MM does not start full screen (pi Zero)
-
Hi all,
With some help of a friend I was able to get the MM running on a pie zero. The only problem that I am now running into is that the MM window does not start full screen. (see image)
Can anyone help me with this? My programming experience does not reach further than installing and configuring some modules.
Thanks in advance!

@jthewarrior7 Is it starting electron window or chromium browser ? I recently made my magic mirror with pi zero w and had some issues with electron but as it is optional npm start is starting chromium browser in full screen and it is working fine, Also I am using Rapbian OS Desktop version.
-
@ashishtank yes, if you used my installer script, it would have setup for chromium…
-
@sdetweil Yes, I did used it Sam. I also mentioned it in your scripts topic as well. Thanks for the script :)
-
@ashishtank I know. i was talking to @jthewarrior7
-
Yes it is indeed chromium
-
@jthewarrior7 ok, if u close mm, pm2 stop 0.
then start chromium manually. (probably from terminal window), does it open to fill the screen?
-
I have started the
chromium-browser, which opens in the same size as the magic mirror. -
@jthewarrior7 May be it is remembering the last opened size of browser ? can you maximize it then close and reopen it ? Is it open maximized ? Then try with Mirror script.
-
@ashishtank but the script (run-start.sh), requests maximize…
