@sdetweil OK, the issue was that I used this
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/magicmirror
It’s 2.22 and I’m not sure how it works.
I installed normally from git now and it works, and also the “wallpaper” code works for me.
Thank you for your help.
Now I will try to configure this.
Newbie here. I am looking for a module to show things like disk usage, memory usage, current CPU usage, internet traffic. Things that conky shows.
I found this https://github.com/BenRoe/MMM-SystemStats but it doesn’t work for me. It’s 5 years old so that’s not surprising.
Are there any modules that do this type of thing?

@sdetweil The issue here is indeed something with the install. The app appears to run, but it did not create a config file for me.
So I copied the one from https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/blob/master/config/config.js.sample and also added the lines as above and launched it again, but it’s the same.
It’s supposed to be in
~/MagicMirror/config/config.js
apparently, and that’s where mine is.
But if I rename that file, I get the same results. So I think it’s not picking up that config file at all.
Perhaps I should install from the repo instead of using Arch’s build?
Here’s the whole file. I don’t know yet what else to put in. Just trying to get started:
// in your config.js add these lines.
electronOptions: {
width: 1920,
height: 1200,
fullscreen: false,
backgroundColor: '#00000000',
titleBarStyle: 'none',
frame: false,
type: 'desktop',
hasShadow: false,
transparent: true,
resizable: false,
},
electronSwitches: ["enable-transparent-visuals"],
@sdetweil Yes, that’s where I got my code, but I don’t think it’s using that.
Yes, I also just figured out it’s already running.
When I launch it in my Mate desktop, it covers all the windows and also the panel on one of my monitors. It’s not in the background at all.
Here is the valid CLI output:

Thank you.
I installed from the Arch Linux repos, but it did not create ~/MagicMirror/ directory. When I first launched magicmirror, it worked, but it took over my entire screen. :)
What I want is for it to be like wallpaper, and show me things like disk space, and memory and CPU usage. Here is what I see in CLI:

Any advice how to get started is appreciated.
