The title seems to ignore the forced maxWidth. Is there any way to force the title to align to the body?!

I’ve had this issue before
try the developer view in a browser to see your options
the default settings doesn’t prohibit you

It didn’t accomplish what I wanted, but I can see you did send me down the right path. I’ll do some investigating some Custom CSS statements.

Thanks.

sometimes the module author provides an initial css file you can copy from to custom.css to make those adjustments.

It looks so tiny compared to the rest of my display

Try it with type: "selcted". That works for me.

Error code 500 indicates an error on the API. You can’t do anything about that. Do you use the latest version of the module? There was an update two weeks ago.

I’m getting an error message. Is this something that will fix itself?

I am using MMM-pages. Nothing in custom css created for this module specifically

Do you have any custom css or other modules that may be affecting it?

Default config, using single item view.

Is that happening as a list or as the single item view?

Just installed the module on my MM and it is working great. Thanks for this! The only thing that could be tweaked is, if using the bottom bar position, it will not be centered, but shifted to the left. Thus, I had to use the bottom center position.
