Hi again
How can i get the processes line at bottom of my conky to not show so much blank space?

${color2}Processes: ${color1}NAME CPU% MEM% 1: ${top name 1}-${top cpu 1} 2: ${top name 2}-${top cpu 2} 3: ${top name 3}-${top cpu 3}

Thanks @ PatrickMoore for the idea

Mike

Any ideas guys?

What space?

Any ideas guys?

Use goto variables.

example:

${goto 340}${top name 1}

It will put the top name variable at 340 pixels from the edge.

What space?

Ive attached a scren shot with the space mrked in red.

I would like it to have 1 space between reading ie:
1: conky - 1.05 2:rainlendar2 - 1.02 3: Xorg - 1.02

At the moment its more like
1: conky - 1.05 2:rainlendar2 - 1.02 3: Xorg - 1

Dont know if its possile to do it like i want or is that how the ${top name 1}-${top cpu 1} lays it out to allow for larger and smaller names?

just want to clean that part up a little

thanks for the file...only thing is conky runs in its own window instead of on my desktop?!

own_window_type override

Try that.

these dont allow for growth in the name field though do they?

Im still very new to this sorry if it a stupid question

I don't think it is possible. If you had a vertical display it would even out something like this (I think):

1: conky        - 1.05 
2: rainlendar2  - 1.02 
3: Xorg         - 1

Find (may need to add) entries similar to these, and edit to your needs:

own_window  yes
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_type override
own_window_hints undecorate,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

I believe there is documentation in /usr/share/doc/conky (I think that's where it is, I'm at a WinXP computer today) that explains the available options and what they mean.

What window manager/desktop environment are running?

You have to remember that using own_window_type override completely overrules anything you have in the own_window_hints line. If you want own_window_hints to mean anything then you have to use own_window_type desktop or just use the default.
