Help with 2.1" display #924
Description
Describe the bug
Hey everyone!
I need some help with my Linux setup.
I tried to mess around with different settings and themes, but the result was the same:
Running python3 configure.py apparently detects the screen correctly, sets the background correctly, but all the other info like time are not being updated.
The original software provided by the manufactrer works well on Windows.
I tried to debug, but this project is too advanced for my python skills 🥲
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Run
python3 configure.py - Click on 'Save and run'
- Only the background is updated;
Expected behavior
Screen displaying the background and stats like the theme preview.
