          I am using MMM-GooglePhotos. You can see some screen shots of my MM with the photos as a background here, https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/18217/my-first-attempt?_=1701883849212.

          And here is my config for that module:

                  {
                      module: "MMM-GooglePhotos",
                      position: "fullscreen_below",
                      config: {
                          albums: ["Magic Mirror", "Instagram", "Keepers"], 
                          updateInterval: 1000 * 60 * 10,
                          scanInterval: 1000 * 60 * 10,
                          sort: "random",
                          uploadAlbum: null,		
                          condition: {
                              fromDate: null, 	// Or "2018-03", RFC ... format available
                              toDate: null, 		// Or "2019-12-25"
                              minWidth: null, 	// Or 400
                              maxWidth: null, 	// Or 8000
                              minHeight: null, 	// Or 400
                              maxHeight: null, 	// Or 8000
                              minWHRatio: null,
                              maxWHRatio: null
                              //  WHRatio:1			
                          },
                          // showWidth: 200,		
                          // showHeight: 800,
                          timeFormat: "YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm", // Or `relative` can be used.
                      }
                  },
          

          And some custom CSS:

          #GPHOTO_INFO { display: none; }
          
          #GPHOTO_CURRENT {
          	background-size: cover;
          	position:absolute;
          	bottom:0;

            @JeffreyDaro My problem is getting registered for api access. Documentation doesn’t match up with what’s on the screen. Thanks for sharing your config though, very helpful!
