My 1st MagicMirror2

@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!!

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 :)

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

body {
  margin: 20px;
  position: absolute;
  height: calc(100% - 40px);
  width: calc(100% - 40px);
  background: #000;
  color: #aaa;
  font-family: "Roboto Condensed", sans-serif;
  font-weight: 400;
  font-size: 2em;
  line-height: 1.5em;
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
}

.region.fullscreen {
  position: absolute;
  top: -20px;
  left: -20px;
  right: -20px;
  bottom: -20px;
}

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