<![CDATA[More of a Smart Display than a Magic Mirror..]]>I have been using MagicMirror2 for over 3 years now!

I have it installed on a monitor in my living room. It’s more of a Smart Display, as I call it, than a magic mirror. The idea was to temporarily install it as a smart monitor until I received the mirror and proceed to install it as a magic mirror.

While searching the internet to buy a two way mirror, I came across the DakBoard. I loved it immediately. Easy to install and quite beautiful in appearance. But I didn’t like the fact that I had to pay for the full features and that I couldn’t interfere with the appearance of my screen at all.

So I decided to work on MagicMirror2…

And you can see the result!

It took many stages to get it to the form it is in and to consider it good enough to share it with you!

I changed quite a bit in the code of the modules, css etc. to bring it up to my standards.
In many parts, the code it’s not right, but it works…

Set the language to Greek throughout the program. Not just on the news!

that is for a reason ,all tech in our home is english speaking to encourage our 6 yo to use english language.

I thought it was the other way around… custom.css would load last and override previous. LIFO, effectively.

do NOT change our files… every config change can be done thus config.js and custom.css

all your changes to main.css can be done in custom.css

css is a stack , searched from the top down

custom.css on top
module provided  css 
main.css

first found wins.

so you could put all you main.css changes in custom.css

and some you could change other variables (border size etc) as we have added those things in the last couple releases… (so you don’t have to make such drastic changes)

but very cool

thanks for the repo

then someone could clone your fork instead of mm base, or you could submit a Pull Request to mm and have them consider your changes…

Thank you

Should I upload the changes to the file or just make it all a zip file?

can u categorize what u changed?

I don’t really know how to submit the changes I did.
Most of them are in the main.css, clock and weather modules. I also used the custom css for the weather icons and custom fonts…
