What am I missing here? I've backuped a copy of my .conkyrc and started fresh and I can change the size of the background and move it to the right side, but from the variables in the invisible_main.sh they only apply to the backgrounds size.

Oops! OK, once a long long time ago I posted in there, but since I have so many screenshots here there and everywhere I stopped looking at those a long long time ago in a land far far away.

But since you did come through, here's my "1946 Buck Rogers U-235 Atomic Pistol" Goodbye old friend.

Have a GREAT day and thanks.

A few questions:

1- I have a percantage of cpu used followed by a bar that shows cpu usage graphically. The problem is that when the cpu usage goes beyond 1 digit it (the percentage) pushes my cpubar over by a few pixels. This wouldn't be a problem except that I have other bars and I am trying to keep them all aligned. Is there a way to position my cpu bar on the same row as the percentage, but keep it's position independent of the percentages movements?

2- How would I go about displaying my cpu temperature? I have 2 cores.

3- How do I show my GPU temp (NVIDIA)

That's right, only the background size - and an unseen "horizontal" move of your conky

That's why line two has a ${voffset -85}
voffset - positive number moves stuff up
voffset - negative number moves stuff down

So a normal conky that starts:

Code:

TEXT
${goto 10}${color2}${font woodbadge:size=40}IP:${font}${color}

And has the semi-transparent font added:

Code:

TEXT
${execpi 7200 ~/Conky/scripts/invisible_main.sh}
${voffset -85}${goto 10}${color2}${font wood

needs that ${voffset -xx} to compensate for the voffsets in the script:

If you look near the bottom below: ### DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE

you'll see:

Code:

  while [ $g -lt $Layers ]; do
    Line="${Line}${Part}"
    let g=g+1
  done
  echo "\${voffset -2}$Prefix$Line"
done

Taaa daaa!

echo "\${voffset -2}$Prefix$Line"

Does that get you closer?

Have a nice day.

Please show your conky file.

1. Above TEXT

Code:

short_units yes
pad_percents 2

2. Install lm-sensors

3. Do you have the nvidia drivers added? And nvclock?

Code:

GPU: ${execpi 8 sh -c "DISPLAY=:0.0 nvclock -T | grep GPU | cut -c21-22"}

You may need to play with the cut values.
You'll need something like:

Code:

${goto 10}${voffset -10}${font woodbadge:size=15}${color2}Temperatures:${color}${font}
${goto 10}${font DejaVu Sans Mono:bold:size=9}${color3}CPU: ${color5}${execpi 8 sensors | grep 'CPU Temp' | cut --characters 15-16}°${color}${goto 75}${color3}Core: ${execpi 8 sensors | grep 'Core0' | cut --characters 15-16}°${color}${goto 145}${color3}M/B: ${execpi 8 sensors | grep 'M/B Temp' | cut --characters 15-16}°${color}${goto 210}${color3}GPU: ${execpi 8 sh -c "DISPLAY=:0.0 nvclock -T | grep GPU | cut -c21-22"}°${font}

Have a nice day.

I don't know that we're on the same page, even with a ${voffset} I can't seem to get it to move to the right side. I'm not sure how to make the "unseen" horizontal move. If I edit the .conkyrc to align on the upper left everything works wonderfully.However; I'd like to keep it on the right side. It took me a minute to figre out why it split my screen, my weather and hdd info on one and processes etc on the right. I have a lot of objects right justified which I think is part of the reason for the split.

1. Didn't work
2. Looking into it
3. My Nvidia driver 185.18.14 can already sense the temperature, do I need additional software? Haven't done it yet, but here's a screenshot and my .conkyrc

Excellent choice in walls there Bruce. I love all the "awesome guy" ones.
