your desk is very well done. could i ask what emerald/metacity theme you are using?

very nice conky btw.

[herbster]

Okay I pretty much jacked LoKe's conky as mine has been the same for a while, and it all works mint but I am trying to get my calendar to align to the right. See the image attached. I want it to the right of the white part which is the edge of a building on my WP. I have tried ${alignr} but that only aligns "August 2007" and the calendar month itself stays. Anyone?

[PurposeOfReason]

New install (64bit) so I brought back one of my older conkyrc's.

This is a very old one i have here...i had been writing a script to get my gaim friends list too....but stopped halfway thru it.....

[jackmc]

ok, quite a few people are using pop3_unseen. Please tell me how.

When I use it, conky doesn't even show up - there is no error message, just a blank spot where it should be

I either get:

jack@jack-laptop:~$ conky
Conky: forked to background, pid is 21332


OR

jack@jack-laptop:~$ conky
Conky: forked to background, pid is 21376
jack@jack-laptop:~$
Conky: desktop window (1000061) is subwindow of root window (4d)
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (1a00002)

Please help

Is it possible to have only lowercase characters in conky? I know of the parameter 'uppercase', but when I tried adding a 'lowercase yes' entry, i get a "no such configuration: 'lowercase'" error message (in the terminal).

[~LoKe]

uppercase no

[gavin72]

Here's my .conkyrc and screenshot. The Cover Art is the "NowPlaying" screenlet.
Music Player is the wonderful Exaile.
Image in bottom panel is wallpaper-tray, a nice wallpaper changer.

Thanks for Viewing.

Screenshot and .conkrc attached.
