MMM-Touch or similar without visible module

[mmmmh]

I would like to add touch capabilities to my screen but I don’t want to have a visible module. MMM-Touch seems to require space on the screen. Can this be accomplished with MMM-Touch or another module?

Can a module be active, accept input from the whole screen but not be visible?

@mmmmh I do not know about doing g this w mmm-touch. it is possible. the module would have to be fullscreen_above and transparent content covering the screen.
it would have to forward the touch events to the modules element that is below the touch point

what do you want to do w touch? hardly any modules are touch enabled

@sdetweil I want to execute shell scripts to turn the screen on or off. The swipe gestures from MMM-Touch also look nice, but, as I wrote, MMM-Touch adds a visible module on the screen which I don’t want.

@mmmmh … well if it’s hidden then it’s not active so the swipe won’t work.
it could have a transparent div covering the screen

@sdetweil that’s the challenge, I need something that has no visible representation but is doing its job. I could experiment with custom regions and custom CSS. I have done this in the past but I am wondering if there is a cleaner way.

@MMRIZE said in MMM-Touch or similar without visible module:

Yes. I think this does it. In the beginning I thought it just disabled visual feedback but it seems it actually hides the module. I’ll test it some more and will come back.
