Try this stop MagicMirror
The erase the config folder

cd ~

Note the dot in front of config
Then restart MagicMirror

I switched to labwc on my pi4 (an existing MM installation) and now always when the screen turns on, after it turned off (MMM-Pir), the task bar is visible and MM is only maximized but not in full screen mode anymore.

With another monitor I do not have this issue. When I switch back to my normal monitor the problem persists. It is somehow hardware dependent.

I don’t think it was in their testcases

I switched to labwc on my pi4 (an existing MM installation) and now always when the screen turns on, after it turned off (MMM-Pir), the task bar is visible and MM is only maximized but not in full screen mode anymore.

I updated everything, but that didn’t help.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Best wishes,
Alex

info on labwc

Labwc, a Wayland window-stacking compositor, doesn’t have screen saver settings. However, you can configure Labwc to do other things, such as:
Set a shortcut to a launcher: Create a configuration file at ~/.config/labwc/rc.xml and add a entry.
Start a background-image client and a panel: Add the command to ~/.config/labwc/autostart.
Labwc is a lightweight compositor that stacks windows and renders some window decorations. It’s inspired by openbox and takes a simple approach, avoiding features like animations.

on pi those files are in

/etc/xdg/labwc/autostart
/etc/xdg/labwc/rc.xml
/etc/xdg/labwc/environment

none of that appears changed when setting screen dimming on in raspi-config
none of the script older settings are triggered
