regions...

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!

You don’t need to create new regions…just make your module width larger…

There is no need to create new regions when you can just ‘stack’ your modules and they will move automatically…

@cowboysdude
Moy sure I am following what you mean

[justjim1220]

@cowboysdude
the reasoning for our inquiry is to have more than 3 regions like in the top or bottom
I would like to have 5 (or more) modules side by side across the top or bottom

Stacking the modules? that is still 3 regions, but having modules on top of each other in each region, not side by side

[cowboysdude]

If you put more then one module in a region starting with the top of the config down will stack them in the region you put them in…

[sdetweil]

@cowboysdude he doesn’t want stack, he wants side by side

[justjim1220]

@cowboysdude
Just forget it. You don’t seem to be grasping the concept we are referring to.

I know you feel that I am just a dumbass

So, don’t anyone listen to me any more!

Geez!

[BKeyport]

Stacking is great, but for those of us that have landscape mode monitors, that becomes useless rather quickly. I’d rather have the modules sit next to each other.

My one mirror at home will go Portrait mode eventually, so the stacking will work… the one at work (due to a broken part) will always be landscape.

I love that (and you) if you find how to have 5 ragions on the same line, i need to display MM on my TV !

@sdetweil

Any chance you ever try this?

[isaac2004]

Is there a way to “hover” modules over eachother. For instance if I use Lucy to “SHOW” a module, I want it to float above all other modules. Currently, it pushes modules down.

[sdetweil]

@justjim1220 no, sorry

@isaac2004

You could always modify Lucy to HIDE specific (or all) modules when you SHOW specific modules OR create pages for sets of modules so that none ever occupy the same region at the same time OR single module pages.

@isaac2004 IIRC there is a region for fullscreen above that allows you to put modules on top of everything else. Maybe it won’t solve all your wishes, but worth looking in to.

@isaac2004

There is a chance that MMM-Modal might be of help to you on this…

[isaac2004]

@retroflex fullscreen_above does not cover the whole screen sadly

[sdetweil]

@isaac2004 I had to add

    this.wrapper.style.border = "none";
    this.wrapper.style.margin = "0px";

when I used the fullscreen.above style for my module

[isaac2004]

@retroflex Also some modules don’t listen to fullscreen, if the DOM gets updated, it paints over any fullscreen region
