regions...

I know the feeling
To keep up with the ‘mirror’ effect, I am wanting to surround the middle with a ‘frame’ of modules
Kinda like a monopoly game board with the middle or inside the properties being free of any modules to keep the mirror functioning as a mirror

Of course I am trying to make one with a 42" tv, rotated vertical, so I will have plenty of room at the top and bottom for more than one row of modules

My first idea, was to figure out how to show the modules in a frame around a working TV, without any interference to what is being watched. Which Is what I really want to be able to do!

@bkeyport

I don’t even really need modules on the sides, I have been paying attention a lot to how most tv I watch, which are movies, they almost always have a black area at the top and bottom of the screen. It’s getting the modules and the tv to display at the same time!

You don’t need to create new regions…just make your module width larger…

There is no need to create new regions when you can just ‘stack’ your modules and they will move automatically…

@cowboysdude
Moy sure I am following what you mean

@cowboysdude
the reasoning for our inquiry is to have more than 3 regions like in the top or bottom
I would like to have 5 (or more) modules side by side across the top or bottom

Stacking the modules? that is still 3 regions, but having modules on top of each other in each region, not side by side

cowboysdude

If you put more then one module in a region starting with the top of the config down will stack them in the region you put them in…

@cowboysdude he doesn’t want stack, he wants side by side

@cowboysdude
Just forget it. You don’t seem to be grasping the concept we are referring to.

I know you feel that I am just a dumbass

So, don’t anyone listen to me any more!

Geez!

Stacking is great, but for those of us that have landscape mode monitors, that becomes useless rather quickly. I’d rather have the modules sit next to each other.

My one mirror at home will go Portrait mode eventually, so the stacking will work… the one at work (due to a broken part) will always be landscape.

I love that (and you) if you find how to have 5 ragions on the same line, i need to display MM on my TV !
