Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

@WinEunuchs2Unix: Thanks for that link. I tried all of those suggestions but, alas, it's still doing it. I'll keep looking for a solution, and if I find one I'll post it here.

Thanks, again...

You would have to resize the lua rings and then edit the entire conky config to suit.
Your better off finding a more suitable config like the conky_light4core in conky manager.

ok mate

Guys, any ideas why conky is not displaying my laptop's Nvidia GPU temp? I did sudo sensors-detect, and here is code I use for GPU temps:

 ${color CC9900}GPU:$color $alignr ${execi 60 nvidia-settings -query GPUCoreTemp | perl -ne 'print $1 if /GPUCor    eTemp.*?: (\d+)./;'} C${color CC9900}VIDEO ${hr 2}$color
NVidia GeForce GPU $alignr ${nvidia gpufreq} Mhz
Memory $alignr ${nvidia memfreq} Mhz Temperature $alignr ${nvidia temp} C

None of the information is displayed.

Nothing in that code is using sensors.

When using exec/execi you're executing a shell command within conky.
You can test the commands in terminal by just leaving out the execi and interval.
ie What happens when you run this in terminal

nvidia-settings -query GPUCoreTemp

The conky $nvidia variable and the nvidia-settings shell command both work here.
Are you using the proprietary nvidia driver which installs nvidia-settings?

If not, you may be able to get a gpu temp from sensors.
What do you get from running in terminal...

@CantankRus,

nvidia-settings -query GPUCoreTemp
zsh: command not found: nvidia-settings

So I guess I need to install some package, BUT won't I mess up my Nvidia drivers? Because I already struggled a lot to fix them, and I don't want to touch them again.

Now, here how do I find which are my GPU temps?

[CantankRus]

What driver is in use?

/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p

eg

@Trusty:~$ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p 
OpenGL vendor string:   NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 550 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL version string:  4.4.0 NVIDIA 331.38
