I've been playing around with conky for the first time and have encountered my first problem. How do I configure conky to increase the window size when I increase the font size ?

[Valshar]

Hi, I'm not being able to get my conky do display the remaining battery power correctly, could anyone help me with this? This is what I hve:

${font Webdings:size=16}~${font}  Battery: ${alignr}${battery_time BAT0}
${font StyleBats:size=12} ${font}${tab 10}  ${battery_percent BAT0}% ${battery_bar BAT0}

I'm not really sure the actual power manager is working correctly... if anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it, it's the last thing I need to finally get ubuntu set up and running just fine.

I don't get what he means by the xcompmgr+transet-df transparency idea?

Would it be better then this?

Im sure compiz is better, if your pc is enough powerful to run it. Im sure compiz must be have options to transparent conky window like other window, but i dont use it to explore how

xcompmgr is a simple composite, like compiz but very very very more simple, only provide fade in, fade out, shadows and, with transset, transparency.

Yes I have compiz running on my laptop right now so I guess I will go wit that green screen plugin

This is what i was looking for !!!!

Here's mine. All of the code was... umm borrowed. Yeh that's it, borrowed from this thread so I'm not going to post it again. Unless someone asks for it. So I'm wondering how many desktops Bruce M. is on now. I couldn't resist using him for all the help he's giving me and I didn't even have to ask for it!!

Background link please...

Well, just because you mentioned it, and I was sitting here calmly drinking a coffee when I read this, I started counting.

Under ~/Conky I have 112 sub-directories and a total of 156 conky files, not counting config files, templates, scripts or other various files related to conky.

Now, not all are mine, some I've downloaded to help other people with their setup. But being the pack-rat I am, I've kept them as samples of How_To and How_Not_To do things. BUT, somewhere in that mess, is my very first one, where conky told me I was Commodore-64 because I shamelessly "borrowed" his to start me off.

So you see you're not alone thief ... errr ... I mean ... borrower!

Now for the good stuff, where did you get that background? (I collect those too!)

EDIT: Hey, just noticed, your using my avatar as well. To StartStopConky?

Have a nice day.
