Detect monitor size for display locations #15

My Raspberry Pi is connected to a 42" 1080p TV. Maynard looks nice, but I can't see any of the icons (except the time) when I move the mouse to the left side of the screen.

Here's a picture, since I couldn't find a way to get a screenshot: Maynard visibility issue

Try disabling overscan on the TV. Check the display menu options (it may be called "just scan", "screen fit", "HD size", "full pixel", "unscaled", "dot by dot", "native" or "1:1"), and add disable_overscan=1 to config.txt.

The alternative solution is to add overscan_scale=1 to config.txt, but that will produce a lower quality image, as it will be resized (twice).

Thank you! This worked great.
