@Cato the touch feature isn’t THAT exciting to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_kCp1SO-BQ … the IR Touch Frame was ordered from Defi-Tech.com via AliExpress, i.e. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4-points-42-Infrared-Touch-Screen-frame-16-9-format-for-multi-touch-table-advertising-interactive/32582452717.html … the dimensions of the mirror where matched to that of the frame, and the display panel was centered behind it. Hope that helps :)

Ijon really did an absolutely incredible job :) I basically only gave him the technical parts and a VESA mounting bracket (http://www.pearl.de/a-PX2528-1256.shtml, with additional weight distribution via https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B008KL739C/) plus my idea of how it’s supposed to stack together, and he took it from there; creating CAD drawings, selecting and sourcing the wood after discussing the type with me, always keeping me in the loop while working on it. I really enjoyed the cooperation and can highly recommend him!

For reference, this is what it looked like before:

I have the same desire, as climate change has influenced the local weather notably.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_index shows the bands for notification, anything above and including 3 basically already recommends sunscreen for some skin types.

It would be good to have this information on-screen by default.

@berlincount oh, I’ve tested both master and develop branches, and any non-opaque backgroundColor gives bad redraws on clocks etc - but no transparent background …

Hi all,

I’m trying to “abuse” MagicMirror as an OSD for a video player.

For that, I want to have VLC play the video, and MagicMirror just lay on top of it.

Sadly, setting electronOptions.transparent to true and electronOptions.backgroundColor to “#0000” or “#00000000” doesn’t have the desired effect.

I’m on a RPi 3 and so far have just tested on an X with xsetroot -solid red instead of going full video player.

What might I be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

count

@Cato I hadn’t replaced them with MMM-Wunderlist yet ;)

@dnorthrupva what I did is look up the exact specs of the actual panel and used that. (well, almost - I added add Touchscreen frame in front of it, and used the dimensions of that, but the principle is the same - take the outer dimensions of your largest element …)

While it’s entirely feasible to replace CSS fully it would be nice to have the ability to switch between a set of CSS styles, which should be straightforward JS.

I’ve got a 42" MagicMirror, and would love to have the modules display inside a well-defined border along the edges - instead of free-floating somewhere in the display, which probably would require a few more fine-grained manipulation capabilities.

Thoughts? Should I just CSS the hell out of it, or does the module system need more work?

Hi!

I’m the one who filed https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/pull/484, which added single configuration options like window_x, window_y, window_height, etc …

MichMich’s recommendation was to use an array like

window: {
width: 1920,
height: 1080,
x: 0,
y: 0
}

… which as such would be fine, but horrible to override.

As the config-loading code uses Object.assign(defaults, config) to override defaults from the config, the whole Array would have to be given - even if only one option would be needed.

As it would be awesome to just take the whole Array passed to the BrowserWindow call, a generic way of overriding individual defaults Array entries (including unsetting some) from the config would be nice. I’m currently having trouble wrapping my head around this, so I’m reaching out :)

Ideas?
