Favico and Date& Time for homepage.dev

Hi Guys,

i'm struggling with Corona lying in bed and try to configure my self-
hosted homepage from [homepage.dev](https://homepage.dev).
For now, I'm very proud of myself, because for now everything's works
fine. 4 kinds of Server's a showing their information, the most
docker-containers shown their Information. Weather is working, Date &
Time and for now I'm working on my bookmarks.


Now some Questions:

1. Date & Time is showing after the cpu and stuff. I would like to
have it in first place. Of course, I put it in first place in the
widget.yml. But that seems not to be the solution
2. How - easily - to get the favico's for my bookmarks? No, not all my
bookmarks aren't that easy and everybody knows them. How can i get the
icons from their homepage?


​

        - Google Drive:
            - abbr: GD
              icon: favicon.ico
              href: https://drive.google.com/drive/
              target: _blank


This is my example. Of course, it's not working...


Guys, I'm old. No Programming-Skills at all. Yes, YAML seems to be
easy, but please help me with some tips.

Thanks in advance

Dan

snap :) I've been messing about with Homepage this week too.


From what I understand the normal format for these is to use a png
icon. usually with the name for the service eg reddit.png.


So far I found a missing icon for Pihole of all services. I resolved
this by simply pointing directly at the icon in my Pihole web server.
ie. [http://pihole.ip/admin/img/logo.svg](http://pihole.ip/admin/img/l
ogo.svg)

I'm sure you could do something similar for Google Drive or anything
else.


* Go to website in question.
* Right click icon and choose open in new tab or window.
* Copy and paste URL into your YAML file.

I've not worked then out yet. I manage to get the Date/time into
"British" with:


Widgets.yaml

`- datetime:`
`text_size: xl`
`locale: en-gb`
`format:`
`dateStyle: long`
`timeStyle: long`

30 October 2023 at 21:02:33.

Search provider is in there too. I've left it at DuckDuckGo for now.
I'm not going to get it as I want it any time soon. I've got to figure
out what I want first :p

Me neither. For now everythings i "need" is working. The Rest is
optical fineness.
