@nischi - Aha! I was wondering what those things were. Now I understand.

RE: Portrait Mode
@johnnyboy said in Portrait Mode:
Not sure why, but my preferences show exactly the same options as Strech did… there is no Screen Configuration.
Yeah, that’s a puzzler. Let me do some research and see if I can’t figure out what’s going on. It’s possible that I forgot a step. How embarassing.

Magic Mirror Basics, part 2: Modifying your mirror
You’ve already done this a bit, but I want to expand upon modifying the behavior of your Magic Mirror. The vast majority of the time, you will be able to change the behavior of your magic mirror to your will by doing two things:
- Installing modules in the
/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules
folder - Modifying the
config.js
file.
You’ve already taken a crack at modifying the
config.js
file. You’ve changed the default compliments to include your wife’s name. That’s pretty much half of the journey right there. The compliments and calendar modules are included with the basic magic mirror framework, so you don’t need to add those modules separately. Adding the modules developed by the community is only slightly more involved.The basic steps to adding a third-party module are:
- clone the module into the
/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules
folder - run the installation script, if necessary
- edit the
config.js
file to tell the magic mirror framework to look for the new module.
The only complex part of the process is that the section of the
config.js
file for the new module isn’t included in the default file, so you’ll have to add it from scratch. It’s not terribly difficult and theread.me
file in each module should give you an example of the relevant code to copy into theconfig.js
file. - Installing modules in the

RE: Considering taking donations to support the MagicMirror project. Interested in your thoughts!
I’m currently working on my 4th mirror and I have plans for two more. I have gotten so much out of @MichMich’s original idea. I would love to donate some cashy money to help him keep this idea flourishing.
Additionally, I trust Mich to use collected funds for the project appropriately.

RE: Here is my 14 X 18 Mirror
That’s pretty cool. Do you have a wider shot so we can see all of the frame? And do you have a shot of the back? I’m curious as to how you mounted your components.

RE: What's the best way to block out area of mirror that doesn't have a monitor behind it?
I use black construction paper and tape it to the back of the glass. It sounds like the challenge is to get the paper attached without visible adhesive.
You might be able to use a spray adhesive. There are a couple types that are designed for attaching wood laminate. A light & even coat could work. You would have complete blackout with the paper instead of additional reduction in transmission like you would with the window foil.

RE: Transparent displays
Indeed! The existing modular framework is perfect for quick customizable dashboards. A heads-up display for the home. If you could build one over your existing window it would be a fun way to look outside and still get your information.
Now we just have to hope the price is within reach.

Done and done. I did get the initial prompt in Dutch, but I was able to figure it out. Once I logged into PayPal, everything switched to English.

RE: warning warning , new os images today Oct 11
The install script worked okay on Armbian 23.8.1 (Bookworm). PM2 install worked great. Screensaver disable didn’t work the first time but after a manual configuration to auto-boot into the user and then a couple of boots it seems to be doing well.
