im just diving into this project (mech eng with very limited programming experience)

i have the MM installed and running on my mac using terminal/electron. ive been in the config editing it and taking out stuff i dont want and added CalendarExt3 and have that working. im doing it on my mac for now waiting on my PI to come in the mail. from what ive read it will also speed up the editing phase vs pop it into the pi over and over.

im about to start digging into size/area/color/font/etc and have a combo of questions:

the picture posted in the start of this thread is very helpful for the zones. i want to run mine in landscape view. will those zones be the same in landscape vs portrait? i can’t tell if it is because i haven’t configured it properly for my monitors or if it needs to be adjusted (portrait to landscape). if so, is there another version of the same picture but in the other orientation?

sorry if these are self explanatory questions once i dive into it more just wanted to ask to help the process

@roth_nj The regions will be the same but obviously the sizes will be different

You can do the same color view by adding a background color to each one of the regions in custom CSS and then you can see where they are

thank you

thats actually a good idea. it will give me something to practice for setting up a custom CSS for the first time

is there a way to have something like the calendar on 2/3rd of the screen to look like the dakboard?

[sdetweil]

@roth_nj maybe if you use something like MMM-CalenderEXT3

[BKeyport]

@roth_nj yes. That’s begging for CalendarExt3 type functionality and a bit of heavy CSS.

that’s what I’m working on right now. have calendarext3 in and working. I have 2 of my 6 calendars set up (saving the rest for when I have the functionality I want). trying to get a photo background working atm. wanted to pull from my iPhotos but I seem to be hitting a snag. have it working out of the bing pics
