Detecting viewport size on moode host

[MJR42]

Hi folks!

Does anyone have a trick for determining the viewport size on the kiosk/native display? I need to find out what my touchscreen is actually reporting as the viewport, but I can't navigate to whatismyviewport.com without a navigation bar.

Alternatively, perhaps I can start the browser on whatsmyviewport.com. Where is the kiosk mode started from?

I'm looking for the information needed to select the correct @media config call.

TIA
Michael

Try this

Code:

# Show viewport size in popup message
moodeutl -q "update cfg_system set value='viewport' where param='pkgid_suffix'"

# Revert
moodeutl -q "update cfg_system set value='' where param='pkgid_suffix'"

You'll probably want to know the answer anyway.

Have a look at /home/pi/.xinitrc, the last line of which is

Code:

chromium-browser --app=http://localhost/ --window-size=$SCREENSIZE --window-position=0,0 --no-first-run -enable-features=OverlayScrollbar --disable-infobars --
disable-session-crashed-bubble

Thanks Tim, that did the trick nicely.

Turns out the system sets the viewport 1px smaller than the system screensize.
System screensize 800x480
Viewport 799x479

And I now have success in creating my own layout. I'm going to do a little fine tuning and cleanup, and then I'll post a few screenshots to see whether there's interest in me sharing it.

Glad to see you've had success in getting your edits done Michael and you're willing to share them.
