@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:

@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?
