      text: "Current Weather",
      symbol: "wi wi-cloud",
    },
    "weatherforecast": {

      symbol: "wi wi-day-sunny",
    },
    "clock": {
      // A button with only text
      text: "Clock",
    },

Notes

• Important: unfortunatly positioning this module as fullscreen will result in the menu floating top left. I currently do not know how to fix this but will look into it. If you know how don't hesitate to either write me or send me a pull request!
• If the image is an local path and it does not show. Try different ways to write the local path. If this still does not work then try putting the image in a folder in your MagicMirror folder and use as local path foldername/imagename.
• If only heigh or width is set for an image the other size will scale to maintain it the image it's original aspect ratio.
• Module name is case sensitive.
• If both the text and symbol aren't set for a button then the button won't contain anything, but still show the border.
• The symbols are all form the Font Awesome and Weather Icons websites.
• The text may contain HTML tags and will be displayed as HTML.
