Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[Oracle$]

Amazing..

[elendilnl]

Can anyone explain this strange phenomenon to me, please? There are times when I make a modification to my conkyrc, and then when conky resets, it resets to the OTHER side of my desktop.

Attached is a screenshot of what I'm talking about.

And also, the little picture of the sun or the moon ALWAYS has those darn clouds behind it, even if the weather conditions are "Clear" or "Sunny".

Could you post your conkyrc here. It will make things easier to understand.

post your .conkyrc for us please

I am using conky-colors, by the way.

What! No backup?

Indeed I did. However, that takes some time, some saving, and the intense eye-rolling involved in deciding where the comments go. Not to mention the fact that I actually didn't want to lose the organization of the environment settings. The only thing the program did right was put together the things that I didn't think were related. So I kept that.

It was truly annoying. I don't trust that program at all. Too over-simplistic to handle the job.

I'm not sure why your Conky switches sides on you, but I can tell you that the clouds being behind the sun or moon, with those little stars above it is in fact the "Clear Skies" and "Calm" graphic from the weather font. You'll notice a few of those weird ones in there. "Windy" looks like stars being blown around in curves. Some of these you just gotta roll with.

For the most part it looks like nothing is wrong. Can you get a screenshot of when it loads on the other side? Or is it loading on the other side, and then instantly moving itself to it's proper place?

The screenshot I had posted a bit earlier was of it loading on the other side. You can see in the screenshot that in my conkyrc, I have the alignment set as "top_left", but is shown on the right-side.

It loads on the other side, but stays there and doesn't move automatically to the proper side. I have to change the alignment a few times before setting it to my desired alignment before it finally goes back to its proper place.

Oh, and is there any way I can get the weather condition to ALWAYS be centered?

The screenshot I had posted a bit earlier was of it loading on the other side. You can see in the screenshot that in my conkyrc, I have the alignment set as "top_left", but is shown on the right-side.

It loads on the other side, but stays there and doesn't move automatically to the proper side. I have to change the alignment a few times before setting it to my desired alignment before it finally goes back to its proper place.

Yes. I mean can you get a screenshot of it in it's intended place. Or is it just automatically going there. Also, is this loading on startup? If so, who is running it, Root or User? 'Cause if it's the wrong user running it, it may be you're editing the wrong conky to make it load in it's proper place.

Or, quite possibly, it could be a problem with conky-colors. I've seen a few instances now where an auto-generated conky script goes wrong and then there seems to be no explanation as to why it's acting up.

Just to get it over with... what version of CONKY are you running, not conky-colors, conky. Surprisingly often enough, having 1.8.1 is actually a bad thing, and you have to step back a bit to 1.8.0 to get things to run right.

Change

own_window_type normal

to

own_window_type override

own_window_type normal should work but sometimes the compiz placement of windows messes things up.
