I had to switch tp pupy4 to get xorg to work on my lappy, si dingo is very new to me.
In puppy 301 conky was set up in .conky, but there is no .conky in dingo. Instead, it looks like there is an abreviated .conky like file called conk.conf.
I used ttuuxxx's compiled for puppy4 dot pet and conky opened and had the same display as is in the first picture.
Please excuse if I use the wrong terminology here, but I think you will get my point. Conky opens as if it is an application like say, a text editor. There is a button on the taskbar and a window for conky. The window has the -.min/max and close buttons as well as a rollup button. The window has it's own border and it's background is not transparent, black or at least dark.
So, If you would be so kind, how do I get conky to display and act like it does in 301? Is what I have described how conky is supposed to look/work in dingo or am I missing something needed so it will look "right"
If this is the only way conky works in dingo, will the older conky version that comes up transparent and uses a .conky file for it's configs work in dingo?
Thanks in advance, Chris.
P.S. OT, does anybody know if someone is making a gdesklets for dingo, or how to get the one for 301 to work in dingo? Again, Thanks,Chris.
The first version I posted had min/max buttons and borders, I then updated it without borders, but conky has a black background by default, if you want a transparent background you need to install "Qiv" its a puppy 3.0 series program you can install via petget on puppy 4.0, just click on puppy 3 files in petget, its a new feature.
the conky file your looking for, my version for series 4.0 is located /usr/local/etc/conky/conky.config
this is what the original untouched conky.config looks like
