      Project Update (& Installation Instructions)

      @skibro @bachoo786 @Sean @smackenzie5
      Alrighty y’all! Got some great news for those who wanna try this setup out. Heads up though—might take a bit of time to set up,
      so don’t expect to get it looking right in a couple clicks.

      First, I’ve added Pexels support to MMM-Wallpaper (thanks @kolbyjack for the quick response).

      As for everything else, all the instructions for setting it up can be found here

      Though I’ve been doing development work for a while, this is one of my first open-source projects, so I’ll definitely do my best to help you guys out if you need it.

        @earlman I have to say I really love the grid concept. I have a monitor sitting in the lower right corner of the mirror and a grid design would look much better.
        Can you share your main.css or is it on GitHub?
        Sorry just saw the latest reply with all the information I needed. Thanks man!!

          Thanks for putting this together.
          Finally had some time to work on this today but got the following error message when running it for the first time:

          			position: "fullscreen_below",
          			config: { // See "Configuration options" for more information.
          				source: "pexels",
              				slideInterval: 60 * 1000, // Change slides every minute
              				orientation: "vertical",
              				pexels_key: [my API key was here],
              				pexels_search: "beach"
          				}
            		},
          

          Thoughts?

          Thanks,

            exels_key: [my API key was here],

            you need to get a pexels api key and put in where the text says

              Yeah, I have the Pexels API key.
              Replaced it with those words just for the forum post.

              @earlman
              BTW - getting the Pexels API key was immediate, no wait

              Thanks,

                @smackenzie5 did you put quotes around the key value? If not, that would explain the config error message

                    @lavolp3 Yup, no problem :D hope it works out, if you’re having layout troubles feel free to post a screenshot. Haven’t tested this on a more filled out layout so I’d be curious how it looks

                      Yeah, that would be the problem…
                      Works now - thanks.

                      Two pictures, before and after:

                      Obviously, have some work to do on the After but it’s too late tonight to get started with that.

                      Thanks,
