Raspbian is fullscreen, but the MM not

sdetweil

@Clubjack part of the raspi buster setup asks you if you see a border around the screen, if so (looks like yes) it adjusts the overscan

to fix, from the buster desktop, top left menu, select Preferences, Configuration, then System, screen overscan

sorry, pic says that is not the problem… MM doesn’t understand rotated to portrait mode

sdetweil

@Clubjack how did u rotate the screen?

@sdetweil Here is how I rotated mine and probably the same method was used.

The video also discusses removing the black border as well.

Hey.
I have no Problems with Black border.
Raspbian is fullscreen.
But MM is only in a small Window.

Have the same issue and can’t seem to find the answer. Did anyone figure out how to fix it? Can you share, please?

sdetweil

stop mm

cd ~
rm -rf .config/Electron

note the dot in front of config

restart mm

teandryk

Thanks for the fast reply but it does not work. I done

cd ~
pm2 stop mm.sh
rm -rf .config/Electron
pm2 start mm.sh

and still have 600x800

@teandryk are u on the pi display or over vnc

teandryk

fount it,
in ~/MagicMirror/js/electron.js in

function createWindow()
…
width: 800,
height: 600,
…

To get the current resolution:

fbset

@teandryk u can set that in config.js

electronOptions: {width: xxx, height: yyy},

but it should have done it automatically
