You running an AMD64? I have:

PM me if you want it. It works on Debian SID but won't on Stable needs newer version of libc6:

At least I tried ... have a good day.

I have a conky window that displays the local weather forecast. The length runs almost the full length of my desktop even though the forecast itself isn't that long. Attached is a screenshot of the window (with border) to show what I mean. I'd like to reduce the window's length, but I have tried everything I can think of without success. I have tried all of the "own_window_types" and have also messed with "minimum_size" but nothing works.
Here's my conkyrc for this window:

Canuck huh ... location=CAXX3494 makes it obvious.
OK Here comes the DOH! moment! EH!
Change:
to:Code:# Minimum size of text area minimum_size 155 800
and while you're at it may as well tidy this up too:Code:# Minimum size of text area minimum_size 155 0
toCode:#Maximum Width of Window maximum_width 350
You still use conkyForecast. Some people are just soooooooooooo lucky.Code:#Maximum Width of Window maximum_width 155
I think it only works for people in the US and Canada now.
Now since you are here, what not do it all with ONE ${execpi} call by making a template?
I'll take maple Syrup for 1000, Bob!
Question: What version of conkyForecast are you using?
My last working conkyForecast conky used:
Code:${execpi 1800 conkyForecast --location=ARDF0127 --template=/home/sector11/Conky/scripts/OB_Weather.template}

LOL!
Thanks for the suggestions!
I noticed that both the minimum_size and maximum_size parameters were screwy for what I want, so I fixed them like so:
However, the window is still grabbing the full length of the screen.Code:# Minimum size of text area minimum_size 225 0 #Maximum Width of Window maximum_width 225I'm wondering if it could be something to do with my window manager (Compiz 0.9.11.2) that's causing it? I say that because my other conky window also extends further than it should, although not totally the length of the screen. See the attached screenshot.
Truthfully, I'm using the first weather script I came across. Any suggestions for something that's more up-to-date or has more/better features? Also, the "Plan" is to eventually get this into a template but I'm struggling enough just figuring things out without templates.You still use conkyForecast. Some people are just soooooooooooo lucky.
I think it only works for people in the US and Canada now.
Now since you are here, what not do it all with ONE ${execpi} call by making a template?Thanks for the link, though... I'll check that out.
I'm not sure which version I'm using, but the last modification noted in conkyForecast.py is dated May 2008 so it's pretty darned old. LOL! Hmmm.... come to think of it, I'm not even sure anymore where I got the script??? SIGH!!! Being old is a PITA... can't hardly remember what I had for breakfast, anymore. LOL!

DOH! My OOPS!
Check this out: Goto/offset/voffset and scroll down until you see:
Check out the See: Bars with text links as well.And for that reason we see things like this (See: Bars with text):
The REAL fast way of shortening your conky:
See that last line in your code... ${font} ... well just add this:Code:${color1}${goto 55}Humidity: ${color2}${execi 3600 python ~/scripts/conkyForecast.py --location=CAXX3494 --datatype=HM --startday=4}${goto 130}${color1}Precipitation: ${color2}${execi 3600 python ~/scripts/conkyForecast.py --location=CAXX3494 --datatype=PC --startday=4 --imperial} ${font}
adjusting the -100 until you get it where you want it.Code:${font}${voffset -100}
This hit me like a ton of bricks when I loaded up your conky ...
Now for a weather script since you like font vs images, check out Teo's scripts.
Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/Weather.com/Lunaf.com)
BTW: It took me a -340 to get it.

LOL! We're having a DOH!-fest! It's party time!DOH! My OOPS!
Seriously though...
AH! I finally get it! The reason there's extra space is because for each line in the conkyrc below the TEXT statement a line is added to the window, so when I use ${voffset -XXX} in the script it shortens the length of the output that many pixels but the length of the window stays the same.Check this out: Goto/offset/voffset and scroll down until you see:
Check out the See: Bars with text links as well.
It's my turn... DOH!
I added ${voffset -325} to the end of the conkyrc (you suggested -340 but I do want a bit of an "edge" between the window and other stuff), and it's perfect now! You da man!
Thanks! I'll check that out, although I'm not "against" weather images instead of fonts... I'm just currently using what I happened to stumble across (literally!) while wandering the net. That said, what script would you suggest if I wanted to use images?Now for a weather script since you like font vs images, check out Teo's scripts.
Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/Weather.com/Lunaf.com)
Thanks, again, for your help!
