      Got the repository installed correctly and I’m seeing your wooden background… I’ve tried dragging in a .gif and a jpeg into the images file and changing the name in the configs, but it is still not loading properly. Suggestions?

      Thanks so much by the way. This would have taken so much blood sweat and tears on my end to get this far.

        • Verify that the files you dragged into the ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-EasyBack/images folder are actually there.

        • Verify your donfig entry contains the exact spelling of the picture file being used

        post your config entry here

          Hey sorry, I’ve been away for a bit. Yes, it looks like the .gif is in the image file. Config entry looks right as well. See below…

          {
          module: ‘MMM-EasyBack’,
          position: ‘fullscreen_below’,
          config: {
          bgName: “Dreamdash.gif”, // the file name of your background image (case sensitive)
          maxWidth: “100%”,
          }
          },

            So I am seeing that the Example.jpeg image is still appearing even after I remove it from the folder. Am I doing something incorrect?

              Okay, I’m an idiot. It was in the wrong file. I think it was from when I tried to install the module incorrectly from before. Thank you so much for all the help. I seriously could not have done this without your help!
