@hnperkins

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

@hnperkins said in Display Help:

}

I believe this should be

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

I don’t know about the other.

@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

@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

@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.

@hnperkins

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