IS there a way to Position Conky in a specific place on the desktop? I know you can edit the ".conkyrc" file but I can only see options for "top" or bottom_left" I want to be able to position it exactly over a part of my wallpaper:)
Thanks in advance!:KS
***edit***
never mind i fpund a way by adding
to my conky settings fileCode:gap_x 400
gap_y 35
you can do that with gap_x and gap_y in pixels. so set position say top_left and the gap_x is how far to the right in pixels conky will move from the edge of the screen and gap_y is how far it will move from the top of the screen.
Oh i did mine and it works fine for me
go to your home directory and unhide all files by pressing Ctrl + H, scroll and look for .conkyrc
open this file and edit where you find the alignment
alignment tl
gab_x -10 (replace 0 with what you think is better form -5 to 150 may be)
gab_y 35 (replace 35 with what you think is better form -5 to 150 may be)
use tl for left alignment, tr for right alignment.
save the file and start conky.
you can be adjusting the figures until you are happy wit it.
