      Sad to report; Didn’t seem to solve the problem. YET, It almost seemed like the fade out animation was a tiny bit smoother, can’t say it for sure tho.

        @TiemenMoesker bugger, also when you increase gpu memory to a higher level than 64mb default

        Also it could still be unsupported in electron or it has to be taken to another element…

        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

            @TiemenMoesker maybe also @Jeff could have a look after his holidays as he is quiet familiar with css and he could check if the stuff I mentioned is valid

              I don’t even remember changing this to 96, but it’s been like that since January, and no issues.

                @strawberry-3.141 Alright, although I am not sure this has anything to do with css. First, because 99% of the people who have MM2 don’t have this problem, yet the same css. Second, I just found out that it’s not just the Newsfeed and the Compliments. I have installed the MMM-Earth module and the same thing happends. Time freezes, animation starts (not smooth at all, it only shows me one fade frame), CPU usage spikes to 99% and my PI is hotter than a BBQ.

                I think it has something to do with the hardware.

                My hardware =BCM2835
                Revision= a02082

                    My suspicion as well, as previously stated. And just to cover all bases, the only interface I have enabled is VNC. I don’t know if that matters in the least.

                      I researched the BCM2835 today if there where any known problems with it. Turns out there are, I just didn’t understand any of them. English is not my first language and I am a kinda new to the whole Raspberry Pi stuff and all the programming around it.

                        @TiemenMoesker I’m sure thats not the reason for it, but it was worth trying it as a possible fix
