Isn't that just width? Would I just add something to the "maximum_size" parameter to solve it?

It's really weird (or I understand it wrong) but the 1280 is everything. On mine I always have to run it smaller to something like.

minimum_size 60 5
maximum_width 85 5

Just changed 'em both to "80 5" and got the same problem.

However, now I understand how "size" works, I think.

Try own window to no.

Try own window to no.

No dice. However, It looks nicer now because it's finally got the transparent background.

Ran into a snag.

Only difference, obviously, is that the placement on the other is bottom_left, not top_left.

Create two conky files: conkyt and conkyb

conkyt (top) will have:

alignment top_left

cinkyb (bottom) will have:

alignment bottom_left

Everything else above TEXT is the same
Below TEXT is where you make the changes.

Now in terminal:

gedit ~/.startconky

and in that empty file cut and paste this:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 20 &
conky -c ~/where_your_files_are/conkyt &
#sleep 1 &
#conky -c ~/where_your_files_are/conkyb &

where_your_files_are is the folder where you have the two files. ie: mine is: /.conkyscripts

Make it executable:

chmod u+x .startconky

Thanks to: p_quarles

Now you can start conky with:

./.startconky

and kill it with:

killall conky

gksudo gedit ~/.startconky

and in that empty file cut and paste this

You don't need root privileges to edit a file in your own home directory.

My latest conky, I love the StarTrekie/Military type font

Opps! That's the way I was taught how to do it, will correct it.
I thought it was because it would automatically executable.

Thanks.

It might make it executable (honestly not sure), but it might also break permissions. Much better to just run:

chmod u+x .startconky

chmod u+x .startconky

sudo chmod a+x ~/scripts/weather.sh

Hmmm, I've been told a+x

Now I just have to find all the commands for chmod!

Thanks again p_quarles.
