      @rmonkey I have started searching for a picture frame to use for the display.
      Would you please tell me the size of the picture frame you used?

        @rmonkey If you use MMM-BackgroundSlideShow, it has a radial option that is basically a vignette.

          @rrslssr , I took the monitor to Michaels and asked for a custom frame and matte. I told them I wanted a 2.5" mat out to the frame (make sure to specify the display only, not display plus bezels).

          Then I picked a frame that I liked that met the minimum depth requirements for the Pi Zero 2.

          I also made sure I got gallery glass, which has an antireflective coating.

          They kept messing up the matte and I ended up going to Hobby Lobby. They recut the matte correctly and even cut the foam core used to hold everything in place.

            @jbat66, that’s fantastic. I’ll experiment with that when I do a refresh of the whole deal. Thank you!
