You could remove the margins of the MM body, that way you would utilize more of the screen itself, since you have more mirror on the sides of the monitor :)

@broberg I will look into this - will give me a little more room. Cheers!

@djdwayneanthony Also here is my custom.css - it is only colour changes for the Weather forecast and not my work - copied from someone else’s post here…

Looks better - plus can get more calendar entries on the screen now! Thanks for the tip.

[broberg]

@sithlordhood no probs! glad I could give useful tips :D

On my raspberry I also noticed my 1920 background didn’t display correctly, I had black borders around the workspace that cut off some graphics, so I followed this :

And gained a couple of more pixels :) (ie I got the full 1920 resolution again)

@Cato I’ve been looking for a usb extension … I found one once that was round with 2 USB ports but I can’t find it again :( I would have drilled through my case and installed that!!

It´s easy just add this to your custom css:

body {

  width: calc(100% - 40px);
  background: #000;

.region.fullscreen {

just play with the px and don´t forget about the fullscreen mode for modules :)
