        As Sam said b it stays on the screen always. Just the message though.
        Sorry it annoys you so.
        Take your time I am not in a hurry, never am.
        Just thought I would let you know. I am sure others are watching this to add to their pages too…

          Unfortunately I have a few problems with your MMM-Birthday module. When I start the MM and there is a birthday, it is immediately displayed in the
          middle (middle_center) on all pages without taking the position from config.js into account. The display is not yet dimmed on all pages.
          Confetti is displayed in the correct position (lower_third) on the specified page as specified in the config.js, fireworks only sometimes but the
          icons are missing!
          On the 2nd and all subsequent runs of the pages, the birthday is also displayed in the correct position (lower_third) but without a name (undefined!)
          with confetti (always) and fireworks (only sometimes) but still without icons. The display now will be dimmed on all pages.
          If I start the MM and there is no birthday, everything is fine, nothing is displayed.
          If a birthday is coming up from 00:00, it will be displayed as described above in the correct position (lower_third) with confetti but without a
          name (undefiend!), without fireworks and without icons. The display is darkened on all pages so that it is barely legible.

            @xIExodusIx Yes, there is an issue with it working alongside MMM-Pages. It seems that the methods I use to make it display interfere with MMM-Pages. MMM-Birthday doesn’t play well with others and tends to do its own thing, which doesn’t work with MMM-Pages. I’m working on a solution, but I haven’t had much time to spare lately.

              suspend() and resume() functions you can add to be notified when being hidden (suspend) and shown (resume)

                I was going to ask if you had found a work around for pages and MMM-Birthdays. I also tried it with pages and just one other module. MMM-Birthdays takes over even MMM-MPlayer and it is a bully too.
                Always wanting to be on top… You idea is awesome, but the deployment needs a little work…
                I am trying a few different setups now that I have a “test setup”.
                I really want to make MPLayer and Birthdays to play nice on one of my displays. So far no bueno…

                    @plainbroke Working on it! The plain and simple truth is I took a few shortcuts with the behaviour of the module, and that came back to bite me. I’m working on it, but its in my spare time and right now I have precious little of it. But as soon as I get it fixed, I’ll post here.
