Hey i really like your conky setup. Do you think you could also include your forecast template file. also you're missing an $endif in the config

Copy calendar icon and background (proba1.png) to /usr/share/icons/ if you want to set it up automatically.
Don´t forget to install weather and conkyWeather fonts...

This value here:

# Text stuff
draw_outline yes # amplifies text if yes
draw_borders no
font arial:size=24

needs to be changed. Larger numbers will result in larger fonts.

Do you have a screenshot of it?

Well I doubled that font number to 42, no difference, doesn't matter what number I use it doesn't change the size.

You have to define what font do you want to use-that what you have is default font (don´t know the font)

Code:

use_xft yes
xftfont DejaVu Sans:size=7

Just rename font name and choose some you have installed

That did it, Thank You.

Nothing original, but I've hacked around with others' conkies until it works for me:

The only problem I have is that the 'low' temperature for today is often higher than the 'high' temperature; I'm not sure what's going on there.
