@dathbe I am doing this with a forked module for Calvin and Hobbes. I’ve been updating it to fix some site related issues. It probably wouldn’t be very hard to modify the code for the FarSide URL, taking a look at the source of the page and pulling the correct element to get the image.

Figured I’d comment here for those that still use it or may want to.

The website updated the code and it broke the module. I created a new pull request to fix it. Not sure this will get merged into main, but given it’s a static module with no updates in 6 years, it’s pretty safe to just manually replace the code in your local module.

Otherwise, I have forked it here. Not planning on updating it unless it breaks again and even then it will be as time allows.

Hi!

Great module - wondering if we can adjust the transparency of the rain layer? It’s very much in your face, especially with a dark theme in a dark kitchen.

Thanks!

@sdetweil Why would I change back when my code works with the current version. General concept MM should be don’t require a crap ton of customization just to make it work. Making users who may want to use this switch to a different windowing system doesn’t really make sense. Especially since I’m sure RPi will eventually remove X11.

@sdetweil said in Touchscreen Family Dashboard:

did you change OS levels since it last appeared to work?

First time I’m using it is this week, so it would appear I’m using labwc.

All I know is that the old KeyPress module wasn’t working and doing a console debug in electron was showing no touchevents being sent, only pointer events.

I was having issues with the calendar swipe feature not working. The keypress would work fine though. Looks like the new version of Electron has removed touchevents and changed to pointerdown and pointerup.

I forked the original and made the changes: https://github.com/B3DTech/MMM-KeyPress

I’m looking at cleaning up code in the add event module to remove some of the hard-coded customizations in the original. They are very much customized to the original creator with family names and icons hard coded. For the most part, that isn’t needed in a general framework for just adding events.

I am also looking at merging the code into the latest version of MMM-CalendarExt3 since it’s so far behind now.

It’s a slow work in progress. If anyone else has some time and wants to help out let me know.
