    Hi there! I am building a triple monitor/pi MM system that will go on my living room wall as a family command center. I have it almost entirely up and running (just building the frame now) but when I put it up on the wall, the font is small and this causes us not to be able to read it. Is there a way to set a universally larger font (perhaps in the config.js file) so that everything is larger and we can see it from the middle of the room?

      I have tried adding a custom font size into the magicmirror custom.css - nothing changed.
      I then went into each css file for each module that I wanted to be larger and if it had a font status, i changed it to be 100% (just to see if it worked) and nothing… and -yes, i rebooted the MM after each change. nothing… :( (also - I am running these on 21" monitors)

        Ah! Ok - sorry for a whole thread… I fixed my own problem by modifying the main.css file instead. :)

          So which aspects did you change? I plan on doing a monitor at the top of a full-body length mirror.

          I want the text to be smaller than it currently is. Which values should I change?

            :) I changed the main.css file. I can tell you what I did to make the font way bigger…

            I changed font size (currently says 2em)
            and line-height (currently 1.5em)

            and then under the .xsmall .small, etc I upped each value by 5

            If you want to go smaller - then try making each of those values smaller…

              Were you able to remove the gaps along the border?

              I disabled overscan so it fits to the entire screen, but I still seem to have margins along the side and cannot figure out where to change that. I’ve modified (what I thought) was the proper values but it doesn’t seem to resolve it.

                @ALombardi custom.css

                body {
                    margin: 0px;
                    width: 100%;
                    height: 100%;
                }
                

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