    • RE: Need help resizing in vertical orientation

      @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.

    • RE: Need help resizing in vertical orientation

      @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?

    • RE: Need help resizing in vertical orientation

      @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?

    • Need help resizing in vertical orientation

      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 !

    • RE: MMM - NewsFeed Ticker Hangs

      @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.

    • RE: MMM - NewsFeed Ticker Hangs

      @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.

    • RE: MMM - NewsFeed Ticker Hangs

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

    • RE: MMM - NewsFeed Ticker Hangs

      @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?

    • RE: MMM - NewsFeed Ticker Hangs

      @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.

      {
      			module: "newsfeed",
      			position: "bottom_bar",
      			config: {
      				maxNewsItems: 0,
      				feeds: [
      					{
      					title: "New York Times",
      					url: "https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml",
      					title: "USA Today",
      					url: "http://rssfeeds.usatoday.com/UsatodaycomNation-TopStories",
      					title: "Fox News",
      					url: "http://feeds.foxnews.com/foxnews/latest",
      					title: "BBC",
      					url: "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/rss.xml#"
      					
      	
      				}
      			],
      				showSourceTitle: true,
      				showPublishDate: true,
      				broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
      				broadcastNewsUpdates: true
      
      			}
      		},
