@broberg It does work but it shows the blue bar which makes it look bad and untidy. I can hide it but I turn my mirror off every night (to save power) and when it’s turned on, it comes back again. Is there a way to maybe get rig of the blue bar permanently? Or even still have the MM fully maximised and have the taskbar shown over the top?

Thanks

@broberg Is there a way I don’t have to minimize the mirror and still be able to access the taskbar?

@Anhalter42 No, I’d like the mirror to stay fullscreen but the top taskbar menu to stay over the top and have a nice and polished look rather than go to the desktop to access it.

I’d like to set the mirror so you can see the taskbar over the mirror so I can access it more easily.

Thanks in advance!

@broberg thanks, just tried it now and it works. Thanks for the help!

@broberg Hi Broburg,

Thanks for the comment, when I applied your code you gave me, the cursor worked but there isn’t anywhere in either of the css files with a line that says unit.

Sorry if there answer is clear to you but not me, I’m not really good with all this.

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

I am a real noob when it comes to this sort of stuff.
With that being said, I’d like for the top panel to show through the MagicMirror program so I can access it easily without having to exit the MagicMirror itself.

I have (almost) tried everything under the sun to show but when I start up the MagicMirror, it wont show.

Also, I can’t use the mouse when on the MagicMirror. When I am on desktop, it autohides when inactive but it wont show at all when on MagicMirror.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

So I’m a real noob at this so please bear with me. I’m requesting a module to be made where if the mirror isn’t connected to the internet, it will display a page telling you to connect to the internet, choose a network and enter your password.

With this mirror, I like to keep things simple so when I want to change networks, I don’t want to take the whole frame (one piece in my case) apart to connect a mouse into it. I can connect a bluetooth keyboard to the Raspberri pi and type the password with the keyboard.

I know that I can connect a bluetooth mouse to the Raspberri Pi but I’d don’t want to have to open up the terminal to get to the main screen just to change networks.

Thank you for any help, it will be really appreciated.

@Mykle1 Hi there, thanks for the time you took to reply.

I did as you have written in your own instructions and when I try to configure my mirror through the read me file, it still won’t work. I am not sure what is happening. I am trying to start off by adding an analog clock instead of digital but it will not let me for the life of me. The trouble is that I know that I can change the file and make it work because I can tried changing the clock to sit on the right side instead of the left and it works.

I am a noob but this is really frustrating me. Thanks for helping.

Hi guys, to start, I’d like to say that I am not experienced with this stuff in any sort of way so whatever is explained to me would have to be in the simplest way possible.

Ok, so I have gotten up to the step where I get to customise how I want my mirror to look. I have tried many times but failed. It says in the tutorial that I have to ‘Duplicate config/config.js.sample to config/config.js’ but I don’t know what that means. When I enter ‘config/config.js.sample’ to the terminal while under the ‘cd ~/MagicMirror’ directory, it says permission denied. I don’t know what this means and I don’t know a way around it.

Could someone please explain to me how to customise my mirror? I have been stuck on this for over 2 weeks. Thanks!

@lolobyte it says "config.js config.js.sample config.js.save

@Snille When I put in the line “cd MagicMirror/config” it allows me to enter commands from the Magic Mirror (as it should) but then when I add the line “cp config.js.sample config.js” it only returns to the next line.
Before, I was trying to add configurations to the sample config but to get to that, I was entering “nano config.js” from the Magic Mirror instead from the pi.
From your last message, I thought that I needed to copy the code from the sample config and paste it into “nano config.js” but from the pi.
Am I doing this right? I am very lost, Thanks

@Snille Do I have to delete the sample configuration somehow? I copied and pasted what was in the sample configuration file to the “nano config.js” but no when I add any changes it won’t show them but instead the config from the sample. Should I delete it?

Thanks in advance

@lolobyte I keep seeing that step config.js.sample but I have no idea what it means. I don’t know how to execute it because it keeps coming back with “command not found”

Hi, I am new to coding and electronics in general so please excuse me if I get anything wrong in my wording (I am also a little new to this forum so I am not sure if this is the right section to put this in).

So basically, I have trouble trying to configure my mirror. I am following each step carefully but even after re-flashing my SD card twice, I am getting stuck at the same step. Whenever I try to change anything in my mirror it says that I need to add a configuration file or to correct it because it might be wrong. So now I am stuck with the default mirror that I use and can’t even change the timezone. I can add in a weather API for weather forecast but not anything else.

This is the line I use to put into the terminal to change my configurations:

cd MagicMirror/config
nano config.js

And this is the code that I have:

            {
                    module: 'clock',
                    position: 'top_left'
                    config: {
                            displayType: 'both',
                            analogSize: '150px',
                            analogFace: 'face-005',
                            analogPlacement: 'left'
                    }
            },

@in_a_days How do I change some of these settings (It looks confusing to me and I’m not sure if there is more to change than just the city name in weather for example)

@in_a_days Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you

@in_a_days So I did what @bhepler had written and now works on boot! Now I can’t access the terminal to add some configurations? How do I get around this?
