        Maybe a noobish question but why isn’t possible to run magicmirror and display it over 2 screens.
        So that you can say like module x on display 1 and module y on display 2 for example through a JS class??

          @MarkV well you ‘can’, but you have to do it manually, drag the mm window over both screens. but maximize will only do one screen. same on windows.

          where the module is displayed depends on the css structure. the ‘position’ is a predefined area in main.css, the module returns a blob of content (html div) and the mm runtime injects the content into its configured location

            Oh oke. But on windows you can also expand the desktop en have some things start on one en other thongs on the second screen…
            To bad that you have to drag them this would be one of the best addons for MMM

              @MarkV u can change the MM config and have it start on the second screen…

              add (after the address: config )

              electronOptions: {
                  x: ?????
              },
              

              where xxx is the width of your 1st display

              or y: ??? if vertical

              you can also run two instances of MM from the same folder with different configurations on different ports

              drag is to make ONE BIG MM across BOTH screens

              the maximize function only does ONE screen…

              open chrome on any screen, hit maximize button…

              nothing we can do
