regions...

The real estate is there when using a 46" TV as a monitor, and it can always be modified with using ‘zoom’ or ctrl - or ctrl shift +

I did try modifying the main.css also, still no luck.

I tried to modify the main.css and it didn’t do anything.

@yawns

never thought to look there, will try it and see if it works, thanks!

@justjim1220 others noted that you will also have to edit the index.html to add the regions and the main.js

var updateWrapperStates = function() {
var positions = [“top_bar”, “top_left”, “top_center”, “top_right”, “upper_third”, “middle_center”, “lower_third”, “bottom_left”, “bottom_center”, “bottom_right”, “bottom_bar”, “fullscreen_above”, “fullscreen_below”];

which lists all the known regions

@sdetweil

thanks, was looking at that just now. :winking_face:

@justjim1220 I’m actually trying to do the exact same thing, but very limited knowledge with css. I’d be curious to see your index.html and main.css files if you get this working as expected. I updated main.js to be aware of the positions for now and am going to dig into creating the separate regions

@geograha

Sorry, got sidetracked into doing other stuff

My investigating showed there are a few places needing changed within MM code to get it to work

I haven’t given up, just placed it on the back burner for now.

Likewise with you, if you happen to figure it out before I do, let me know what you did. :winking_face:

I’d love to see this - I’ve got a ton of dead space on my MM because of the lack of 5 columns of info.

@bkeyport
I know the feeling
To keep up with the ‘mirror’ effect, I am wanting to surround the middle with a ‘frame’ of modules
Kinda like a monopoly game board with the middle or inside the properties being free of any modules to keep the mirror functioning as a mirror

Of course I am trying to make one with a 42" tv, rotated vertical, so I will have plenty of room at the top and bottom for more than one row of modules

My first idea, was to figure out how to show the modules in a frame around a working TV, without any interference to what is being watched. Which Is what I really want to be able to do!

@bkeyport

I don’t even really need modules on the sides, I have been paying attention a lot to how most tv I watch, which are movies, they almost always have a black area at the top and bottom of the screen. It’s getting the modules and the tv to display at the same time!
