@Mykle1 when handling false/true I don’t think you are supposed to use ’ ’ around it.
Should be handled like numbers.

@yawns Thanks!

For those who don’t want to install it, here is a link to show the animations :

Good step to add is to use vinyl something on the backside of the mirror where the screen isn’t visible to remove the light coming through from the back, this will give less distraction and a better reflection so it looks more lika a mirror and less like a tinted glass panel.

Give me about 20 years, then I’ll get back in to this thread ^_^

This will please many users! @wizz will love it I think ;)

I would suggest you merge the Pull request on github from fewieden to make it easier for people to change the video in the config file instead of altering the module code!

And, format your first post so it conforms to the showcase guidelines : https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1440/showcase-guidelines

(remove the spaces between the brackets to get the card to show up in your post)

@johnnyboy wouldn’t the visualization of how modules are place be equally as good with the sample config file that is included in the MM package?

It shows you what the format is, but yes a thorough explanation of why it looks like it does would probably help new users to avoid many configuration mistakes. But then again, showing others many different config files wouldn’t really help if they don’t understand why others config files work and theirs don’t.

I think there will be more issues copying and pasting other configurations if there is a lot of 3rd party modules in there. For an example all 3rd party modules that require other dependencies and need the user to do a npm install in the module folder. They might just to a git pull like the other modules and then they are confused why it didn’t work because they missed the read me file for the module.

I think it’s better if there was a educative way to explain the basics of why the config files look like they do, maybe someone can do a video explaining why. I think it was @strawberry-3-141 that perfectly explained the use of commas in lines with the shopping list reference.

Stuff like that would be great for the non-experienced users out there that wants to build their own mirrors!

Description:

This module will play a video file on your magicmirror, using the html video tag so the fileformats are limited to what the browser supports.

Use CSS to adjust size, placement etc etc.
Make sure the browser has autoplay enabled since the controls are hidden.

Version 0.1

Startupversion, nothing fancy.

Yeah, simple solution?
Add more light in the room where the mirror is.

Another solution is to change the mirror to one that lets less light through (this will obviously also affect everything else displayed on the monitor).

And third solution is to get an OLED display that doesn’t have the same backlight issues as normal LED TFT’s has.

@xy86 you have to get in to the magic mirror folder first before you can run npm start

Ie type
cd MagicMirror
And then
npm start

Or
display=:0 npm start
If you are running it via ssh

@foryas

.calendar {
Font-family : YourFont;
}

That would change the font for the module calendar

So yes it is legal. But if you make money of your mirrors you should consider at least donating some money to the project :

@JonoGee

Okey,
I see your problem.

You have put the .module.currentweather{} within the body{ }

Just remove the first line body { and the lonely } before .module.MMM-PushBulletNotifications {

Then it will work just fine.

And btw, You have a lot of stray }-brackets remove them aswell

@johnnyboy It will change the height/width of the module “container”, it will not affect the size of objects, images or fonts. Normally the module “container” will adapt to the size of it’s content. but with the width/height specified you force it to be a set width/height.

to get the cursor visible when MM is running add

html {
  cursor: default;

}

in the custom.css file (that can be found in the css folder)

And you can add

electronOptions : { autoHideMenuBar: false },

in the config file (place under the line that says “units”)

@Vauxdvihl

go to : https://rgbcolorcode.com/

There you can pick the color you want and then you use the codes to the right

instead of using the color names

color: red

You can use Hexadecimal

color: #FF0000

Or RGB

color: rgb(255,0,0)

or RGBA (if you want the text to be translucent)

color: rgba(255,0,0,0.8)

(you can use many more, but these will do you just fine)

Yes, using z-index on the modules you can arrange the layers.

Like

.MMM-Globe {
z-index: 2;
}

Will put the globe module above everyother module, you can also apply this to regions.

@ghaal this line cp config.js.sample config.js
Copys the sample config to the config.js file and should only be done once. If you do this everytime you start your mirror you will keep replacing your config.j s file with the sample config.
