    is there any way to add regions to MM?

    For instance: where middle_center is , how could i be change to add middle_left and middle_right?

    Also, could there be a way to get more than 3 in a section?
    IE: currently we have top_left, top_center, & top_right
    Could it be changed to have 4 or 5 sections?

    My interest is to have modules as a frame to a completely blank center

    16 modules:

    top_left            top_left_center           top_center           top_right_center             top_right
    
    middle_top_left                                                                          middle_top_right
    
    middle_center_left                                                                    middle_center_right
    
    middle_bottom_left                                                                    middle_bottom_right
    
    bottom_left        bottom_left_center        bottom_center        bottom_right_center        bottom_right
    

    would this be possible???

    I’ve tried to declare them in custom.css, but of course, it didn’t work, so I am assuming they are declared elsewhere in MM’s core coding…

      @justjim1220 they are in MM/css/main.css
      there isn’t much real estate to make many distinct regions…

        @justjim1220
        You should modify main.js which has a definition of module position hardcoded

          Shouldn’t the index.html be changed as well to add additional divs with his classes?

            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.

                  @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

                      @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
