    @sdetweil Hi Sam, CTRL + “-” decreases the size of the modules in the window. However, the Magic Mirror window’s overall size remains the same. I would like to show it full screen again so that I don’t see the desktop.

      I just tried to start MM with npm start from the MagicMirror directory. Didn’t work.

      This is the message I receive:

      magicmirror@2.13.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
      DISPLAY=“${DISPLAY:=:0}” ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

        I was able to almost fix my problem using

        electronOptions : { width: 1080, height: 1920 }
        

        However, I have a thin line from the desktop at the right and bottom edge shining through. The electron window does not cover the whole screen. I tried to use fullscreen: true and kiosk: trueand set the width and height to values higher than my display size but it didn’t change anything. Interesting though, when I set x: 1 in electronOptions to offset the window by a pixel, the thin line will disappear on the right side but appears on the left.

        Any ideas how to fix this? @sdetweil

            @sdetweil Thank you for your advise, Sam.
            This is what I already tried - and just tried again:

            electronOptions:{ x:0, width: 1081, height: 1921, fullscreen: false, kiosk: true }

            The problem remains the same. I also added more than one pixel to width and height but it wouldn’t change the result.

                @sdetweil O.k. Thank you for the information. I still wonder why the Magic Mirror does not cover the full desktop. Before the latest update, I did not see anything but the Mirror window.

                  @maxheartrate good question. Can u tell me the version.

                  grep version ~/MagicMirror/package.json

                  The develop branch is a big jump on electron version…

                    Hi Sam,

                    it’s "version": "2.13.0".

                      Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to fix my problem yet. Does anyone have an idea how to get the full fullscreen?
                      @sdetweil or someone else? Advise would be highly appreciated. Best, Max
