      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".

                  Best, Max

                    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

                          @sdetweil Sorry. I didn’t mean to push you. I just checked my home directory. There is no config folder. I don’t really see any other folder that looks like one.
