    Hello all

    I am very new to all of this but I am still learning. I have ran into a little snag I do not know what I did or how to fix it.

    I have been slowly programming my Pi device and everything has been going good, until I turned it on yesterday and everything looked a little crazy. The last thing I did is at the module for my horoscope, and everything seem to be fine. I rebooted the device many times and it was still working. When I came back Sunday and turned everything on that’s when things started to get strange. It looks Like the resolution is off but I do not know how to fix it any help would be greatly appreciated

        I would disable the Horoscope module to see if things go back to normal. You don’t have to delete anything. Simply add disabled: true, to the config entry for the horoscope module. Save and run MM and see what happens.

        EXAMPLE:

        {
            disabled: true,
            module: "MMM-YourHoroscopeModule",
            position: "top_center",
            config: {
                maxWidth: "75%",       // Sizes the images. Retains aspect ratio.
                style: '1',            // Style number or use ownImagePath to override style
               ownImagePath: '', 
            }
        },

        Create a working config

            you’re looking at a vnc viewer here. I think (!) they create their own resolution. Is the mirror itself behaving the same?
            Have you adjusted resolution of the desktop?

              @lavolp3 yes the mirror is the same. I did check that and it’s set for 1024x768
