question
I am running the conky for 4.0 in NOP 4.0, The only conky config file i can find is in usr/ect/conky its the default and has alignment bottom left but opens in the top right, I have changed colors and stuff but it has no effect .I cant find the config file in /usr/local/etc/conky/ could it be anywhere else ?
Its a hidden file. (click the "eye" in rox.)
Code: Select all
/root/.conkyrc

Is there a possibility to position conky elsewhere?
I use gnome with a top bar and it covers conky. (1.61)

Yep. You can tell it which corner to use. Additionally, you can give it x and y offsets, to account for taskbars and what-not.
The file to edit is /root/.conkyrc.
With this particular package, the lines you're interested in are #70 - #78, which look like this:
Lots of other stuff in there that you can play with.

Hi all, first post here, hopefully with some helpful tips for those that want to use transparency with Conky 1.6.1 in Puppy 4.0
I have a fresh Puppy 4.0 running on my small born again IBM 600E laptop with Conky 1.6.1 (My big 'puter runs Fedora 9)
I followed the instruction in post one, adding the two extra pets "libxcb and libidn" (I have qiv-2.0 in as well and haven't tried this below without it)
When installing Conky 1.6.1 an instruction file opens telling us to add two lines into /root/.xinitrc
So I grabbed a second copy of my background pic and renamed it from nwosucks.jpg to "ROX-background.jpg", then adding it into the..
/root/Choices/
Reboot, then hey presto, zero blinking and clear transparency.
Below is my conky config geared towards wifi use (WG511 v2 card)

aussierod - superior!! I just wish i saw that two hours ago when i first started trying to install Conky...
thanks
aussierod, thanks
I'm writing from a Puppy 4.1, full installation.
I followed your suggestions in these steps:
installed a clean Puppy 4.1, after Conky 1.6.1 and for last applied your trick about /root/Choices/ROX-background.jpg.
/root/.conkyrc leaved as the default
Now conky works well as expected.
Below you see my desktop attached.
Thanks again

I would think that you could substitute any path and any acceptable image and it would work. I haven't tried it yet, but currently I'm using the .bmp that I'd used under Win98. If it has to be a .png, well, I can always use The Gimp on my Fedora desktop to change the format.

I was right. The location and filename used are just an example; you can use anything you want. (It makes sense, BTW; if it had to be a specific name and location, you wouldn't have to put it on the command line.)
However, there's one, small detail left: my background image is a B&W drawing, and Conky doesn't show up too well. Does anybody know where there's a listing of the names of the colors Linux uses, preferably with examples?

What a strange beast, did you compile the kernel yourself? How can you sleep wasting all those cpu cycles on reporting the weather in rob's backyard?
