You would save that as a bash script and call it from the .conkyrc
We did edit that script quite a bit after ans originally posted it.
You can download the newest version of it here.
Just make sure it's executable with this:
Code:
chmod +x conkycal.sh
and you call it from the .conkyrc like this:
Code:
${execpi 3600 $HOME/conky/conkycal.sh}
adjusting the path to point to wherever you put the script.
You can change it to a vertical calendar by adding -v after the script like this:
Code:
${execpi 3600 $HOME/conky/conkycal.sh -v}
You can also download the optional language file here to add about 40 languages to the script. It only tries to load that file if it exists so you can totally ignore it.
Here are screenshots of the calendar in vertical and horizontal modes:

The script should be pretty easy to adjust the colors how you want them, too. Make sure you set a mono-spaced font in the .conkyrc right before calling the script:
Code:
${font monospace:size=10}
or whatever other mono-spaced font you might have.
You can also go to Conky PitStop listed in my sig for other scripts related to conky.
