      Hi, I have been working on my magic mirror and everything is working great! Today I flipped the orientation of the mirror to vertical. Most of the modules that I have work great in the vertical orientation, however, a few, like MMM Tools and the Bible Gateway module that shows a Bible verse stretches out too far toward the center and covers up another module.

      The MMM Tools is set for top left, but it does not appear flush top left, it is closer to the clock module that is top center. How can I move MMM Tools more to the left? Or how can I make modules in general more flushed to the edge of the screen?

      The Bible Gateway module is set for bottom right and runs into the default news module set for bottom center position.

      I am new to the Magic Mirror so any help would be appreciated !

          @sdetweil okay I’ve read through some of what you posted. So I’m trying to get to the developer window to remove or modify certain regions on screen?

            @matthewlawson3 to find them, understand what is where.

            and y can copy main.css to custom css and give every region a different background color

              If you wanna use the entire screen - in custom.css add:

              /* Use the entire screen */
              
              body {
              	margin: 0px;
              	height: 100vh;
              	width: 100vw;
               }
              

              Don’t copy main.css into custom and start there - it’s a bad idea - just fiddle with the tags you wanna adjust. The mirror loads main.css, then every module’s CSS file, then custom.css and css will add your rules to the tag.

              The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

                @bkeyport make sure if u change body like that, to fix the fullscreen definition which does a negative value to reverse the margin value coded in body.

                also, copying main was because we recommend NOT changing values there

                  @sdetweil okay. I’ve never modified anything CSS. Sounds like I am modifying code like that that is used for a webpage. A few questions…

                  Where is the main.css and custom.css located?

                  You are saying make a copy of the original main.css and I then modify the original main.css? I assume if something goes wrong that I can then copy back in place the copy of the original main.css to get everything back to normal.

                  What do I use custom.css for?

                  Thanks and forgive my ignorance on this!

                    @matthewlawson3 the css files are in the MagicMirror/css folder

                    MagicMirror is indeed a webpage, called a Single Page Application

                    because CSS supports overriding (replacing) styles previously defined
                    the order of processsing is

                    main.css
                    any module provided classes/styles, thru the getStyles() method
                    custom.css

                    this way custom.css can change anything defined before

                      @matthewlawson3 I was suggesting NEVER to modify main.css

                      so, if u follow that rule, you need custom.css to contain what is in main.css for testing
