<![CDATA[New windows, NOT full size]]>Hi
I am working on a MagicMirror with touch. Therefore I inserted the following code into the getDom function in the newsfeed module, in order to add a link to the news, so a new browser window will open and i can read the whole news in a browserwindow.

			var url = this.newsItems[this.activeItem].url;
			wrapper.addEventListener("click", function () {				
				window.open(url,'popUpWindow','height=500,width=500');
            });
return wrapper;

This works perfect when I run it in my browser (node serveronly), but when I run it normally (npm start), then the new browser window is full size, and therefore the top bare is missing, and the windows cannot be closed again. Is there anyway, to make sure that the new browser windows is not full size when it opens?

If main Electron MagicMIrrror app is starter in FullScreen Mode, without menu bar, etc… I think is not possible -maybe yes- create a new window with these attributes and not full screen.

Please can you check this
https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/window-open.md

Also, by a way is necessary set the Node Integration

I still want the MagicMirror window to to be fullscreen. I would just like to be able of opening a window that is not full screen.
Or have i misunderstood the electronOptions?

That way you could still have a lot of the other modules visible as well and you could put a timer on it so if you don’t close it it closes itself.
