[andrewsomething]

Any ideas on how to get this to align right? The idea is to have the basic info across the top and the details down the right side. But the weather info won't sit where I want it to.

I imagine that I need you edit the weather.xslt but I'm not sure how to handle text alignment.

Thanks!

It looks like it's offsetting the first line of your weather.xslt file, but not the rest. You might be able to fix it in your config file, but I don't know how. I know you could run another instance of conky where just the weather script is called in the TEXT portion of the config file. (Run "conky -c /pathto/conkyconfig.txt" in order to use a config file other than the default one.) In that one, you could use an alignment of bottom right and a gap_y value large enough so that they appear one right after the other.

Audacious${color ffffff} ${audacious_status} remove and enjoy

I want to display my audacious status but it just says what the command looks like. I looked at a few other's conkyrc's and they have the same code, only it doesn't do like mine.

[PurposeOfReason]

You have to compile conky from source for that and do the commands.

./configure --audacious-enbale
make
sudo make install

Thanks! I'll do that during Marketing class today.
