Layout for Photos at top, calendar at bottom

kochb1988

Hello. I’m trying to repeat the layout for the Dakboard (Dkb) in Portrait mode. The person that I’m doing this for likes the simplicity of Dkb with the Big Calendar at the bottom, but it takes hours to show a calendar update (Free version). Anyway, I’ve demonstrated the MM with Google calendar and the refresh times. Now, I’m going thru the module layout trying to push a photo slideshow (from Bing) to the top taking the top quarter to third of the top of the screen. Then, time and weather side by side below that. Then, a large calendar below that with a black background in that area. What picture module will allow me will allow a large picture at the top? OR, is the Module layout for Top_center the best choice?

And to position the time and weather: Will it be easier to reposition those modules by editing their css’s to move them down to the bottom of the photo?

Does any of the Google calendar modules provide for editing from the MM?

I know I’m asking a lot in one post. I appreciate any answer that helps. I’m still searching thru the forums. Thank you.

@kochb1988 magicmirror has predefined areas
see
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/286/regions?_=1701782633212

defined in css/main.css

you can add a background color to each region in custom.css to see where they are on the portrait screen

so you may have to fiddle with css to get the kind of layout you want…
left/center/right only exist in top or bottom,

note that the module positions match this definition and are not readily customizable
they are hard coded in js/main.js
