@strawberry-3.141 no problem, for fullscreen it would work

Different look for this module, just wanted to share :)…
Grayscale:

Or in color:

It’s only the pictures that differ from the gray or color ones.
You have to use your own pictures of course. :)

In the config.js:

{
	module: 'MMM-TouchNavigation',
	position: 'bottom_left',
	classes: "default everyone",
	config: {
		picturePlacement: "right",
		minWidth: "40px",
		direction: "column",
		buttons: {
			"Name1": {
				img: "http://www.your-picture.com/name1-Gray.png", 
				width: 60,
				height: 60
			},
			"Name2": {
				img: "http://www.your-picture.com/name2-Gray.png", 
				width: 60,
				height: 60
			},
			"Name3": {
				img: "http://www.your-picture.com/name3-Gray.png", 
				width: 60,
				height: 60
			}
		}
	}
},

In my custom.css:

/* Touch Buttons */
.navigation-button {
    margin: 5px;
    padding: 0px 0px;
    border: 2px solid #FFF; 
    border-radius: 0px;
    border-radius: 50%;
}
.navigation-picture {
    margin: 0px 0px;
    border-radius: 50%;
}
.navigation-menu {
    align-items: flex-start;
}
/* ----- End ----- */

Update: Just noticed that the buttons got “stretched” if something else was displayed in the same region. So I added the “.navigation-menu” part in the css.
If you have the buttons on the right side, use: “flex-end” instead of “flex-start”.

Enjoy! :)

@Snille it’s looking great! I really like what you did with the shape of the buttons! Thank you for sharing :D It’s awesome to hear people using my module and coming up with their own versions

Snille

@tosti007 Thank you! Now it fits perfectly with the MM-Hide-All module. :)

@Snille hi, i could not able to get pictures on the MM, below is my config and i completely deleted TouchNavigation.css contents and pasted your Custom.css contents

{
            module: "MMM-TouchNavigation",
            position: 'bottom_left',
	        classes: "default everyone",
            config: {
				picturePlacement: "right",
			    minWidth: "40px",
		        direction: "column",
		buttons: {
				"Sun": {
				img: "/home/pi/MagicMirror/Sun.png", 
				width: 60,
				height: 60
			},
			"Moon": {
				img: "/home/pi/MagicMirror/Moon.png", 
				width: 60,
				height: 60
			},
			}
			}
		},

@shashank it’s not able to find the images. Try changing the path. For me (on Windows) images only worked when I placed them in a sub folder in MM and used as path foldername/imagename. So try changing the way you write the path or try placing them in a sub folder

@shashank Hi! You should not need to delete the TouchNavigation.css file at all. It shall remain, you just have to add the css things in the MagicMirror/css/custom.css nothing else. The module itself shall remain “untouched”, then later on you will not have update problems. :) Also, I did only change what’s needed to be changed in the custom.css there are still settings in the TouchNavigation.css file that may be needed. Regarding the pictures, I’m not sure, as someone else mentioned I think you may need to create a sub-folder for them. But I never tested to have the pictures “locally”. Sorry.

@Snille thank you for pointing out about the css file, I read over that!
@shashank what @Snille says is right. The css file should remain as it is and you should put his css in css/custom.css file

Hi! Thanks for writing this! I’m trying to get it running but am having some troubles. I have a handful of modules listed as ignored in the profile switcher module (including the clock so at least something should be showing all the time) but as soon as I enable the TouchNavigation module all I see is a black screen. No modules are displayed/visible.

I double checked the MODULE_DATA from the remote-control module, it appears all the modules are loading correctly. Any thoughts on what might be going on?
