Ok so I am editing my conkyrc,
Going well. I want to install some ttf fonts into it but I dont know how to select one font for the conkyrc file?
Full Version: Conky And .ttf
You're going to need a place for your fonts in your home folder. So navigate to your home folder and add the directory .fonts. In this folder you place all of your ttf fonts. I like Pizzadude fonts myself. Now when you go to use the fonts, conky will know the fonts are in the .fonts folder. Here are some examples on how to use these fonts, now that they are available:
${font Radio Space:size=14}${time %A %d %Y}
${font Radio Space:size=40}${time %H:%M}
${font PizzaDude Bullets:size=16}v${font} Up: ${upspeed eth1} Kb/s
${font PizzaDude Bullets:size=16}r${font} Down: ${downspeed eth1} Kb/s
${font PizzaDude Bullets:size=16}M${font} Upload: ${totalup eth1}
${font PizzaDude Bullets:size=16}S${font} Download: ${totaldown eth1}
Hope this helps
This page show's some pretty cool things, especially parser for conky to check your gmail account.

I figured it out.
I installed the conky weather and its sorted now. The Ubuntu Image I sorted I found the website I got them from had them listed in an order including the details for each font so I could select them.
The one problem I have though is my desktop icons are invisible whilst conky is running, If you move mouse over them they will appear but dissappear as soon as you move away from them.

Try adding this to the beginning of your conky file:
own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes

Excellent work Loki!
Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot.
No problem.
Loki, Its cut my weather info off the bottom.

That makes it overlap the break/title part (the top line) as the icon of the forecast is offset to display.
what resolution is the screen?
I think your voffset is doing this. Maybe changing these around will solve the problem

Its 1440x900, Its only happened since I inserted that text to stop it affecting icons, I think its the transparent window rules, when I restart it, you can briefly see it in black and it is ended just under the last line of text displayed.
It is possible that could be it.
Is there anyway to edit the size?
Maybe something like this:
use_spacer none
maximum_width 250
minimum_size 100 788
short_units yes
use_spacer none
maximum_width 250
minimum_size 100 788
short_units yes
Cheers Loki, I tried that but it was no good, I played around with variables but it was no good.
I fixed it though. I simply added blank lines after end of code. Sorted

Awesome. That was going to be my next suggestion. Nice learning experience though.
Definitely, Now I have problems with the icons. Its adding around 4 of them and they are junk?
Never mind its late now.

When you get time, what kind of fonts are you using?
I scrapped that conky, Going for a neater look.
I am having soome odd behaviour though.
The bars move as the data updates?
Here is my conkyrc. its still a work in progress.

Are you stating it moves once or keeps moving as the cpu is taxed more?

They al move as the values change inside the bars
Make your Conky display wider by manipulating the:
use_spacer none
maximum_width 250
minimum_size 100 788
short_units yes
Manipulate this number to make Conky wider.

Sorry I didnt get back. It was very late when I was posting last night.
Anyway I played around with those figures but it didnt seem to fix it. I changed the layout of it now.
The first is CPU average load
The second is Mem average load
The third is free space on /HDA 1
The fourth is wireless connection quality
The fifth is Battery charge average.
What you think? It does still shift the images but I think its to do with the figures changing?

It probably is just because the figures are changing. It looks pretty good. Definitely original. But the question is, do you like it?
think conky is too limited to do much more without over complicating things.
Yeah I like it. I will mod it some more though :)

Nice little conky theme here.
