Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[HippyRandall]

When I used the Conky-Colors .conkyrc, conky didn't minimize whenever I showed desktop on GNOME but with other .conkyrc's, Conky minimizes.

How do I prevent Conky from minimizing when showing desktop on GNOME?

look for the differences in the 2 rc files. somewhere is a setting in the Conky-Colors rc that is different. Post them both here and we can help.

Can you at least say how long the wait might be?

Could use some help, guys.



Bottom right corner: how do I make RSS right-align properly?

now I know a picture is supposed to be worth a thousand words but in this case I would rather see some code.

It's in the shot but here goes:

TEXT
${alignr}${rss http://www.abc.net.au/news/indexes/world/rss.xml 60 feed_title}

${alignr}${rss http://www.abc.net.au/news/indexes/world/rss.xml 10 item_titles 10}${alignr}

It will only right-justify the first line. Nothing else.

Took some work, but I got all the ELEMENTS working now. It's just a matter of putting them in the most appealing configuration.

I'd normally center-align everything, but I had to left-align or else every time the song changed the 2nd line changed sizes and that started to drive me effing CRAZY. Not entirely enamoured with things, but we're closer now than ever before.

Sweeeet look. I tried to copy yours, looks like it's gonna be a lot of work to get it to run on my laptop .

I can't make it display any differently. Yet another shortcoming of conky

[etnlIcarus]

Well, thanks. Might see if I can at least make it more subtle.

Edit: Nope, rss resizes the window. I can't even crop it at the sides.
