@Didge https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/166/eof-s-touch-screen-magic-mirror-testing-phase/1

This is a work in progress, but I had posted here before about how capcitive based touchscreens will not work for this, so I wanted to show my success with a resisitve based one.

This is a touch screen panel kit, over a normal LCD monitor. I got this one for about $60 from AliExpress. Mirror Film was used over top of the panel.

I didn’t spend a whole lot of time making it look nice, so it’s not perfect right now. I plan to cut the excess mirror film on the sides off or hide them in an enclosure later down the road.

But for anyone thinking about making a touch screen mirror, this works!

@paviro I looked at that as an option, but I don’t really want to go messing with the core modules. I think it would be better to have a new module almost like a “modification” to the core news module.

As a follow up to this, I have not figured anything out. Not sure how to communicate with the other modules yet. I think you’d have to do that in this case. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to help with this one.

@RedNax Very simple example :p

Edit: I also did not use position: relative / position: absolute for this. I’m not sure, but that might be an even better way to go.

Also, I have no idea if this works like I planned in any other browser. I use chrome, so meh.

Personally, I wouldn’t use a table for this. I would use divs and CSS styling to get what you want. Could even have a parent div (in place of table .small) and make it relative then absolute position your children if you’d like.

As far as your current structure, what is the name of the icon that you want moved? fa-tree? I can’t tell what that is supposed to be.

Hi. What is in the log file referenced? That may help us to determine what’s going on.

Also I haven’t tried to run MM on linux yet, only windows, so I might be wrong on this part but you might have to have electron installed.

@mattlugar Ah I see. So scrolling from side to side? I’ll tinker with it a bit.

Could you elaborate on what you mean?

@Didge I am buying a touch screen panel kit, it’s a 21.5 inch one. Unfortunately, they seem to only make these things in China so I have to wait a while before I get it. I ordered it about a week ago.

This is pretty close to exactly what I ordered.

I ordered from Ali Express though, which I’ve never used before. I was able to find one on there for ~$60 (and free shipping).
