scaling gone wonky

@cyclonej correct, the calendar module supplied with MagicMirror.

i understand, just realize the author has stopped making updates, although he may be able to guide you.

cyclonej

I went ahead and installed Ext3. This looks just as bad as Ext2. The calendar is occupying the whole screen. I think something has gone arwy in MM. Normal websites look fine. Its just in the MM page that the calendar is too big and i guess the date/time and weather information seem larger/wider than they should be.

In case I forgot to mention earlier, I have my display in portrait orientation

@cyclonej Seems like a default screen resolution issue for me as some of the other modules are overlapping as well and they look unusually big. Suggest you try a different resolution setting and see if that resolves?

MMRIZE

@cyclonej
Show me the whole screen capture. And what resolution the screen has?

cyclonej

@MMRIZE

Currently 1024x768, maximum allowed.

@cyclonej horizontal/landscape mode, MagicMirror is designed for 1920x1080

so in portrait mode it should be 1080x1920

@sdetweil

I am marking this as solved. I think when I first booted up the Raspberry Pi, the resolution was 1920x1080. I am not sure what is preventing from going to that resolution now. That is where I will focus my troubleshooting.

Thanks all for the assistance.

I spent another couple hours trying things in the preferences, display settings, even tried to modify the /boot/config to no avail. I then reseated the HDMI cable and the OS started allowing resolutions up to 1920x1080. MM looks great again!

Thanks again everyone for your help.

@cyclonej always amazed at how the simple this cause so much trouble

After I got everything working nicely, I disconnected everything to move to the permanent installation location. Hung everything on kitchen wall, then reconnected everything and powered on… screen resolution stuck back on 1024x768.
