      @Damian I don’t think it really matters. I just prefer Linux … Just easier for me.

    • RE: Stop the screensaver!

      @frog said in Stop the screensaver!:

      There’s no need for that attitude. Please desist as this is a forum for helping people. I also had this problem so it isn’t isolated. It may not be possible to add a keyboard and mouse to the screen and use the screensaver utility.

      Attitude? Oh you haven’t seen my attitude… just making a simple suggestion where there doesn’t need a case made out of it. It’s THE simplest way for NON programmers to do it…

    • RE: electronic forum???

      That would be an excellent idea! That way it’s one for the software and one for the hardware!

      Yes @fersev checkout the Hardware forum … :)

    • RE: Amazon Fire 7/8/10 & Magic Mirror...

      Uh seriously? Now that the fun is over… here’s the deal

      You asked a question about software that isn’t supported by this forum. A couple people tried to nicely point that out you. You came back with statements like “well this is a Magic Mirror forum isn’t it”? NO it’s actually THE MagicMirror2 forum…

      As it was pointed out this is a forum for the MagicMirror2 which was started by Michael Teeuw who gave it to the world.

      It’s also a forum for users who want to create their own experience and not just buy something and plunk down an image and BINGO it works.

      IF you’d taken the time to read through some of the topics you’d see that. But stomping your little feet around because no one can help you because what you want isn’t actually supported is really NOT the way to go either.

      So IF you’re here for that purpose I’m first in line to help you… If not then yes you are trolling.

      IF you want to actually create a mirror based on this package and you can exhibit patience and take the time to search using the above search feature then all your answers will come.

      This takes work. There’s NO shortcuts…and being short with people will get your ignored then NO ONE will answer you. If that’s what you’re after you are pulling it off nicely.

      SO when you can act civil and have a question pertaining to this please feel free to ask…

    • RE: Make compliments_plus bold

      @swvalenti this =>

      
      .compliments_plus .pre-line {
      	font-weight: bold; 
      }
      

      You can also change colors under same custom.css like this ->

      .compliments_plus .pre-line {
      	font-weight: bold; 
         color: white;
      

      OR you can even change color of icon and font at the same time =>

      .compliments_plus .pre-line {
      	font-weight: bold;
      	color: white;
      }
      .compliments_plus .wi,
      .compliments_plus .fa { 
      	color: yellow;
      }
      

      OR just one at a time =>

      .compliments_plus .pre-line {
      	font-weight: bold;
      	color: white;
      }
      
      .compliments_plus .fa { 
      	color: yellow;
      }
      
      .compliments_plus .wi, {
      color:  green;
      }
      

      Hope that helps :)

    • RE: MMM-NFL

      @shybull Sorry but it would appear as of 2021 the NFL has cut that api off.

      Data is currency and it’s getting harder to get for free…
      It would seem that an industry making 5 billion dollars a year would give out that little bit of data… yeah… they say no.

      Weather is the same way… free data getting hard to come by.

      I did find another source and emailed Strawberry… not sure what will happen but if he has time I’m sure he’ll look at it. It will take considerable amount of work to get it working with new data.

      BUT here’s two sources if anyone wants to take a stab at it…

    • RE: Bad question

      @Fonfon

      Just a suggestion that I give all new people… before you make changes to a working config.js make a copy of it… that way if you can’t figure out or you need something to compare it to you have your backup :)

    • RE: MMM-Gas Still Working?

      @sifuhall said in MMM-Gas Still Working?:

      mid-grade

      I can come up with possibly 2 problems…

      Either npm install wasn’t run in the MMM-Gas module directory OR
      if you copied the example config from github quotes do not copy correctly.
      So go in and wherever there is a quote ’ or " delete them and from your own keyboard redo them ’ or "…

      Let me know.

    • Further module categories...

      With all the new modules coming out it’s hard to tell where to put what at times…

      My suggestion would be to add sub-categories… I know it’s a lot of work [I run a forum] but at times to help people figure out where to post them correctly… :) Just an idea.

    • RE: Completely lost

      @ankonaskiff17 I agree!!! Once you get it, you get it but that can take a bit to understand.

      I’m hoping things are getting easier for you!
      My suggestion is this.

      Once you have the mirror running and working make a copy of your config.js file that way if you add something and it breaks the mirror you have your backup that you know works.

      Problems persist as they always will. Make backups :)

      Once you have a running mirror with all the modules you want/need then backup the entire thing and you’ll always have a fresh copy already setup in case you need it :)

      I’ve been here almost from the beginning so setting this up and getting things running is just a matter of how long it takes the pi to move so I can get it done LOL.

      My mirror is setup up with quite a few of my own modules running that I’ve built for my use.

      Weather module
      [with hourly and daily forecast]
      My version of Holiday module
      I’m using someone else’s PIR module [Name cannot mention he gets mad]
      Sams config module
      My own clock module
      Background module
      Sniles HA module [to get sensors from Home Assistant on my mirror]

      That’s about it.
