Thanks for the info thebinz. I had the idea to try to get something out of uname -a, but there's no ubuntu in there.

I'll find something.

anyway to change the total width of it? the information only sticks out a few pixels but the program sticks out way past that taking with it a lot of usable space... note my screenshot below, you can see where it covers the desktop when i highlight around it. thanks!

Look for the minimum width line and change it.

I had that same problem, and it was with a config that I copied and modified to suit my needs. Since my "donor" config looked a lot like yours does, I'm betting you have the same problem.

On each line of my TEXT area was a ${offset 240}. My solution was to remove this from each line, then add a: maximum_width 200 before the TEXT section.

Maybe this'll work for you too.

is it possible to make conky stay ontop of tint?
tint uses fake transparency and I wanted to put conky in place like it was part of the 'panel'. Thanks

Edit: Got my calendar working now.

Thanks anyway and I'll post some screenshots soon.

What's wrong with that one? It works for me. Put it in your .conkyrc and run conky in a terminal. Post the output and your .conkyrc.

Hey there conky runs well, but it stays on top of all other windows, how do i set .conkyrc to stay under windows?

I think you need to add or change your .conkyrc to include something like this:

# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window yes

# If own_window is yes, you may use type normal, desktop or override
own_window_type normal

# Use pseudo transparency with own_window?
own_window_transparent yes

# If own_window is yes, these window manager hints may be used
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
