This is how it currently looks

This is what I’m planning for the eventual v1.0.0 release:

If you’re interested in how I did this, let me know. I dove pretty deep into the development. Here’s some not-so-apparent features I’ve added:

• Refactored the Layout in main.css to use CSS Grid
  • This allows for a more flexible layout that’s easier to work with
• Modified MMM-Wallpaper to load images from Pexels
• Using two instances of MMM-Todoist to load my “Daily Highlight” for the day
• After 6:00pm, changes the Daily Highlight to tomorrow’s highlight

@MichMich
I think it would be a good idea to put a little more visibility on documentation in the forums so that we could get an idea what would be the most helpful for the community. I have some energy to work on this (sent a couple PRs earlier).

Would it be possible to get “Documentation” as category or subcategory? It could probably work as a thread but it seems like I don’t have any posting permissions in the categories where it’s relevant

@aarish could you post some screenshots?

I’ve updated the main.css file here:
https://github.com/foundations-design/WhiteLight/blob/master/css/main.css

I think the part that’s relevant to your issue is from “Layout Stuff” down (line 144 in the main.css file)

@MichMich

@dbinott @jcmd13 @RuKeBo @Mykle1

Add

.top.bar > .container {
    grid-column: 1 / -1;
}

to your main.css.

I think that’ll do the trick. I don’t have any modules with notifications installed atm, so if somebody could post a screenshot of how that looks (after adding the above CSS), it would be a big help

HI GUYS,

Sorry I’ve been MIA. Recently moved to a new condo, so I’ve been busy with that. Finally have some time to take a look at this, so expect some updates in the near future.

Thank you all for the interest

@nobita You can put them straight into the “header” field on your config file. If you’re using Windows, press [WINDOWSKEY + .] Not sure how to insert emojis on a mac, though. Hope that helps.

@lavolp3 Yup, no problem hope it works out, if you’re having layout troubles feel free to post a screenshot. Haven’t tested this on a more filled out layout so I’d be curious how it looks

@smackenzie5 nice good news, glad it was quick to get.

What sdetweil said, did ya put quotes around the key?

Project Update (& Installation Instructions)

@skibro @bachoo786 @Sean @smackenzie5
Alrighty y’all! Got some great news for those who wanna try this setup out. Heads up though—might take a bit of time to set up,
so don’t expect to get it looking right in a couple clicks.

First, I’ve added Pexels support to MMM-Wallpaper (thanks @kolbyjack for the quick response).

As for everything else, all the instructions for setting it up can be found here

Though I’ve been doing development work for a while, this is one of my first open-source projects, so I’ll definitely do my best to help you guys out if you need it.
