[Solved] help with conky script

Meskarune · 2010-11-01 05:12:08

Just updated conky, and now my calendar script isn't rendering correctly. There are boxes in front of every line and the numbers are pushed out to the side.

This is the script I'm using to render a calendar with the date highlighted white:

${font DejaVu Sans Mono :size=10}${execpi 60 DJS=`date +%_d`; cal | sed s/"$DJS"'\b'/'${color #ffffff}'"$DJS"'$color'/ | sed s/^/'${offset 20}'/}

This worked perfectly yesterday before updating conky. Anyone know how I can fix this?

You should post the entire conkyrc.

The changelog has a relatively recent release with "fix for indentation" http://conky.sourceforge.net/changelog.html - that may be relevant.

Wildcard: have you tried removing the space between Mono and :size?

Ran into this the other day. If you're using a script to generate that, I'm pretty sure it has to do with the newlines appended to each line. Not sure how to fix it, however.

Hey, thanks for the info (and moving of this thread, I wasn't sure where to post it)

I ended up using this script: http://conky-pitstop-fr.wikidot.com/mobilediesel#toc4

Works really well and looks nice too!
