Conky Manager

[SantaFe]

This is the link I use when installing Conky Manager after a reinstall: http://www.teejeetech.in/p/conky-manager.html

I know the latest CM on the PPA page is listed as 16.04, but it does install & work fine in Ubuntu-MATE 16.10.

Thanks for link. Yes, it installs and works. When I initially tried to configure (both gui and text config file) /Gotham/Gotham anywhere at the top, it stays at the corresponding left, right, or middle/middle position. However, after rebooting the PC, Conky Manager worked just fine.

Hey, one short question of me. For month my Conky worked well, I had create new widgets and download some nice. Now I wanted to add a new calender, but he is not list in my Conky Manager. I write some on my own and download some, but nothing happens, they are not shown in my Conky Manager. If I take a file that is shown in Conky and copy it, it is also not more shown (in my Conky Manger list with all files). Can I do something, maybe import them manually in Conky? Why they do not work whatever I try? Thanks for help (and of course, sorry for my english ), lovespock

EDIT: And just in case naming the file is important for Conky Manager to see it.
IE: (.my_calendarrc)
And these scirpts must be the .conky directory in your home.
