[SOLVED] It looks bad conky

I need help again            xD
I try to add a calendar to my Conky configuration but always looks bad
the calendar that I try to to add is the following

<SNIP>

####
## My colors.
#
color0 White
color1 Ivory
color2 Ivory2
color3 Ivory3
color4 Tan1
color5 Tan2
color6 Gray
color7 AntiqueWhite4
color8 DarkSlateGray
color9 Black

TEXT

<SNIP>

should look like this

Have a look at the conky calendar thread - your issues may have already been addressed.

Re: [SOLVED] It looks bad conky

Add the calendar stuff right after TEXT and before your SISTEMA line:

TEXT

  I don't think conkyForcast is working any more, at least not for me.  So if you want Sunrise Sunset times may I suggest one of Teo's weather scripts.  2b_Wunderground_API looks good in my time conky :

Colour is a different issue ... you have a default colour of black with orange outline and black shades.  The orange outline overrides the shade colouring.

default_color black #orange
draw_shades yes
default_shade_color black

draw_outline yes
default_outline_color orange

draw_borders no

draw_graph_borders yes

2015_12_30_15_29_22_Scrot11.jpg

Dropping the orange 'outline' and leaving the black 'shadow' give a black on black look, not very effective:

default_color black
draw_shades yes
default_shade_color black

draw_outline no
default_outline_color orange

draw_borders no

2015_12_30_15_22_03_Scrot11.jpg

Using default: black with orange shades gives a chiselled effect but not very readable:
2015_12_30_15_29_22_Scrot11.jpg

shaded and outlines should be used to enhance, IMO, the readability of the conky - therefore they should contrast  soooooo changing default colour to orange with a black shade ...

default_color orange #black
draw_shades yes
default_shade_color black

draw_outline no
default_outline_color orange

draw_borders no

draw_graph_borders yes

2015_12_30_15_31_09_Scrot11.jpg

Play with those and see what happens.

Re: [SOLVED] It looks bad conky

the colors are not a problem
the problem is that when you add the code to the calendar, everything looks bad

f09f5b6c275d7300502974d4d5c41eeeo.jpg

without the code of the calendar, Conky looks normal

9f5f9564d7fb9421fe8a2807b5ce7528o.jpg

all I want is to see a calendar on conky
I have tried different codes and nothing works well
I do not know if something that is lacking install on my pc

Re: [SOLVED] It looks bad conky

conkyForecast is dead.
I have the temperature of Santiago inserted through weather.noaa.gov.

Their color does not please me. How S11 said, difficult to read.
From here: https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 8007#p8007
I have you yet commented out a more modern form of the calendar is inserted. Maybe when you are not correct, the distances and you need to correct the still.

Re: [SOLVED] It looks bad conky

aleex5, your conky was using colors: color4, color3, color8 etc. that haven't been defined, therefor it defaulted to white.
(also see here and here)
i know removed these extra colors:
