      how or if you can use css for that

      maybe… depends on the module

        @sdetweil any ideas on this one just showed up…It asked me that npm needed major update now it doesn’t work

        C:\Users\Svale\MagicMirror>npm start
        
        > magicmirror@2.18.0 start
        > ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

        operable program or batch file.

          yes, you cannot have the ./ in front… windows doesn’t understand that …

                        electron js\electron.js

                        u still have it wrong

                        “node_modules/.bin/electron electron.js”

                        electron is not in the path, so you have to give it the path to the executable

                        once again different versions of node and npm require slightly different solutions…
                        this is not an MM problem… they keep messing it up (in my opinion)

                              @sdetweil the only thing that isn’t working now is when I run npm init-y in each module folder the module in the dev window is still asking for replace instead of request
