Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

@Andifferous
Search the forums for a file called gtkrc. it might be '.gtkrc-2.0' but that is where you can change panel color. If you are using edgy you can use a program called 'gnome-color-chooser' it can be found here. It doesnt work in dapper though, due to many dependency issues

[PartisanEntity]

Andifferous if you were refering to the font colour then this is the how to I used. But since you said panel colour I was not sure what you meant.

Mine is slightly modified from a stock config on conky's site

sudo apt-get install conky

~/.conkyrc is the configuration file. It's called ".conkyrc" and it's located in your home folder. Typing "gksudo gedit ~/.conkyrc" will let you edit the configuration file.

Thanks for the info Loke . Just set mine up, very nice. I stole the code from PartisanEntity. I love linux.
