it is a lot clearer on my desktop lost some quality in converting it to jpeg i feel...

also if any one can help,the pages slide between the desktop and my conky so part of the page is hidden,what do i need to change to have the pages on top,,thanks.

thx, and again, let me know if you get probs with that weather script stuff

No problems with the scripts. Good instructions and easy to follow. Once I figure out how to post thumbnails on here I will attach an image of my progress thus far. My next project is to use the pop3_unseen variable to use. I think I will use the gmail.pl ~ script I found via Google as a starting point and see if I can figure out how to pass the arguments to conky. Once I figure it out successfully I will post the code here.
