      Hi Everyone,

      I am an excited new user of MagicMirror but I am also a beginner. I have been able to get MM installed on my Windows Machine and successfully launched!

      However, I am running into issue with editing the config file. I use a text editor to make edits, run the config check to make sure there are no syntax errors, but when I launch the application, it shows the outputs from the original config file rather than the edits I have made to that same file.

      What am I doing wrong?

      All help much appreciated.

      Thanks

      Jon

        @sdetweil I was editing the sample. How embarrassing! I am away to the races now though :)

        Thanks so much for the rapid response.

          @jwin can you show me an example of a change?

          and the messages from npm start

          you ARE editing config.js, right
          after you created it by copying the sample
