil I had no idea this could be done. Thank you!

@KristjanESPERANTO Added to the module list, and working on a screenshot ( I cleared my MM installtion of modules to test this, so I have to re add them, otherwise its just a black image with snow icons on them…)

Oh, nice. I was looking at the api-solution for SMHI (being a swede and also, the SMHI api requires no key), but that sounds even better. I’ll definately look into that.

And this is my second module, again for the entertainment of my daughters. This one just adds a nice snow fall across the screen - for the winter festivities.

I made it on a Linux computer, but realised when testing it on my Raspberry Pi 3B, that the Pi really struggled with it. So it now has two settings: light and “rich” - the latter for more powerful platforms.

This is a part of me trying to learn how to make modules, so any input is welcome.

Next: Im thinking of connecting it to one of the providers from the Weather module, to maybe make it snow when the temperature is freezing, or if the forcast warns of snow.

But for now, just a simple snowfall on your MagicMirror.

@KristjanESPERANTO Ah, didn’t know there was a list! Will do asap, thnx!
