    • is custom.css only for default modules?

      Hey - n00b question,

      I’ve tried doing calling modules such as MMM-MoonPhase to position them exactly and create custom backgrounds for that specific module through custom.css but I can’t get it working… Should I be editing only the modules CSS file?

      The position and the background are probably separate issues to tackle right?

      .module.MMM-MoonPhase {
        position: absolute;
        left : 400px;
        top : 100px;
       background: #545454;
      }

      @dubalda Thanks man! I ordered my own samples after I saw you can discount the sample cost from the final order - they arrived today and are awesome!

      if u install winscp or bitvise ssh client on your PC, then u can double click edit files on your pi, just like u do on windows

      If anyone is looking at this issue in the future and trying to do this on Mac see here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/ssh/sshfs.md

    • RE: UK Lock-down mirror

      @robertybob I think it could be right, the Pilkingon stuff is mentioned a lot on these forums from my research so I think it’s the best bet - www.mirrorsandglass.co.uk offer a discount of the price of samples on the final order so I think I might go with them and get a sample of each to see which type (50/50 or 75/25) would best suit my hallway lighting situation…

    • RE: *NEW LIST 23.08.2020* Two way community order for mirror glass for all european countries - Open until at least 10 people have entered

      Hey,

      I am interested in joining the order, do the mirrors come with pre-made mounting holes?

      so u can run mm on pi, view and edit styles on chrome/Firefox on PC, edit pi custom.css directly from PC, over ssh ( I use notepad++ as my PC editor), save custom.css, then refresh browser page to see new styles applied via custom.css
      all with only one copy of MagicMirror installed.

      Nice! I hadn’t figured out how to edit the rpi files directly from PC without using VNC, which effectively means you are still using the pi… Thanks!

      By ‘clone’, i meant there were effectively two completely seperate versions of the MM running…

    • RE: UK Lock-down mirror

      👋 Hey man!

      This looks great - I’m looking at Glass just now in the UK (I’m in Glasgow) - which supplier did you go with? Would I be able to purchase your samples from you or would you like to keep them?

      @cluelesscarter not windowed, but you can minimize. alt, spacebar, n. same as on windows.
      but, if u open the developers window ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, and select the elements tab, u can edit the styles directly. and then you know what to.put in css/custom.css. then u can reload with ctrl-r or refresh in the developer’s pane

      Thanks man! I actually found creating a ‘clone’ mirror on my desktop and editing it using localhost within chrome was a lot quicker, if anyone wants to find out how see this guide https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/548/building-mirror-without-programing/2

    • How to write and test CSS without going crazy..

      Hey everyone,

      first post here so apologies if I’ve got some etiquite wrong or not been able to find a previous post that covers this.

      I’d like to get into customising the font, size etc. of my mirror and modules, but don’t know how to get a live ‘preview’ of the Mirror as I’m writing the code? I’ve recently learned CSS on Codepen, so I’m used to having the instant feedback…

      Can i run a windowed version of MagicMirror and change the CSS file? Is this an awful idea?

      Open to all suggestions!

      M
