Yep that one, thanks

Shouldn't it be enough to just paste it to .conkyrc ? After running Conky it doesn't look too good

Sector11 · 2017-01-17 00:35:56

Yes, if you paste that to ~/.conkyrc it should be just fine.

On second though ... What desktop are you running? Some things change there.

### Color Settings #############
draw_shades yes <<<< --- change to no
default_shade_color 000000
draw_outline no # amplifies text if yes
default_outline_color 000000

to start with.

IF you have a conky that works well in your Debian setup, copy just what is below TEXT from the Bunsen conky to that conky and run it.

I made a .conkyrc file in /home, so it's the same i guess

But it looks very weird

Sector11 · 2017-01-17 00:43:16

See the red comment above.

Not all conkys run on all desktops or window managers - they frequently need tweaking.

My default ~/.conkyrc looks like this:

pawel2k · 2017-01-17 00:52:38

Ok i did it and it looks better, but still far from Bunsen config.

I thought it's gonna be a metter of copying cfg file

Do you have a working conky you can post?

With that black background it looks like conky is reading the root wallpaper.

Just a sec ...

Now start it with:

it will open in a "window" so you can close (stop) it like any other app.
Let's hope it looks like mine, if not we'll tweak it until it works.

pawel2k · 2017-01-17 01:31:10

It looks similiar, although fonts are much bolder.

Also after resizing the window, i have some strange artifacts in it, even if i restart Conky

And yes i have Conky-all installed.

OK we are getting somewhere.

but my question:

Are you running conky-all? and what version? If you don't know please post:

conky -v

Also in the "test.conky"
change:
own_window_type normal --- to
own_window_type desktop

I forgot to do that ... then rerun it.
If you have to resize the window you probably do not have "Liberation Mono" font installed.
Change that to a mono font you do have.

Spacing is built in to the actual command line for the calendar with a ${goto xxx} and the line must start with a matching ${goto xxx} ...

Here's the time and calendar section of my default conky you asked about:
