Ok, ok, this might appear creepy, but it’s just my way of saying thank you. I believe in giving credit where credit is due.

Strawberry 3.141 has come to my aid once again, and in the dead of night (at least for him). Honestly, he is simply amazing at his craft. My custom.css file is not really mine at all. It’s virtually all his doing. Every time I came up with something I wanted to change (and was impossible for me), and posted my request, this dude swoops in like Superman and saves the day. I posted the above request and within minutes he was working on it. And a few short minutes later he had done EXACTLY what I had hoped for. Who does that?

I was happy (at first) with using the default modules and some 3rd party modules but reading the inspiring posts here made me think, “What if I could have it my way?”

So, for your kindness and generosity, and for your amazing knowledge and talent, I thank you.

The creepy part? See compliments.

My 1st mirror is nearly perfect thanks to some very talented and generous people here. If I mention Strawberry-3.141 again, people are going to start talking about “us”, but this dude is a miracle worker.

So, here it is. What I thought was my final rendition of my layout, isn’t. As you can see, I was using the clock, currentweather and weatherforecast modules. I had currentweather under the clock and weatherforecast to the right. That was ok.

But then I discovered the WunderGround weather module. With it, I get my weather from a weather station less than a mile from my home, instead of a generic or centrally located local station. And, I find the color icons visually stunning. But there is a small(?) problem. The current weather and the weather forecast within this module are tied together (I think), so I can’t put the current weather under the clock, as in the picture above.

Below is a picture of how I would like my mirror to look. The simple answer (I think) would be to have the nice color icon in the currentweather module (if that’s possible). Also, you might have noticed that I edited out (of the picture) the predicted rainfall column on the far right of the weather forecast and moved the “umbrella” icon over the percentage column, strictly for the sake of spacing.

The current weather icon is what I mostly desire. I can certainly live without the removal of the predicted rainfall amount column.

Any challengers? :thinking:

Seriously, thanks for all the help and patience you have all shown to me. :thumbsup:

I have been lurking on here for a while now picking up hints and tips along the way

You don’t have to lurk. Step into the light. No really, this place is just full of helpful, brilliant people. Any problems I encountered were immediately addressed when I posted my questions. I’m basically done with my (1st) mirror but I’m sticking around to try to repay those that helped, or continue to help me, by helping others, if I can.

@strawberry-3.141 said in Go East, young icon!:

you can achieve this without modifying the code

Strawberry-3.141 deserves an award. He went above and beyond in helping me customize the NetworkScanner module for me. Apparently, he is a genius, and willing to work well past midnight to help someone (me) with their MM. You have my highest praise.

All credit for this custom.css goes to Strawberry-3.141
}
.MMM-NetworkScanner .fa-ul {
margin-left: 2px; /* This aligned NetworkScanner to the left margin /
width: 130px; / If you remove this line it will be the same width as the widest module in the region, this can lead to a big gap, thats why i limited it to 130px if you add devices with longer names you might want to increase this value */
}

.MMM-NetworkScanner .fa-li {
position: relative; /* This put the icon on the right side */
float: right;
left: initial;
}

I dreamed it. He made it happen.

As far as showing the orbits, that’s a feature I’m hoping to have “real soon now”. I’ll let you know once I get it added o the module.

Fantastic!

P.S. It’s fun to see that Mercury has moved a couple of pixels since I first started developing this module. On the flip side, it’ll be about 80 years before Neptune moves from the lower right to the upper left of the display.

That’s awesome!

I’ve been sort of looking for a new scope. What I really want is a Meade LX90 10" or an LX200 but I’ll likely settle for an LX90 8" ACF or a LightSwitch 8". You know how expensive it can get.

I’m going to play with your module some more. Thanks again. Good stuff!

can you paste what you put in the MMM- simple-logo

            {
		module: 'MMM-SimpleLogo',
		position: 'bottom_left',  	// This can be any of the regions.
		fileUrl: "modules/MMM-SimpleLogo/public/yes.jpg",
		config: {
                   width: "275px",
		// The config property is optional.
		// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
		}
	},
	{
		module: 'MMM-SimpleLogo',
		position: 'bottom_right',	// This can be any of the regions.
		config: {
                    width: "275px",
		fileUrl: "modules/MMM-SimpleLogo/public/starship.jpg",
		// The config property is optional.
		// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
		}
	},

I have 2 entries in my config.js file for MMM-SimpleLogo. One for each picture that I want to display. You can see each of their positions. You can see where I keep the picture files (fileUrl). I believe that if you change the width: then the height will automatically adjust, keeping the aspect ratio of the picture.

One thing to keep in mind. Two entries using the same position. The earlier one in the config.js ( I call it HIGHER)
will be above (higher) on your display. I hope this makes sense. I don’t know why the width: entries look indented. Mine are aligned with config: above

we are men, we don’t rtfm unless we have to

That’s effing hilarious. (Don’t know if I am allowed to curse here)

It was quite humorous…

Hell yeah. Tim Allen at his best. :thumbsup:

Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I should RTFM before I start asking for things
