@dusty_taylor07 you need to cd MagicMirror first

Hi will. Welcome to this forum. Top right you see a magnifying glass. Click on it to open the search box. Within 10 seconds searching this forum for “background” you find this:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6744/adding-background-image ;)

That should answer your question

@ob018 said in MMM-Jnews:

I was wondering if you could add a way to “force” a specific language ?
( my mirror language is English and i would love to read the French news )

mh, you could try to use this:

{
	module: 'MMM-Jnews',
	config: {
		lang: "fr",
		apiKey: "YOUR API KEY", 
		image : true,
		rotateInterval: 25 * 1000 
	}
},

Thanks for taking your time providing the solution you found. Very much appreciated

There is a : too much in the module line, and there is a dot before the token value

@solelo said in MMM-Scrobbler CSS:

@spwood100 how did you get the “Spotify Music” header at the top of it?

Please try this:

{
			
	module: 'MMM-Scrobbler',
	header: 'Spotify Music', // <<<<<<
	position: 'top_right',
	config: {

		username: 'Last.fm username',
	
		apikey: 'Last.fm api key',
	
		//time interval to search for new song (every 15 seconds)
		updateInterval: 15 * 1000,
		//how often should we try to retrieve a song if not listening
		delayCount: 5,
		//time interval to search for new song if the 5 times not listening is received.
		//set this to the same number as updateInterval to ignore this option	
		delayInterval: 120*1000,
		animationSpeed: 1000,
		showAlbumArt: true,
	    	showMetaData: true,
		//Determines the position of the meta text. Possible values: top, bottom, left, right
		alignment: "bottom", 
		}
	
}

According to another similar thread please set this instead:

dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d (with an additional f )

Ah, I see. The module is missing the code to actually display/do something, either directly or via template system.

/* global Module */

/* Magic Mirror
 * Module: MMM-static-text
 *
 * By Michael Teeuw http://michaelteeuw.nl
 * MIT Licensed.
 */

Module.register("MMM-static-text",{

	// Default module config.
	defaults: {
		text: "Wetterinformationen!"
	},

	// Override dom generator.
	getDom: function() {
		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
		wrapper.innerHTML = this.config.text;
		return wrapper;
	}
});

Did you change all files in modules/default? Or did you create a folder MM-static-text in modules ?

There is a comma missing after your position line

position: "top_left",

However you could also just set the timezone of your raspberry and ignore this timezone thing in clock module

I took the same approach as @D90
My background is plain black, almost all elements were removed from taskbar, all icons from desktop removed and I think I even changed colors of taskbar.
In addition I followed a tutorial to remove most boot up text and display the MagicMirror splash screen instead. Still not “ideal”

I know there are some people around running an alternative Window manager, but I did not find time to play around with that.

appid in currentweather module is missing a ’

Time and date on your raspberry are fine, right?

@justjim1220 said in how to remove a forked repo...:

@mykle1

If I do this with a forked repo, it won’t delete the original repo, right? just the forked one from my repos???

Yes, right. I had the same worries in the beginning, but you don’t even have rights to delete someone elses repository.

Please show, what kind of changes exactly you applied.

Please do not post the same question multiple times in different categories, this does not speed up responses.

@yawns the article on t3n is mentioning that they use magicmirror, but their own website doesn’t

Yes,I know. The screenshot on their website however looks like magic mirror. Pictures on Instagram look different

Re: german students develop smart Mirror ??? ;-(
Of course the idea to produce smart mirrors is not from REVELC, but their idea is to insert advertisment on the screen and to sell this idea!!! It is not their mistake that the press took that wrong! Furthermore the youngsters don’t pass the inventor’s idea off as their own. They programmed their own software

Of course it would be a lot of additional work developing an own system from scratch, so it is reasonable using existing software. And still it would be nice and fair to mention the use of MagicMirror as a base system if they use it. The screenshot on revelc.de looks VERY familiar. Besides that your website should contain more pictures and details to let people know what modules can do and how they look.

Good luck with your marketing

@tomamer
Great, we all were at this point. Enjoy your mirror

@tomamer
Look at this line: destination: ‘Kingston, London'

There is a wrong apostrophe before Kingston

If you want to, send it to me. I can take a look today or tomorrow.
