Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[VinDSL]

I apologize for the question and looking like a leecher.[...]

Thanks for your work VinDSL.

You're welcome! And, no need to apologize.

This storm has been brewing, for awhile...

Ppl in the Conky Community tend to be rather neurotic.

It's good for them to vent occasionally!

I'm trying to use ${if_match to make my updates be more standoutish when there's new updates and no new updates.

the bit above the space is the experimental part, it's just defaulting to Red "No Updates" although it should be displaying light blue "6 Updates", I posted a screen pic.

well, leaving everything else aside, I would like to say that you have a very nice conky, and it matches the launcher you have at the bottom which gives the whole thing a unified look

is that images your overlaying the conkyrc output on? or are you drawing those with lua?

maybe you could put a border around the launcher so it matches the conky even better (if you dont mind my suggestions ) and maybe a tweak here and there to realign some of the conky text so it stays all within the black

then again i am a perfectionist so those tiny details may only ever bother me

There is no Lua in this one. It's a image command in the conky itself. ${image /media/sdb//conky/conky.1.png -p 0,339}
It's not a launcher but cairo-dock using the Token icon pack.

[El_Belgicano]

surely check this post. Pretty simple script. just need to edit visudo <snip>

Very kind of you sir.

just tried this out and all you have to do is remove the " around the 0

if you ever get something that you think should work but doesn't try launching conky via the terminal, thats what gave me the solution this time

Conky: trying to compare args '15 ' and ' "0"' of different type
Conky: compare failed for expression '15 == "0"'
