      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 Borderless Layout

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

                    @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 :
                    http://www.opentechguides.com/how-to/article/raspberry-pi/28/raspi-display-setting.html

                    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:
