Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

i also did some stuff with cairo and lua:

code now plox

--[[
Conky Widgets by londonali1010 (2009)

This script is meant to be a "shell" to hold a suite of widgets for use in Conky.

To configure:
+ Copy the widget's code block (will be framed by --(( WIDGET NAME )) and --(( END WIDGET NAME )), with "[" instead of "(") somewhere between "require 'cairo'" and "function conky_widgets()", ensuring not to paste into another widget's code block
+ To call the widget, add the following between "cr = cairo_create(cs)" and "cairo_destroy(cr)" at the end of the script:
	NAME_OF_FUNCTION(cr, OPTIONS)
+ Replace OPTIONS with the options for your widget (should be specified in the widget's code block) 

Call this script in Conky using the following before TEXT (assuming you save this script to ~/scripts/conky_widgets.lua):
	lua_load ~/scripts/conky_widgets.lua
	lua_draw_hook_pre widgets
	
Changelog:
+ v1.1 -- Simplified calls to widgets by implementing a global drawing surface, and included imlib2 by default (03.11.2009)
+ v1.0 -- Original release (17.10.2009)

--[[ Options (name, arg, max, bg_colour, bg_alpha, xc, yc, radius, thickness, start_angle, end_angle):
	"name" is the type of stat to display; you can choose from 'cpu', 'memperc', 'fs_used_perc', 'battery_used_perc'.
	"arg" is the argument to the stat type, e.g. if in Conky you would write ${cpu cpu0}, 'cpu0' would be the argument. If you would not use an argument in the Conky variable, use ''.
	"max" is the maximum value of the ring. If the Conky variable outputs a percentage, use 100.
	"bg_colour" is the colour of the base ring.
	"bg_alpha" is the alpha value of the base ring.
	"fg_colour" is the colour of the indicator part of the ring.
	"fg_alpha" is the alpha value of the indicator part of the ring.
	"x" and "y" are the x and y coordinates of the centre of the ring, relative to the top left corner of the Conky window.
	"radius" is the radius of the ring.
	"thickness" is the thickness of the ring, centred around the radius.
	"start_angle" is the starting angle of the ring, in degrees, clockwise from top. Value can be either positive or negative.
	"end_angle" is the ending angle of the ring, in degrees, clockwise from top. Value can be either positive or negative, but must be larger (e.g. more clockwise) than start_angle. ]]

did the swap variable for percent change for 1.7.2 or is something funky goin on here.

${goto 675}${font Verana:style=Bold:size=9}SWAP: ${font Verdana:size=8}${swap} / ${swapmax} (${swapperc}%)

or is it 9.10

Nope, the variables haven't changed! If anyone else can reproduce this, you should file it as a bug...I would try it myself, but I don't use swap! :S

But 8.73/(4.76⋅1024)=0.0017910485 or 0.18% or 0%

Conky + tint2 = pretty

true words!
looks like you are drawing the white bar with cairo don't you?

[djyoung4]

didn't even think about that. My system rarely ever uses swap and I saw that and was quite confused. More power to people who do the math and don't just jump to conclusions.
