      I have come to appreciate having the info from my MagicMirror so much that I want to have little "mini"MagicMirrors in various rooms of my house.

      This is quite easy using the drawerful of old smartphones I have and MM’s serveronly function on a secondary port. It’s great because the phones need very minimal configuration, just put the MM’s serveronly address in a browser.

      The only snag I’m running into is that I would like the info to take up the whole screen rather then just part of the screen as would be typical with MM. (see images below)

      I’m hoping someone can suggest a simple CSS trick that would scale the whole MM content. If possible, something that would scale based on the width of the screen would be even better – allowing for phones of different sizes or even tablets.

      Thanks!

      What I have with the default CSS is:

              @sdetweil Thanks for the suggestions. The browser options didn’t seem to work for me, but the viewport CSS did. I couldn’t use your file as-is, but was able to borrow from it to add to my custom CSS.

              I ended up adding custom sizes for each element – one of the things I was trying to avoid – but it was the only workable solution I could come up with for now.

              I was wondering if the CSS transform: scale(x); might be a solution for scaling the whole layout, but I’m not sure what element to apply it to. Maybe someone who is more knowledgeable can comment.

              I know that the body margin, height, and width all need to be adjusted, not just the font size, so it would need to accommodate for that.

              Here’s my custom CSS if anyone’s interested:

              body {
              	margin: 6vw;
              	height: calc(100% - 12vw);
              	width: calc(100% - 12vw);
              	font-size: 9vw;
              	line-height: 9vw;
              }
              
              .small {
              	font-size: 9vw;
              	line-height: 9.5vw;
              }
              
              .medium {
              	font-size: 6vw;
              	line-height: 6.5vw;
              }
              
              .large {
              	font-size: 36vw;
              	line-height: 36vw;
              }
              
              header {
                font-size: 6vw;
                line-height: 6vw;
                padding-bottom: 2vw;
                margin-bottom: 3vw;
              }
              
              .module {
                margin-bottom: 12vw;
              }

                What you mean is called responsive web design. for example, you could use the tablet in portrait or landscape format and thus adjust the position of the modules.You have to change the index.html for this with the meta name viewport, but with an update the index.html will probably be overwritten.
