Add this underneath and adjust numbers to suit

minimum_size 260 1349
maximum_width 280

awesome!!! BUT, as the background it has the greeter background instead of the actual desktop background. How can I fix that? Also, I have a core 2 duo, how can I get the 2nd CPU to show?

The fix for that should be in your draw_bg.lua file, at least that's where it is for me.
Post that one too

Forgot about your CPU issue lol. Yours is set up different than mine, looks like yours is taking an average, where mine shows them separate. To be honest, I'd probably confuse the hell outta ya with that issue as I do that to myself. When I have problems with things like that it usually takes me a while to sort it out cause I have to run through all my documents and files to figure it out, then still asking questions here lol

Mine is in home in folder .conky
ctrl+H to show hidden folders in home

I just realized your conky isn't calling for lua o.O
I'm looking at it again ....

You are not using a draw-bg.lua script, it's nowhere in your conky.

It's my Finale... for now
But beware it my cause a bit of stress for your GPU since optirun is turning it ON and then OFF.

Cheers !

PS : It's optimized for Unity Desktop (1366x768).

so i have installed you code and mine looks off can you or someone please help me get this correct and oh by the way.. excellent work.

thanks for trying but no, it still shows the greeter background for xubuntu. here's what it looks like, this is a new picture. It looks like all that did was cut the bottom off so thats correct now but I don't get why it's not transparent with the Black Ops II background behind it.
