ALT not doing anything

@EricD yes electron changed the key behavior again. nothing we can do

I have a SmartiPi Touch 2 and a SmartiPi Touch Pro I want to install MM on with both focusing on weather and maybe an item based on user request.

Do you recommend going for the latest greatest Bookworm install or an older Pi OS version to build off of? I’m not averse to a learning experience but don’t want to beat my head on a cinderblock wall either.
I had the infamous magic smoke :dashing_away: come out of the Pi 4 on my Ender 3D Printer and thinking about doing a MM or two while new parts come for printer. Nothing like feeding the Pi 4B with 24V instead of 5V.
Melted my Logitech Mouse/Keyboard dongle.

@ankonaskiff17 those are just cases. just a pi underneath

I am running bookworm on my pi4 in the case w 7in touch screen display, and MagicMirror w no issues

It looks like nobody has posted a solution, but I posted a similar post months ago. Someone in there gave me the answer.

In MagicMirror/js/electron.js, change the line
electronOptionsDefaults.frame = false;
to
electronOptionsDefaults.frame = true;

Then add
electronOptionsDefaults.autoHideMenuBar = true;

If you’re using PM2 to load your mirror, you’ll have to stop and start PM2

@Fifteen15Studios if so, you can do this in config.js

electronOptions:{ frame: true, autoHideMenuBar:true},

note the trailing comma

before the modules:[ line
