      @MichMich isn’t it like pushing down the other modules with the default module margin, if there is no update available?

      Firing an alert would make more sense to me.

      PS; german translation added

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

        I like the idea, but as @strawberry-3-141 says, maybe a notification at start up would be good alternative? Or as an additional option, so if you do not set a position, you see the notification, and if you have a fixed position it does not show a notification.

        If it pushes other modules down, the module could just hide itself instead?

        @strawberry-3-141 Added some feedback on the translation.

          Indeed, when hidden it is pushing down other modules. Will fix this in an upcoming release. (This is actually a core issue … When it’s hidden. It should not push other modules down.)

          I’m not a fan of an alert since these are very obstructive. In some cases you won’t have the time to immediately update. If we use notifications, these would stay in the way.

          Since most mirrors aren’t restarted very often, a message at start up would not make much sense.

              @MichMich Well, I start my mirror in the morning, and shut it down before going to sleep, so a notification at start up would be perfect for me. I even installed a “light” switch under my mirror to do that. But maybe this is really just me, I can implement this on my fork.

                But then still, after starting you would instantly see the message, right?

                  @MichMich Yes. Since the mirror is integrated into our wardrobe, with our shoes beneath it, I get ready for my morning run in front of it. So there I would notice the update notification (that was my original thought at least). But this is really not a big issue, the fixed message probably works fine as well.
