I have changed all the line weights to bright with the exception on the modules headers, top of Calender with line under it, and top of weather forecast with line under it. I cant seem to find any where to change these. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Is there a news ticker module that works ? The New York Times and google RSS feeds only give headlines.

@cruunnerr thanks that did what I wanted

reloaded sd card, loaded MM, and clicked to use auto start during set up, now I cant get to pi gui to make any changes, it just starts mm full screen. How do I change it so I start it if i cant get behind it? only vnc is set on.

When I try to start the wake word I get this. Is there a way to reload or check the install of kitt_ai. Alexa works when using the onscreen button otherwise.

@doubleT Not on mine. I tried just refreshing the browser, then tried shutting down the browser and the txt box, opening another txt box and running MM. did nothing. Had to reboot the Pi, then run MM, and it will run. im running a pi2b. with 2.4ghz wifi. and use VNC to control. Might be different if I was local on the pi.

Is there a way to change the right and left margin size, I have about an inch and half on either side.

Im no coder or programmer, So I have been poking around in the code to see if I can make the mirror more readable, I have found that in the config.js and module js files there is some font settings. They say “small dimmed”, medium bright" and so forth. if you play around with these you can make the font bigger or smaller or brighter in each module.
A bit of warning, change one at a time. If you change something in config.js you need to reboot the Pi, if your change something in the module js then you just need to refresh the browser to see the new look.
Sometimes I have made a change and when I reboot, it comes to a point that it does a system check, dont get scared, let it happen, it will come to “Press Enter to Continue”. It will continue to load to the GUI. Then you can go back to that file and change back what you did.
There is also a fade setting I found, I think it was in the config.js, that changes the calender list to all one level of brightness, instead of the fade toward the bottom of the list.
My time and degree numbers are all set to “large bright” now so that I can see them further away. also the News Feed. Im running a 24" screen. So if you got something bigger then you may not need to set anything to large. You can just go with medium.
Good Luck

OK i retried it with all the ’ replaced with ", still nothing. When i restart it after saving the config, it startes with a disk chk, then continues. When I replaced with the ", it restarts, but when I try to run node serveronly, it says syntax error.

In the weather sections there is " on each end of the comment, but when I added the traffic modules there is ’ on each end, Now I get a syntax error message when I try to start magicmirror. Should the traffic modules be changed to " on each end? I copied everything from the modules page.
