MMM-Worldclock custom icons
Trying to add custom icons to my MMM-Worldclock module. I figured out how to display the icons, but I’m having a hard time with the sizing. Where / how do I update the code to adjust the sizing for custom icons, please? thanks in advance.

RE: MagicMirror won't run after restart
@sdetweil Appreciate the follow-up. Sorry for my radio silence; replied to the post shortly after your response on Sunday, but guess I wasn’t logged in so it got rejected. Here’s an update:
Started MM innpm run server
mode, but MMM-EveryNews still wouldn’t load. Great idea though on starting in server to bypass ‘electron’ :thumbs_up: Still dumbfounded why ‘electron’ was having such a hard time.Decided I was done messing with the OrangePi and loaded up a spare RaspberryPi 3 I had laying around. The Pi I was running the MM on was an OrangePi zero2, which is a pretty nice piece of hardware if you are having a hard time finding a good priced RaspberryPi, but I think there may be some driver or OS issues, since it tries to replicate the RaspberryPi OS. :man_shrugging:
Loaded up the RaspberryPi with Raspbian, then reloaded all the same MM modules and hit run. Ran like a champ after configuring everything, including https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-EveryNews/issues/5 from @sdetweil.
Moral of the story - think either a driver got messed up, an OS file got messed up, or I was messed up. Starting from scratch did the trick though, and it’s up and running.
Thanks @sdetweil! I appreciate your help and timely responses!

RE: MagicMirror won't run after restart
@sdetweil thanks for catching the typo.
Ran it again correctly this time; here’s what I have:
Still hung up trying to launch MM. I’m lost -
RE: MagicMirror won't run after restart
@sdetweil Thanks for your quick reply!
Ran what you said and got this:
Not sure what it means (researching now), but at least I have an error finally! haha

RE: MagicMirror won't run after restart
@sdetweil image is from the orangePi cmd terminal. When I restarted, everything came up as normal, but when I try to start MagicMirror in the terminal it just hangs up and never starts. Wish it would at least give me some kind of error or something.

MagicMirror won't run after restart
MagicMirror was running great, but after restarting the Pi, now it gets hung up here:
Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

RE: MMM-EveryNews Errors
@sdetweil HAHAHA! I figured so, but I learned a bunch along the way, so still a success in my book. :call_me_hand:

RE: MMM-EveryNews Errors
@sdetweil Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! Reading through that thread, found the fix here: fix for black screen in 2.16 and later
I did a bunch of other stuff just to start clean, such as deleting the whole ‘node_modules’ folder using:
rm -r node_modules
Then ran
npm install
. Think that helped out to get rid of anything that could have been causing problems. Think I read this in another thread, but I’ll reiterate: Don’t runnpm install
in your /MagicMirror directory. Don’t know the exact reasoning, but I know that it messes things up (won’t confirm nor deny if I might have done that :grinning_squinting_face: )Since I wasn’t getting all the package updates for some reason, I also enabled Universe repositories using
sudo add-apt-repository universe
which immediately fixed 3 package errors. After that, I did what @sdetweil recommended here:
cd ~/MagicMirror rm -rf node_modules rm package-lock.json npm install
then for whatever module was causing problem
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/modulename
do the same last 3 steps as above
AND THENnpm install request --save
Again, thanks for the help! Hope I can also save someone some headache in the future, which is why I showed all my work here.
