@sdetweil thank you for this information. Been busy today.

@sdetweil how do I reduce MMM TOOLS margin value?

@matthewlawson3

Hmm. I have 10 entries in the calendar with a total of 40 characters per line allowed. And clock is centered at the top with top center position whereas my calendar and MMM TOOLS are both set to top left with calendar below MMM TOOLS. Maybe all that is doing something. Idk.

Maybe I need to uninstall and and use git clone to reinstall MMM TOOLS and see what happens then.

@sdetweil ok. If you could check that that would be great.

I appreciate your help on this. Like I said, till I can get this figured out I have disabled MMM Tools. But I would like to get it fixed.

@sdetweil ok. Interesting you don’t have the same issue with top left. Could it be because I have MMM Tools above the calendar? Whereas yours seems to have the calendar above MMM TOOLS . Also, the clock module on mine is top center.

@sdetweil I tried the full screen recommendation that @BKeyport recommended, but of course it didn’t fix the issue with MMM-Tools.

Do I have to go into the CSS of the actual module folder?

@sdetweil Oh okay.

@sdetweil Anything you can recommend for me to get it to behave? Something I could do in the custom.css?

@sdetweil ahh that is MMM Tools. Since MMM Tools and the calendar are in the top left position this is how they end up. I like the calendar where it is. But the MMM Tools is pushed over to the right in this set up. Without the calendar, MMM Tools moves back to the left and out of the way.

@sdetweil Sorry. I have the green background and can see the border btw. Pictures are below of what it looks like normally. The MMM Tools is module is set for top left position and the calendar is too. The Bible module is set for bottom right position.

@sdetweil Thank you. So when I can see the borders, I would assume I have to adjust the border size and make it smaller?

Below are some pictures of the MMM Tools issue and the BibleGateway issue where they are invading the space of the other modules. I need MMM Tools to fill that gap on the left and the BibleGateway module to get back to the right side.

@sdetweil so I just copy the contents of main.css into a new file called custom.css? Then I modify custom.css and that should show when I run the MM? Or does that custom.css have to be renamed to main.css and the original main.css renamed to something else while testing?

@sdetweil okay. I’ve never modified anything CSS. Sounds like I am modifying code like that that is used for a webpage. A few questions…

Where is the main.css and custom.css located?

You are saying make a copy of the original main.css and I then modify the original main.css? I assume if something goes wrong that I can then copy back in place the copy of the original main.css to get everything back to normal.

What do I use custom.css for?

Thanks and forgive my ignorance on this!

@sdetweil okay I’ve read through some of what you posted. So I’m trying to get to the developer window to remove or modify certain regions on screen?

Hi, I have been working on my magic mirror and everything is working great! Today I flipped the orientation of the mirror to vertical. Most of the modules that I have work great in the vertical orientation, however, a few, like MMM Tools and the Bible Gateway module that shows a Bible verse stretches out too far toward the center and covers up another module.

The MMM Tools is set for top left, but it does not appear flush top left, it is closer to the clock module that is top center. How can I move MMM Tools more to the left? Or how can I make modules in general more flushed to the edge of the screen?

The Bible Gateway module is set for bottom right and runs into the default news module set for bottom center position.

I am new to the Magic Mirror so any help would be appreciated !

@sdetweil Edit: I believe I got the default news module to work. I apparently was missing some brackets around some of the source urls and that I think made the module not see the other sources.

@sdetweil Oh okay. The last code I posted is actually from the default news module, not the news ticker I was working on.

I was trying the default one and it keeps repeating the same source over and over as well. It doesn’t go on to any of the other sources. It just repeats BBC for 10 minutes.

I switched out BBC and added in a CNET RSS feed and it hangs on CNET now.

Just for the heck of it I removed the code and module of the NewsTicker we have been discussing since the beginning of this post. Didn’t have any effect either.

@sdetweil okay. That’s surprising considering it is the default news module for MM. I’ll find another option.

@sdetweil so you think perhaps the BBC headlines are the latest?

I commented out the other news ticker we were discussing. Do you think it might be causing an issue? Should I uninstall?

@sdetweil @cowboysdude I am beginning to think I have something wrong with my code or that there is something wrong with my instance of MM. I went back to the default news module and added BBC, USA Today, and Fox News to the list and all I see displaying are BBC headlines. Now when I comment out BBC, Fox News will show. Odd. Can you see if you can see anything in my code? I have no idea what is going on. It has been on for 10 minutes and never leaves BBC.
