I was trying to make conky-bottom-panel a panel so that it always remains visible just as the GNOME bottom panel would do (Conky settings description gave me this idea that it is possible). But it wouldn't. Maximised windows get over it. Don't know if it's possible at all.

BTW, does the bottom-panel conky seem to anyone to be tilting a little on the right? It is, I believe. But can't get it straight .

Another point I mentioned once in an earlier post: DS-Terminal font doesn't work in Conky. It works in Writer, so there's no problem in its set-up. I've seen this font in someone's screenshot, so it obviously works. A Dingbat called wmdrama1 also doesn't work. Is there anything like Conky can't load all the fonts? I don't believe so, though.

Anyways, thanks everyone for this huge thing about Conky.

Yup, I realize that, I'm just in a strange mood and wanted to see the answer, the key words being "number of characters" means only 3 if statements:

if x < 10 y=00x
if x < 100 y=0x
if x => 100 y="you're in trouble"

Well, OK, that last one isn't needed.

CHIMO!

LOL @ your dock!

Thanks! Just wait until you see what happens when I click on it; I enabled sub-docks for Cairo and created custom application icons to go with my Batmobiles

Tho you could go on and check if it's "smaller" than -10 and then -100 and include these as part of the statement.

Really, I have this kind of stuff everywhere on my .conkyrc

This is, obviously, for positive and negative natural numbers and 0. Decimals is a bit more elaborate.

I'm still tinkering with it, but as of right now, I am rather pleased with how my Bat Computer's conky turned out

Batman, "It's OK, Robin, to each their own. Right now we have a bigger problem! We've been Penguinized by the Penguin!
