@synint is there any custom.css for this?

Apologies for my lack of knowledge. I have commented out sizes vales using // but did not resolve the situation. I am using Geany text editor to amend the config file but but do not see a button that looks like </>. The only CSS file I can find looks like this:

:root {
  --color-text: #999;
  --color-text-dimmed: #666;
  --color-text-bright: #fff;
  --color-background: #000;
  --font-primary: "Roboto Condensed";
  --font-secondary: "Roboto";
  --font-size: 20px;
  --font-size-xsmall: 0.75rem;
  --font-size-small: 1rem;
  --font-size-medium: 1.5rem;
  --font-size-large: 3.25rem;
  --font-size-xlarge: 3.75rem;
  --gap-body-top: 60px;
  --gap-body-right: 60px;

@synint don’t edit our files

all css updates go in custom.css
if it doesn’t exist, create it

the design is custom.css overrides anything specified before it is loaded (last)

the paste thing is in the forum message editor

@sdetweil Hi Sam I now have a MagicMirror that works and would not have been possibe without your support and help which I would like to thank you for.

[sdetweil]

@synint awesome… what made it right?

[synint]

@sdetweil Sorry Sam should have mentioned it in the last post. I set the maxWidth and maxHeight to the mointor size which is a TV e.g. 1366px x 768px. I also changed the postion of the moduler to Fullscreen_below and re booted. I do not know if this helped but reduced my images size to less than 1366px x 768px. Does not look exactly as I originally envisaged but looks good enough. I did not chane the CSS file settings as this is beyond my knowledge but afeter looking athe CSS settings realised by changing them you can get it to look exactly how you want it. Cheers, John
