    • RE: MMM-CalendarExt2 Color Issues

      Good catch. Thank you. This fixed the problem. The only format above that works and changes the color of the text is:

      .CX2 .event.fred {
      color:#F00;
      }

    • MMM-CalendarExt2 Color Issues

      Hello,

      I think I have tried all the working solutions on here to color code events by calendar type. I have failed at all of them. I am using the Upcoming view. Any help is appreciated.

      Here is a section of my config/config.js

      calendars : [
        {
          name: "Fred",
          icon: "maki:bicycle-11",
          url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/[snip]/public/basic.ics",
          classname: "fred"
        },
      

      I have tried all of these options in css/custom.css and none of them have worked:

      This did NOT work

      /* style Fred */
      .CX2 .fred {
      color:#F00;
      }

      This did NOT work

      /* style Fred Upcoming*/
      .CX2 .fred.upcoming {
      color:#F00;
      }

      This did NOT work

      .CX2 .event.fred {
      color:#F00;
      }

      This did NOT work

      transform: (event) => {
      if (event.calendarName.search(“Fred”) > -1) {
      color:#F00;
      },
      return event
      },

      Thanks in advance

      @lavolp3 Believe it or not, I tried. :) Linux load on the Nexus 7" tablet was dropped recently.

    • RE: Sacrilegious Non-MM MagicMirror :)

      @lavolp3 Thanks for the comment. I agree, MM is so much better. I have a feeling that if I used a newer tablet that supported a more modern version of Android, I could find a full-screen browser that supports JavaScript and MM.

    • Sacrilegious Non-MM MagicMirror :)

      [Edit: I updated the Android System WebView app and not MM runs within the Android Fully Kiosk Browser app. Yay!]

      So, I love MagicMirror and have the code running on a huge extra monitor in my office. The problem is, I am too cheap to buy a huge piece of two-way glass/plexi to build a proper MagicMirror. I came up with an unorthodox alternative - A super old 7" Android tablet placed behind a piece of two-way plexiglass in an existing frame. Here is what I did:

      • Found an old frame that was deep enough to hide an old Nexus 7 WiFi tablet behind
      • Order a piece of two-way plexiglass to fit the frame from www.tapplastics.com. My piece was 12"x16"
      • Cut a 7.8"x4.5" hole in the back of the frame backing for the Nexus 7 tablet to poke through.
      • Spray paint the frame backing gloss black to match the Nexus 7 and make the two blend in better
      • Drill a hole in the frame side to insert a Mini-USB charging cable for the Nexus 7
      • Attach the Nexus 7 to the frame backing. I am using strong tape at the moment
      • Install VMLite VNC Server app for Android just in case I needed remote access to the tablet
      • Install the Fully Kiosk Browser app for Android on the Nexus
      • Here is where the problems started. It turns out that the Fully Kiosk Browser does not support the JavaScript in our beloved MagicMirror. That made me sad. I could display the clock but not the Dark Sky weather module. I tried a bunch of other full screen browsers but they would not work either. Chrome worked but would not go full-screen.
      • My solution was to use the Fully Kiosk Browser with DAkBoard.com instead of MagicMirror. Sad, but it works great.
      • Power draw was my second problem. The Nexus 7 will only draw about 380 mA from a 2,100 mA charger. The battery would actually drain while plugged in and the screen on. To fix this, I dropped the system brightness to about 20%. Now the Nexus 7 stays charged.
