Are you using a Pi?
What resolution are you set to?
Have you made any changes to any MM system files?

hnperkins

yes i am using a pi2b i’ve tried the custom css with

body {
   margin: 1px;
  height: calc(100% - 1px);
  width: calc(100% - 1px);
}

i tried multiple margin sizes and height and width but it never comes down any further than what is in that screen shot

i have

disable_overscan=1
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=16

and my resolution is forced set to 1920x1080 60hz 16:9 after doing a
tvservice -d edid

I believe this should be

body {
  margin: 1px;
  height: calc(100% - 2px);
  width: calc(100% - 2px);
}

I don’t know about the other.

hnperkins

@Mykle1 ok i will try that and see if it makes a difference. Could it be in the main.css? i just dont under stand why it wants to stay in the upper 1/4 of the monitor

Mykle1

@hnperkins

No, that belongs in the custom.css file. You should not be editing the main.css file unless you absolutely know what you are doing. That’s why I asked if you made any changes to the MM system files.

hnperkins

@Mykle1 ok i see what you are saying. no i’ve not edited it. looked at it but not made changes. just the custom

Mykle1

@hnperkins

Someone will know how to solve your issue. I’m sure of it.

hnperkins

@Mykle1 hah i hope so, i’ve been going at this for about 3 hours now. not just the resolution issue but configuring modules and what not.

Mykle1

@hnperkins

Be patient. Someone will help you when they find this topic. Take your time with the modules. It gets easier with time

Just curious. Have you tried without this?

hnperkins

@Mykle1 yeah originally i just a clean boot and left everything stock from the install of noobs, that was just one of the things i had found to try via searching the forums and google

Mykle1

@hnperkins

ok, cool. And the custom res was because Raspbian did not support your res? Was there a res close to what you wanted?

hnperkins

@Mykle1 no i just tried the custom because on first boot it was exactly how it is in the picture so i tried the custom and nothing changed. i just tried again with an empty custom and its still doing the same thing. almost tempted to start all over from fresh

Mykle1

@hnperkins

Did you change the res in the raspi config at all?

hnperkins

@Mykle1 yeah i tried that before i edited the hdmi settings in the config.txt

stacywebb

Just out of curiosity have you checked the settings on the actual monitor itself?
I’ve had to adjust the settings on the monitor itself to achieve the desired resolution.
Sometimes cycling between Wide - Normal - Full can make all the difference.
You may need to reboot you pi after the changes (unless it detects automatically).

hnperkins

@stacywebb i got it working finally. i ended up just reformatting the card and redoing everything from scratch. its now properly displaying but now having issues with a few modules lol

Mykle1

@hnperkins

Ok, well that’s good news.

What modules and what problems are you having?

hnperkins

@Mykle1 getting the mmm-pir-sensor to work right which might not be a module issue at all and then awesome alexa which is an amazon issue, not matter what i try i am unable to get a refresh token, i can get the access token using different methods i have found here but not the refresh token

Mykle1

@hnperkins

Ah, well, I don’t use either of those modules but plenty of people do. You can do a search on the forum and/or post a new question and I’m sure you’ll get some help.

Glad you solved the display issue
