Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[GSF1200S]

Ive got one post on here with my Gnome DE and Conky. This is KDE with Conky setup for dual cores, etc.

I still cant get conky to be transparent unless I change the background once after bootup. Ive given up.. noone seems to have any ideas

Enjoy,,,

**EDIT** See text attachment below for conkyrc text...

Short & sweet

PS. I wanted to include the cpu temp. Having lm-sensors installed & set up I used, "${i2c temp 2}" as I do in Zenwalk. This didn't work, am I missing something?

does anyone know how to make the time in conky display in 12 hour format instead of 24 hour format?

Copy the code from my .conkytime config 2 posts up. =] You can reference the screen shot in the bottom right hand corner to see what the output looks like.
