You can easily have another module (module_scheduler?) keep track of time and when require, it can call another module’s .hide() or .show() routine. And you’d want to check on the other module every so often, in case the mirror restarted and re-displayed it.

At the moment, the module only does one at a time. If you’d like it to do more, you’ll have to write your own module. We welcome pull requests on modified versions of the defaults.

@MichMich, oooooh. I was about to start a new topic and demand access to those 'frowned' modules! :)

Feel free to create PR and submit it against the 'develop' branch so it can be checked out and incorporated is possible.

Go figure, this is actually a pretty shitty forum.

Running Windows 7 Ultimate.

“Shitty” because you are running a platform that is not supported. You are asking questions specific to your needs, that no one else knows about. It’s unsupported, you can’t expect anyone to give you a solution if they don’t have an answer for you.

If you want proper support, a) change your attitude, and b) read the documentation, specifically the part where it clearly states it’s designed to run on a Raspberri Pi version 2 or 3.

Reality is, this forum has a ton of people who are offering all kinds of support, in various areas.

@MichMich, it is, by default, B/W. Users can set a custom CSS to change the colors, like I did as a test.

Taking this topic back to the storage question above, I did a fresh install on another rPi-3 and captured some info. One a stock Raspbian Jessie, running on an 8G card, with all apps updated, nothing removed, once you have MM up and running, you’re looking at the following for storage:

Now, since you’re likely to only use this for MM and nothing else, there’s no sense in leaving all of the other apps on it that are pre-installed. So, I removed some of the big ones:

wolfram-engine
scratch
nu-scratch
sonic-pi
idle3
smartsim
penguinspuzzle
java-common
minecraft-pi
python-minecraftpi
python3-minecraftpi
libreoffice*

And after running autoremove as well, which cleared even more space removing other unneeded apps, you’re down to this:

That’s 1.3G worth of storage that I just cleared up. So unless you need a larger SD card for other stuff, an 8G works just fine. Potentially even a 4G. You’ll still have plenty of room left after you clean up the installation.

Another option is to start with Raspbian Jessie-lite on a 4G card, but then you have to install the X server, desktop environment, and a login manager yourself. Assuming you get it all done correctly, you’ll end up with a very light weight installation of the OS, taking up only 53% of storage (remember, 4G card), with MM running lean and clean on top of that. I did try that as well but ran into issues with electron.js and for the time involved, knowing I wasn’t going to run it on there, it wasn’t worth continuing. I will leave that as an exercise to the brave.

Because the various styles have an explicit color (white), you can’t simply set a color on the main class. However what you can do is set it on one of the elements, like 'TD':

.calendar td {
  color: #ff0000;
}

Not to mention a fast processor to be able to process the video and change colors on the fly like that.

It won’t be the “default” style, but the config will set it as 'default'. The reason is because the actual 'styleDefault.css' file needs to be clean and not have anything in it other than setting the proper margin, padding, and table/cell views for the calendar and it gets included always. Custom CSS files are pulled in on top of that. That way, the user doesn’t need to set any of that themselves, but rather just over ride what they want with their own styles. So I can have a 'styleMichMich' [*] that I can set as the default style to have today highlighted in a white box.

[*] actual name to be determined still …

Never mind, went a slightly different route …
