Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[Bruce M.]

Can anyone tell me how I can get the info to move all the way to the edge of the screen?

use the

maximum_width x

function before the TEXT line in your conky file,

experiment with different values of x until you get what you need

See the command in red in your file

True, maximum_width 180 did it for me, I grabbed the code to test, of course I don't have the other scripts Orbegoso is using and that doesn't explain "why" it is the way it is.

# So I went looking ... and found spaces at the end of lines, for example the line that ends with: ${fs_bar 8, 60} doesn't:

${fs_bar 8, 60}                              |<<-- blank spaces until here!

Used gedit's [Alt]+[F12] (remove trailing spaces) and commented out #maximum_width 180

That was REAL close to the edge so I added above TEXT a nice:

gap_x 10

to fix that up nicely.

Have a nice day.

You could add ${voffset -??} on the last line to bring it back up again.

Yes -->> ${goto}, ${offset} & ${voffset}

Have a nice day.

${execpi 60 DJS=`date +%_d`; cal | sed '/./!d' | sed 's/$/                     /' | fold -w 21 | sed -n '/^.\{21\}/p' | sed 's/^/${alignc} /' | sed /" $DJS "/s/" $DJS "/" "'${color orange}'"$DJS"'${color}'" "/}

Thank you searchOne! It is perfect =D>

It isn't too important, but is it possible to change the calendar without much work to start the weak with Monday? (I know the ${exec cal -m} does this with the simple calendar) edit: OK, I realised I just have the add the -m to your line. so it is solved and my new calendar is even better than the old one

I've been using that for while with a bit of editing.
You can also do this to make the Month and year and the days of the week different colors from the rest:

${execpi 3600 DAY=$(date '+%_d');cal=$(cal);echo -e "\${color cccccc}${cal:0:21}\${color 0000cc}${cal:21:21}\${color}$(echo "${cal:42}" | sed -e '/^ *$/d' -e 's/^/ /' -e 's/$/ /' -e /" $DAY "/s/" $DAY "/" "'${color ffffff}'"$DAY"'${color}'" "/ -e 's/^ //' -e 's/ $//')"}

To fill in the blank areas at the beginning and end of the month it gets a bit more complicated:

${execpi 3600 date=$(date '+%F');DAY=${date:8:2};DAY=${DAY/#0/};cal=$(cal);prev=$(cal $(date '+%-m %Y' --date="${date:0:7}-15 -1 month")|sed 's/ *$//;/^$/d'|tail -1);next=$(cal $(date '+%-m %Y' --date="${date:0:7}-15 +1 month")|sed '/^ *&/d;1,2d;s/^ *//'|head -1);if [ ${#next} == 19 ] ;then next=$'\n'"\${color9} $next";else next="\${color9}  $next";fi;if [ ${#prev} == 20 ]; then prev="$prev"$'\n ';else prev="$prev  ";fi;echo -e "\${color7}${cal:0:21}\${color4}${cal:21:21}\${color9}$prev\${color}$(echo "${cal:42}" | sed -e '/^ *$/d' -e 's/^/ /' -e 's/$/ /' -e 's/^ *1 / 1 /' -e /" $DAY "/s/" $DAY "/" "'${color3}'"$DAY"'${color}'" "/ -e 's/^ //' -e 's/ *$//')$next"}

So it looks like this:

You can add |sed 's/^/${alignc}/' before the final } to center align or |sed 's/^/${alignr}/' for right alignment.

A slightly neater version of the "script" is here.

I want conky to start when I log on to my computer.....
Would anyone be willing to help me????
I don't want to go to my terminal every time I startup my laptop.

Oh yeah here's my screen shot by the way =)

Here's a link to 100 images from the Hubble Space Telescope.

Let's see some conky desktops based around these!

I was wondering who has tint2 with Conky in the same space, if they can show me how they have it done. My tint2 puts itself over my Conky. I'm using tint2 on my Eee.

Sorry to be a leech again, i'm using this twitter reply script

curl http://search.twitter.com/search?q=$1 | \
	sed -e 's_<[^>]*>__g' | \
	grep $1 | \
	grep ':' | \
	grep -v 'middot' | \
	grep -v 'Reply' | \
	grep -v 'Summize' | \

	sed -e 's_&apos;_"_g' | \
	sed -e 's_&amp;_and_g' | \
	sed -e 's_  __g'

Is there anyway of get a page return to appear after each message?
