@sdetweil thank you! that fix it. i needed quite a long time to remediate them haha

@sdetweil lol so dead. no idea what i changed in main.css and module css :(

@sdetweil hmmm, i have been editing in the module css instead of the custom css. any undesirable consequences? also, whats the button to press for refresh? i keep doing ctrl c and npm start for refresh.

THANK YOU both! the gap body code is exactly what i needed and bitvise helps a plenty!

Sam, do you mean i copy the code over from pi to pc > then simulate pc to run the mirror in dev mode and edit the css on the pc > then copy the css code from pc back to pi?

@MMRIZE thanks for that. It’s such a pain trying to figure out the css on the pi.

I’m currently in the midst of installing mm on my windows pc. And I will scp to copy all the modules and css to pc, then open dev and edit the css accordingly before using the pi and scp copy back the css file.

Is this the fastest and easiest way to go about doing this? If there’s a better route, do let me know.

@sdetweil perfect! Gona pre order a pi5 now.
Just to confirm, you are running pi4 with mmm google photo and mmm calext3 and smooth transition ya?

@Ivanov_d say 56*26?

@MMRIZE

here you go. red marking

@MMRIZE got the ical through official manu website :)

the ext3 is on my bottom bar. how do i flush them against the screen? no matter what setting i do, theres like a bezel portion gap between the screen and the calendar border.

same goes for extagenda3. i position it on top left but its not flush against the corner.

@sdetweil i turned off marquee but my google photo transition is still laggy.
does your pi4 transit well with google photo?

Hi @Jalibu

1. how do i change the stock name color?

2. i have the module as static on my top right. how do i shift the entire thing to the screen right?

Hi, couple of questions-

1. how do I get the soccer team news fixture into the calendar?

2. is is possible to not marquee the long text wording but “wrap” inside the cell?

Hi, is anyone currently using mmm Google photo and mmm calendarext3 and can confirm with me that using pi4 or pi5, you are not facing any issue with sluggishness and stuttering lag with the calendar marquee animation and photo transition?

I’m on a pi3b+ and it lags like in the 90s whereby images and text transit as though they are appearing frame by frame rather than a smooth motion. Am wondering if it’s worth upgrade the pi to get better results.

Not sure if sd card as well? I’m using a Samsung 32gb evo plus with the number 1 inside a U (not sure what that means tho)

Thanks.

So now I’m facing kinda my own dilemma here. Having uncovered that mirror shall not have background images, my wife is asking for the dashboard version over the mirror because she wanted our baby daughter photo to be in.

I have bought the ikea Ribba glass version for the mirror. But since it’s going dashboard, my issue here is that the glass has to be the same exact size as the monitor. Previously I was working under the impression that if I hide the small lcd behind a bigger mirror that is fine. But if I were to do a dashboard, my glass and lcd has to be the same exact size. My assumption correct?

Actually for dashboard, do people just frame around the lcd or do they use a plastic/glass?

And if so, any advice what I should proceed with next? I’m stuck with the following item:
24 inch monitor
IKEA ribba glass 50x70

Few options came to my mind.

1. ignore ribba, mount monitor to wall and use monitor as dashboard and call it a day.

2. custom made a whole new frame and glass/plastic to fit the monitor.

3. buy a lcd panel that is 50*70 to fit ribba.

4. put the lcd panel into the ribba glass. The excess putter space cover it with films or use the white cut out that’s included in the ribba.

Hmmmm

@MMRIZE thanks will do. Last question, what’s the spec of the 2 way mirror I should be looking for if I were to buy one? 3mm with 50% reflection?

Probably going to use and try it out first. So it’s true film only works in the day?

Does anybody know if the film only works in the day? My local supplier told me that it will only work as mirror in the day due to sunlight. Thoughts?

I don’t suppose the people put background images when building a mirror mirror? I only see background images for dashboard style. Those with mirror are more of text wording?

Any idea how it would be like with background images for mirror?

@sdetweil 1. thanks, i always thought its the back of the glass/plastic where the monitor goes into. just for clarity, lcd goes to the back of the glass/plastic then the other side of the glass/plastic (front facing human) is where the film is ya?

2. actual monitor size. im actually thinking of just chucking the entire monitor into the glass and wall mount it and be done with it based on what i seen online. i supposed alot of people are using a full glass/plastic/mirror but the lcd is a small section of the overall frame? hence the ‘digital’ section is just within the size of the lcd panel.

Theres something i dont quite get is assuming the film at the front. the font is where you see the mirror and cant see whats beneath (so if i attached the entire monitor behind it, the bezel cannot be seen). Then in this instance, since whatever is behind cant be seen, how does the lcd showcase the wording outwards?

yes i actually did. i did see some wire connector and some cpu board (i think its specifically for laptop? not sure).

hi all
im finally thinking of building a mirror and i really need some guidance here as this is really not my expertise.

i noticed back in the days, people are using ikea ribba photo frame because the front is made of glass instead of plastic (now). I am trying to source in my market if theres a used glass ribba, thereafter, install a flim to it.

Lets assume the above is not possible, i may potentially ask a vendor to custom make a 2 way mirror frame.

the monitor i have is philips 243v7qjab.

i have some questions here:

1. if i go the film route, where should the film be installed? in front of the glass or behind? and the monitor screen goes behind the glass directly and ill have to glue the glass to the lcd panel?
2. based on past thread, people are buy 50x70 ribba. but my 24inch monitor goes around 53x32. this would not fit the ribba directly. i see alot of video indicating that the panel and glass has to be the same measurement. so how does this work?
3. any special tools equipment that i need?
