(2.1.0) New default module: update notification.

[MichMich]

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]

Margin issue should be fixed now.

@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.

[MichMich]

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

[Jopyth]

@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.

Or using your MagicMirror code project
