    I didn’t want to start a separate thread for this, but I didn’t want to leave it unmentioned here in the forum either 🙂 The website has undergone a major modernization. Mainly technical changes under the hood and the design has been retained except for a few details. But there are also a few things that regular users of the site might notice: For example there is now a dark mode, responsiveness and accessibility have been improved, there is a favicon, an animated GIF showing the MagicMirror interface and faster loading times. https://magicmirror.builders/

    @joey Had not thought about using laptop with dead screen to run MM or other OS on. I have one I could work with, to try out different OS’s.

    @videogame95 I posted in the other topic Without touch, you would need a functional mouse device. Some remotes can do that. The irvframe would have to go on top of the glass, aka in front

    @techeros part of the problem is that people ‘assume’ that data entry (making calendar entries, updating chore lists, adding to shopping lists) is ‘built in’, ’ of course’… we don’t have that… the design for MM is a composable(different modules for different data sources) information panel. data entry is phone, display is MM. and then there is a whole HOST of fun things, dakboard has this ‘cool’ white background… MM is black, and all the modules are transparent, showing the black. change the background to white (easy), but the modules do not auto adjust cause they are all user developed and didn’t use the built in styles…

    @videogame95 I’m not aware of any touchscreen that will work behind glass. This glass is not like stuff on phones More times than not you have to put an IR frame in front of the glass and plug it into a usb port( it becomes a mouse, touch = click)

    @Babene1 the base MagicMirror calendar module does not provide a way to affect styles for ‘today’ You may be able to do this with css. Looking at the code, it adds a class name ‘today’ to the events for today So in custom.css .calendar .today { color:…..; } Note the dot in front of each name, meaning class

    If MMM-SelfieShot is giving you trouble, you might want to look at MMM-TelegramBot or MMM-OpenCV. Most of the older camera modules struggle with the newer Pi camera drivers (libcamera), but OpenCV is much more flexible. For a university project, using the OpenCV module might even give you some extra ‘tech’ points since it can handle face detection too!
