Need help resizing in vertical orientation

[Matthewlawson3]

@sdetweil ahh that is MMM Tools. Since MMM Tools and the calendar are in the top left position this is how they end up. I like the calendar where it is. But the MMM Tools is pushed over to the right in this set up. Without the calendar, MMM Tools moves back to the left and out of the way.

[sdetweil]

@matthewlawson3
yeh, MMM-Tools looks like it has some css problems…

[Matthewlawson3]

@sdetweil Anything you can recommend for me to get it to behave? Something I could do in the custom.css?

[sdetweil]

@matthewlawson3 i don’t know… haven’t look at it before…

[Matthewlawson3]

@sdetweil Oh okay.

[Matthewlawson3]

@sdetweil I tried the full screen recommendation that @BKeyport recommended, but of course it didn’t fix the issue with MMM-Tools.

Do I have to go into the CSS of the actual module folder?

[sdetweil]

@matthewlawson3 u should be able to fix in custom.css once we figure out what the problem is

[sdetweil]

I don’t see the top left problem

[sdetweil]

and here is upper right , you can reduce the margin value…

its content will push things around… the regions are flexible, so they stretch to accomodate the content

[Matthewlawson3]

@sdetweil ok. Interesting you don’t have the same issue with top left. Could it be because I have MMM Tools above the calendar? Whereas yours seems to have the calendar above MMM TOOLS . Also, the clock module on mine is top center.

[sdetweil]

@matthewlawson3 yes, I can try flopping them around in the morning

@matthewlawson3 said in Need help resizing in vertical orientation:

Do I need to use the developer window in any way to help fix this?

probably

[Matthewlawson3]

@sdetweil ok. If you could check that that would be great.

I appreciate your help on this. Like I said, till I can get this figured out I have disabled MMM Tools. But I would like to get it fixed.

[sdetweil]

@matthewlawson3 looks ok

[Matthewlawson3]

@matthewlawson3

Hmm. I have 10 entries in the calendar with a total of 40 characters per line allowed. And clock is centered at the top with top center position whereas my calendar and MMM TOOLS are both set to top left with calendar below MMM TOOLS. Maybe all that is doing something. Idk.

Maybe I need to uninstall and and use git clone to reinstall MMM TOOLS and see what happens then.

[Matthewlawson3]

@sdetweil how do I reduce MMM TOOLS margin value?

[sdetweil]

@matthewlawson3 is it the tools margin or the mirror margin?

u can reduce the mirror margin, by changing the body margins from 60px to something smaller (even 0, altho that will allow the module content to be RIGHT against the edge)

whatever u change it to, you also have to adjust the fullscreen definition
it has 120px, which is 2 times 60 (top & bottom, or left and right)
this should be a calculation in my opinion… but I haven’t added it to any pull request

u can reset this in custom.css

[sdetweil]

@Matthewlawson3
edit the MMM-Tools/MMM-Tools.css and add in the .Tools section at the top

background-color: blue

like this

.Tools {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: flex-start;
  font-size:0.5em;
  line-height:1em;
  color:#EEE; 
  background-color: blue;
}

now you can see its space consumption

the left space is border, the top space is border and top bar I think

[Matthewlawson3]

@sdetweil thank you for this information. Been busy today.
