    I didn’t want to start a separate thread for this, but I didn’t want to leave it unmentioned here in the forum either 🙂 The website has undergone a major modernization. Mainly technical changes under the hood and the design has been retained except for a few details. But there are also a few things that regular users of the site might notice: For example there is now a dark mode, responsiveness and accessibility have been improved, there is a favicon, an animated GIF showing the MagicMirror interface and faster loading times. https://magicmirror.builders/

    @sdetweil That does work. Looking back, I did try that, but I wonder if maybe I had a typo in the region name or something. Makes things side-by-side as you say (for my usage with upper_third region): .region.upper.third .container { flex-direction: row; } Thanks, as always, for all the hard work and all the kind help!

    I read these replies a while back and I want to re-ask the question but with more detailed specs. I looked at @sdetweil comments about mini-PC’s and while Amazon is not necessarily reflective of what is out in the market, the mini-PC’s advertised on Amazon using the search term mini-PC are pretty pricy. I don’t know enough about Linux to know whether this business with Wayland was or is a Raspberry Pi thing or a Linux thing but it did make me wonder whether using just Pi OS AND Pi SBC’s can be a trap. I can buy Pi 4’s that will run MM all day long for around $50.00 or thereabouts but are there other brand SBC’s out there that will run MM or can install a desktop environment OS. MM’s make popular gifts that can be tailored to a specific user.

    Dear community, just a heads-up for those of you using MMM-Globe with the europeDiscNat or europeDiscSnow style — you’ve probably noticed that the satellite image has been stuck since around February 22. Turns out EUMETSAT has pulled the plug on their old static image server at eumetview.eumetsat.int. They moved to a shiny new platform at view.eumetsat.int, but unfortunately it’s a JavaScript app now — no more simple image URLs we can point a module at. I’ve also opened an issue on the original repo for reference: https://github.com/LukeSkywalker92/MMM-Globe/issues/22 I realize this probably flew under the radar for most of you — if your globe is pointed at the Americas or Asia, everything’s fine. But for the small but proud club of European globe watchers, it’s been a rough week staring at the same cloud pattern wondering if the weather had simply stopped. Since the original MMM-Globe hasn’t seen any updates in a while, I went ahead and created a fork that adds a new “meteosat” style. It pulls Meteosat full-disk imagery from the CIRA SLIDER service (run by NOAA/RAMMB at Colorado State University). The GeoColor product looks really nice on the mirror — natural color during the day, and city lights on a Blue Marble background at night. I think you’ll like it! Big thanks to Luke Scheffler (@lukecodewalker) for creating MMM-Globe in the first place — his idea of turning satellite images into a globe with a simple CSS circle clip is just brilliant. This fork builds on his work. If you want to give it a try: cd ~/MagicMirror/modules rm -rf MMM-Globe git clone https://github.com/rkorell/MMM-Globe.git Then change your config to: { module: “MMM-Globe”, position: “lower_third”, config: { style: “meteosat”, imageSize: 600, updateInterval: 15 * 60 * 1000 } }, The fork also fixes an annoying startup issue where the globe would stay blank after a reboot if the network wasn’t ready yet — something that probably bugged a few of us running this on a Raspberry Pi. All the details, available styles and config options are in the README: https://github.com/rkorell/MMM-Globe Happy mirroring! 🪞

    @techeros part of the problem is that people ‘assume’ that data entry (making calendar entries, updating chore lists, adding to shopping lists) is ‘built in’, ’ of course’… we don’t have that… the design for MM is a composable(different modules for different data sources) information panel. data entry is phone, display is MM. and then there is a whole HOST of fun things, dakboard has this ‘cool’ white background… MM is black, and all the modules are transparent, showing the black. change the background to white (easy), but the modules do not auto adjust cause they are all user developed and didn’t use the built in styles…

    sorry to revive this thread. I’m trying to get this going on my own MM @tjat do you think you’d be able to post your config.js file so I could have a reference please?
