have you rebooted yet??

if you have, ensure that the xorg.conf is editted correctly and you are using the .conkyrc file supplied (a wrongly configured .conkyrc script will flicker, ie. if it doesn't ask for the double buffer)

Look at the first page of this HowTo:D

Works very well indeed,thanks for this HowTo.
One question though,it keeps track of hda1 but I use sda1 and I changed hda1 into sda1,but that doesn't seem to work.
Is there a way to change this?

Is there way to add it to your desktop perminately without gnome. I'm running Xubuntu.
Thanks

:oops:
Thanks!

I installed Conky succesly but I cant figure out why my conky doesn't stop to flicker.

I change "double_buffer no" instead of "double_buffer yes"

and set time interval to half a second instead of one second.

Im using this script
http://conky.sourceforge.net/conkyrc-vert

I would also like to use it on right top corner ,but dont now how


Please help me

I personally like the configs that offer multi-colors on the status bars. Heres a shot of my flux desktop with my conky conifg:

Wow, thanks this really is a great desktop, *using* :D.

It worked great... but it could not load the font 'arial'...

Code:

Conky: can't load font 'arial'

I have mstcorefonts but it won't load. I tried replacing the font with system default (Sans) and still won't work. I also tried the -f option and no luck too... Would highly appreciate your help.
