    Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.

    Allocation of display sections (e.g. 'lower third' and so on) gives strange results after upgrade to 2.11.0

      @phil erase the node_modules/electron folder
      Then do

      npm install electron@version --only=prod
      

      The --only keeps from loading the stuff used by testing… like the chromedriver

      I last tested 6.0.12, but don’t know if it was ok for portrait mode use

      U may have to redo npm install in module folders. As many modules depend on electron levels

      All this from the MagicMirror folder

        “I last tested 6.0.12, but don’t know if it was ok for profile use”
        Did you mean ‘portrait’ use? But I have this problem also in landscape mode without rotated screen.

        I removed the electron folders in node_modules and did

        npm install electron@3.0.6 --only=prod
        

        With this version everything is fine again. I try to figure out for which version of electron it breaks…

              I have the following results now:

              electron 3.x.x : working as expected
              electron 4.x.x : not working at all, the screen stays black
              from electron 5 up to latest version (8.2.2) : The text of the different modules gets overlaid as shown in the screenshots.

              For the moment I stay at version 3.0.13 as all the modules I’m using are working fine.
              (alert, updatenotification, clock, calendar, compliments, newsfeed, helloworls, MMM-ImageSlideshow)

              But I fear at some point I’ll have to update to be able to use the latest MagicMirror commit…

              Can I somehow set this topic to “Closed” or “Solved” (at least for now ;-) )?

              And, thank you very much for your help, @sdetweil !

                @phil you will probably need to do npm install in some of the module folders when u change electron versions…

                I would do the test with the sample config…

                anyhow… u didn’t open this as a problem, so it can’t be closed…
