@sdetweil Can’t you tell me exactly which line?
I have now entered it as shown in the picture but unfortunately it doesn’t work.

[sdetweil]

@drx1984 in between ANY line in that group… js is a name/value pair, so it doesn’t matter the order…

BUT you have the wrong values in portrait mode…

height is 1920, width is 1080

is it correct on the physical screen?

from the eletron doc

https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/browser-window

new BrowserWindow([options])
options BrowserWindowConstructorOptions (optional)
width Integer (optional) - Window's width in pixels. Default is 800.
height Integer (optional) - Window's height in pixels. Default is 600.
x Integer (optional) - (required if y is used) Window's left offset from screen. Default is to center the window.
y Integer (optional) - (required if x is used) Window's top offset from screen. Default is to center the window.
useContentSize boolean (optional) - The width and height would be used as web page's size, which means the actual window's size will include window frame's size and be slightly larger. Default is false.
center boolean (optional) - Show window in the center of the screen. Default is false.
minWidth Integer (optional) - Window's minimum width. Default is 0.
minHeight Integer (optional) - Window's minimum height. Default is 0.

@sdetweil yes, the resolution is as follows under system settings:
The monitor is a 24 inch/full HD and is set to portrait format.
then the values should be correct 1920x1080 right?

[sdetweil]

@drx1984 wider than taller (1920x1080) (w,h) is landscape mode

taller than wider (1080x1920) (w,h) is portrait mode

are you trying to do both at the same time?

landscape on physical screen and portrait over connection?

can’t do that, physical screen wins

[drx1984]

@sdetweil
Good morning,
So even if I set physical landscape format and restart the system, the MagicMirror doesn’t appear in full screen >> look at the photo I took on my cell phone without Anydesk access.

And I uploaded a video clip to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjiYQ21SoKI

And I entered the entry with: electronOptions:{width:xxxx, height:yyyy}:

Where else can the problem be?
Thanks for your help.

[sdetweil]

@drx1984 in the electronOptions add at the end

,fullScreen:true

note the leading comma, as this will be after the height:1080

[drx1984]

@sdetweil Is that what you mean>> electronOptions:{width:1920, height:1080, fullScreen:true}, ?

unfortunately nothing came of it

[sdetweil]

@drx1984 yes…

what OS is this

show results of

lsb_release -a
uname -a

also, stop MagicMirror and then delete the .config for Electron as before

then restart MagicMirror
