How can I use Hello World to create a rolling text … like a banner

When I stop MM (pm2 stop mm) and turn monitor off (xset -display :0.0 dpms force off) then in a low light I can see the display as dark grey.
Is there a way to make the monitor pitch black by displaying black color all over the screen ?

OK - thanks

I made an update with ‘cd /home/pi/MagicMirror && git pull && npm install’ and received a warning:
npm WARN grunt-yamllint@0.2.0 requires a peer of grunt@~0.4.0 but none was installed.

What does that mean ?

Sorry - my mistake … I forgot to run ‘npm install’
Now it works like a Swiss clock …
Thanks again

Thanks for your reply - I update the software with ‘git pull’

My ‘config.js’ looks like this:

{
module: ‘MMM-RandomBackground’,
position: ‘fullscreen_below’,
config: {
randomOrder: false,
animationSpeed: 100,
updateInterval: 5000
}

But I get only a white screen … have you change the ‘photoDirectories’ also ?
I still have the link ‘/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RandomBackground/photos’

I tested MMM-RandomBackground with 40 images and discovered that very often the same image was chosen two times in row.
Don’t know how you choose the images order randomly but is there a way to eliminate the random algorithm and just display the images in the file name order they are in the folder …

Maybe I gave confusing information to you.
MMM-RandomBackground doesn’t hide any other modules … what I ment was that some text from other modules are hard to read (light text on light background)
‘imageSize’ would solve that problem for me at once
If you are going to dig in the code please prioritize this before ‘photoDirectories’ … that works OK as a temporay solution
Thanks …

More feedback …
The config should also include ‘imageSize’
Now the image is full screen and it will hide other information on the screen (despite it is ‘fullscreen_below’)
It would be good to have it centered with a customized size …

OK - it worked … but it is a temporary solution
When are you going to implement photoDirectories config …
