Alert box location

[PointPubMedia]

Hey guys…

Anyone manage to get the alert box location to be center/center instead of center/top ?

@PointPubMedia Just in case, the name of the position value is “middle_center”. Not “center_center”. Are you getting any errors when you change the position?

@bhepler I tried… but looks like the position value have no effect on the alert module…

the alert module is a bit of an odd one. It has a specific config option for the position:

modules: [
    ...
    {
        module: 'alert',
        config: {
            position: "right"
        }
    }
]

But this will only allow you to change it from center to left or right.

@MichMich yeah already saw that… but I would like to display it on the center of the height too!

My MM is a 42" monitor in portrait… so having the alert at the top is not very usefull!

Any way the module alert can have another option to put it center/center instead of top/left,right,center ?

I just did a quick test on my laptop.
Edit ~/MagicMirror/css/custom.css and add the following:

.ns-box {
top: 50%;
}

This should move the alert box to the vertical center. You can use the config position @MichMich mentioned to move to the horizontal center.
