Thanks! The manual install did the trick for me.

The Operating System is linux.
MagicMirror is just an application that runs on linux.
The application itself is electron, which It’s basically just a web browser.
So, when you look at your mirror, you are just looking at a webpage with a bunch of components.
Those components are written in JavaScript.

@sdetweil What I kept trying to do is get node and npm updated, but I royally screwed things up where nothing is working anymore. I can’t use the PM2 command to start and stop things or see the status. So, I just nuked the SD card and am starting from scratch. I will use your scripts.

Would it be possible to combine the calendar color indicator at the time using just CSS?

Right now, it’s a colored circle and the time next to it and I was wondering if it would somehow be possible to have the time be inside the circle, or have the time be a different background color.

My display is quite small, and saving a few extra pixels would be nice.

Thanks, I ended up doing this in my custom.css

#module_4_MMM-CalendarExt3
{
    margin-left: -40px;
    margin-right: -40px;
}

It doesn’t seem like the best approach, but it works.

I am using MMM-CalendarExt3 with some fairly limited width. I’d like to remove any margins from it and have it go from edge to edge. In the past, I did this using custom.css, but it seemed hacky. I just tried setting the position to “fullscreen_below” and it removed the margins, but it’s sitting at the very top of the screen. How do I make it appear at the bottom of my screen with no margins or padding?

If you were to build a magic mirror from scratch, what display technology would you pick? My MagicMirror is running on an old LCD TV with a two way mirror in front of it and the glare make it almost unreadable during the day.

If I were to rebuild it, what kind of a TV should I use to make it easier to read during the day?

@sdetweil really appreciate your support on this!

@sdetweil That did it. Thank you so much. I spent two hours this morning trying to fix this.
How did you know that this was an issue? I need to get better at learning how to troubleshoot this mirror myself.

@sdetweil ok, that makes sense.

My issue is really strange where my two recurring weekly events only show up during the first two weeks of the month, and are ignored the rest of the time until the next month. I even tested installed thunderbird to open the ICS file to check that the issue isn’t with google calendar. Thunderbird displays the recurring events just fine.

It’s making me think if I should hack together some kind a pre-processor to only return events that are relevant to the view.

@sdetweil, would you mind sharing how you set up a filter for the events? I have a suspicion that too many events are causing some items to now show up on calendar.

My current MagicMirror is an old 40" LCD TV. It’s positioned in area that get a lot of light and is quite hard to read. I am considering rebuilding it with something might brighter. What TV would recommend? Something around 55" would be fantastic.

@sdetweil yeah, i probably just did a git pull
