Updated conky to work in puppy 4 (Dingo).

The trouble is, there is no "ROX-background.jpg" installed into that location while installing Conky 1.6.1xli -fillscreen -onroot /root/Choices/ROX-background.jpg
conky -d
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.
Another reason to forego the eye candy.sideburns wrote:However, there's one, small detail left: my background image is a B&W drawing, and Conky doesn't show up too well.
Short answer: yes.Does anybody know where there's a listing of the names of the colors Linux uses, preferably with examples?

You don't need two instances of conky running to accomplish what you've just described. FYI, I run mine from ~/.xinitrc just before starting my window manager. YMMV.DC wrote:Why two ? - top right of screen - CPU,MoBo, GPU, HDD temperatures bottom right of screen - weather forecast
