For anyone interested in the future, an elegant solution that worked for me :
custom.css:
#remote-control-overlay {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
Where the key is to add top: 0; left: 0; to the #remote-control-overlay. The rest is already in the module’s remote-control.css file.
Hello guys,
Sorry to revive this topic, but I have the same problem, and I am looking for the most elegant solution for it
A margin setting like this is kind of messing up my layout, and I really like how the default is looking like:
body {
margin: 0px;
position: absolute;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
Thank you so much… :)
@sdetweil Ah I cannot believe. I just noticed that address: "::" was probably blocking the electron instance out… and everything is works as it should with address: "0.0.0.0"
@sdetweil Nothing seems to work… What about GPU memory? Some advise to increase it, however, others say that it’s not relevant from Raspi 4 (that is why it’s taken out from raspi-config)
@sdetweil Unfortunately it looks like the raspberry.sh script couldn’t solve the problem

I see however that has its own ways install node and npm. Do you have any guess what configuration I could change on my OS?
@sdetweil Wow… sorry for my confusion, it’s the first time I see this repo. Looks great, with a really good documentation!! Let me try and come back to you!!
Can you tell me the best way of install node/npm from scratch? Right now, on any fresh install, if I install nodejs with apt, I get version 22.
@sdetweil
Sorry, not sure what you mean. On any fresh install, if I install nodejs with apt, I get v22. Shall I install node v20 instead?
Hello everyone,

I tried so many things, like using different drivers (vc4-kms-v3d, vc4-fkms-v3d),
reinstalling Electron within the MagicMirror directory with npm, adding disable-gpu as ElectronSwitch, setting envvars like ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1, ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=0 but none of them had any effect.
The GUI opens on the 8080 port, only the Raspberry’s display is all black right now.
