Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

Obviously NOT the piece of "Don't step in it!" you were talking about.

Couldn't find the wallpaper, that place is harder to navigate than an underwater cave with only 2 minutes of air left.

Come on share it with me.

I should have known you'd have a guide at Conky Hardcore! :facepalm:

Oh, and what does CHIMO! mean? I would like to think it stands for "Conky Hardcore, IMO!"

Not quite but that's very good!

CHIMO is derived from the Inuktitut language. According to folklore, when two people met on the Canadian Arctic tundra, they rubbed their chests in a circular motion and said, "Chimo" , meaning "Are you friendly?" The answer was a repeat of the gesture and the word "Chimo!" ("Yes, I am friendly!)

The salutation has been adopted by the Canadian Military Engineers (CME), without the "chest thumping and rubbing", at least, most of the time, and when two engineers (or more) meet, the word will be definitely heard.

If you, on parting company with an engineer after first meeting her/him, - have been accorded the parting word "CHIMO", then be assured you have made a new friend, and have been deemed worthy to be a friend to the Canadian Military Engineer "Family."

CHIMO!

Try other things for wireless- say eth0 or eth1. On my system I have eth1 for wireless. Also, what icon theme are you using? I don't get what you mean for 1).

Thanks for responding idigchess

I am using ALLBLACK icon theme

http://www.gnome-look.org/content/sh...?content=70630

I developed that trash icon though

Regarding conky...I tried eth0 eth1 wlan0...I will try wlan1 and post back

Regarding the cpu% mem% alignment, the changing values under cpu% and mem% are not aligned as per their column caption and those values are not displayed in an aligned manner. They keep moving left and right as the values change.

I am sorry for my english

[Mr_420]

yayy....wlan1 worked for me..thank you very much my friend

*snip*

That's because conkyForecast in its normal form only supports a 4-day forecast; there's a small tweak you can do to it to get 7 days: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...postcount=1508

The alignment is because you're not using a mono-spaced font. Conky aligns things based on number of characters, not actual character width. I would recommend using whatever font you want for most of it, and then for the bits that need specific lining up (e.g. for the cpu% and mem%), use a monospace font. There are some good ones out there; I like saxMono and Everson Mono Latin 6. Both can be found on dafont.com. Or you can always use Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, which is quite nice and comes with Ubuntu.
