      @mrdger sorry, not quite sure I understand

      said it goes full screen, yes that is what its supposed to do

      but shows the same thing in each location

      eh? what does that mean? if its full screen then what is location?

      try this , maybe,

      stop magicMirror

      cd ~
      rm -rf .config/electron
      

      note the . in front of config
      restart MagicMirror

        @sdetweil Thanks for the response. Yes I do want it full screen, my apologies, I just meant that it wasn’t displaying properly when in full screen.

        I followed your instructions, and this is what I am currently getting

          @mrdger what OS is this? on what hardware? PI? is that view on the screen attached to hardware, or over VNC?

          can u do, from the commandline while MM is running

          ps -ef | grep -i magicmirror
          

          you should get a list of things…

            @sdetweil The screen is attached to the hardware and is intended to be the screen I will be using for the project. It’s a Pi 4

              @mrdger ok, stop MagicMirror again

              and then do

              rm -rf ~/.config/Electron
              

              then restart mm

                Followed your instructions again. This came up. The repeated forecast doesn’t seem to change, but the two bigger texts were popping up and changing.

                  did u get any output from the command? should not have

                  I assume you had a good desktop after boot… with the temples…

                  how did you install MM? manual or scripted?

                    @sdetweil Correct, didn’t get any output. I did it manually, maybe try reinstalling?

                        Completed the steps you outlined. Moved the directory and then ran the install script your provided. Looks like a similar problem is still popping up. The 2nd image is fullscreen screenshot with the 1st showing an example of how it changes if the size of the window is changed.
