    • RE: MagicMirror on a 4k TV

      Thanks @Mykle and @sdetweil. So far my experience with the zoom option, you can zoom in, but you can never zoom out. I tried both 1 and 0 as zoom settings and it never went down. I was able to connect a keyboard and adjust it that way.

      I’ve downloaded the css file @sdetweil linked that’s based on screen percentage. I’ll play with it this weekend. I understand this only adjusts the text fonts and not icons. I assume I can adjusts the icons in the module itself. The only modules I’m using that have icons are the weather ones.

      One unrelated observation, I can’t restart mm with the command I’ve seen: ‘pm2 restart mm’. What I’ve found is mm restarts when save changes to the config.js file. So, in order to simulate this I created an alias for the command ‘touch $HOME/MagicMirror/config/config.js’. That seems to work for me. Let me know if there’s a better way to restart mm. Again, my only access is through SSH.

      Thanks again for the help.

    • MagicMirror on a 4k TV

      I’m new to MagicMirror. My use case is to have an informational display on the 4k TV I have in my office. I’ve installed MagicMirror (latest version 2.11) on a Pi 4 and modified the config.js for imperial units, weather location, etc. Things are working fine. But, the text is way too small on.

      I thought the simple answer would be to add the ‘zoom’ variable in the config.js file. It’s not working as I would expect. Once added, the font is way to large. Even after removing the the variable the font remains huge. I need to be able to reset it.

      Another factor here is my only access to the Pi is through SSH. I don’t have a keyboard or mouse connected.

      So, what’s the best way to increase the size of the text? I really don’t want to run the screen at a lower resolution. I can’t easily increase/decrease the zoom factor of the browser. If there’s a way to do that through SSH, I’m willing to try. Is a custom.css file the answer? Is there an simple way to adjust the overall size of things there?

      Thanks for any advice you can offer.
