its always interesting to see how some people dont see something that someone else would.......
in some scripts ,conky only appears on the desktop. Some appear both on the desktop and all other screens like when you are browsing.
What code decides that it will be on ALL screens, not just the desktop....??
what code line makes it stay on screen desk and browsing...
some of the scripts have it ,some dont
I like it on
you HAVE to do pics... people want to see them
Hanna I like your conky work please keep more coming.... I am looking for simple code that does the temps and voltage/watts stuff...
here is the one I have going...

i downloaded 1.7.2 and extrct to home. I try the ./configure thing and says failed. whats up? how do I install in the terminal?? and I cant use sudo apt-get install
because that goes to synaptic and installs 1.6.1 how???
I have 1.6.1
whats the code to remove this.. and where can I get the new one... and do you download thr tgz and extract to Home ..????
I just modified my code to include this voltage..see it after load,cpu

is the version in Synaptic the latest...?? thats what I have...
by the way.. anyone have an example of code that displays volts/amps from the laptops power....
please post some here...it will get me started on it..
I can see why most people dont use conky. Its a pain in the ass. Some scripts work ,some dont, depends on PC model. Need more scripts and pics and what computer they have been tested on. We need a site like Stylish, lots of info and activity.
now its back over the bottom taskbar...it must have to do with when the start up command goes.... anyone know how to modify my 9.04 start up
command to load conky BEFORE the rest of it...? right now the command is conky
I guess those start up commands are terminal commands but they dont say that..it should.
anyway I got the width correct. Now I need to change the light blue to another color...dont know which one would show up better...here is the whole

yes I restarted.. by the way.. now after screwing around and multiple restarts, conky is now placing itself UNDER the task bar which is
good..... dont know why....
here is the code for this one... I changed 70 to 50 and there was no difference so I must be doing it wrong... and yes I saved...
# Text alignment, other possible values are commented
#alignment top_left
#minimum_size 10 10
gap_x 15
gap_y 70
alignment top_right
#alignment bottom_left
#alignment bottom_right
It loads on the right side and I want it up just a bit... and would like to narrow the entire box also...slightly..
are some of this just comments..??? thanks
I have conky going all the time on the right of screen...dont exactly know what I did to get it to run all the time but thats what I wanted anyway....
I need to move the rectangle up towards the top right so it doesnt block my bottom panel .... where in my script is the box placement..???
I want it up and to the right just a little bit..
ok got the file .got a theme going...now my current theme makes my desktop icons disappear... they show only when you hover on them.. I deleted the start up command also..
now how about a great theme and code that truly works.. can have all kinds of stuff but dont need weather... and I need a start up command that is correct.....would like it
in the upper right on screen... and if I need Python updates ..which ones..??
now I have one
I made one cause it was NOT there
do I just past code into that??? and that does it???
I probably have it but where...How do I create it and put it on my desktop so I can paste right into it.... ???
I use 9.04 ubuntu dont even know what crunch is....
I want to easily import conky screens ...how??? and how do you do it with terminal..
I have conky from synaptic.....and have a basic screenshot but want to copy and paste these scripts/screens that are available.. example>>
