[SOLVED]Problems with Calendar in Conky

thedude85 · 2011-03-02 14:55:29

I'm using OpenBox with Conky, the conkyrc config file it's almost done but i'm having problems trying to configure a calendar, if i center the cal all the numbers will be centererd, the same if i align to right o left:

This is the part of the script:

CALENDARIO ${hr 1}

${alignc}${exec cal -m -1}

I want it to see the calendar with the number under the correct day, not everything centered, or everything right...

Try using monospace

thedude85 · 2011-03-02 16:11:59

Where do i change to monospace font in conkyrc?

kyla · 2011-03-13 20:53:15

Line 3:

xftfont Trebuchet MS:size=7

Replace Trebuchet with Monospace

This is my calendar rendering line for conky:

${font Inconsolata:size=13}${offset 40}${exec cal -m|head -n -1}${font}

Replace Inconsolata with your chosen fixed width font and change the font size and offset value to your liking. I used offset instead of alignc because the last line from the cal output is missing the trailing spaces, so it's narrower than the rest thus they can't be centered properly. head -n -1 is used to cut the last empty line from cal output.

Edit: If you change the default font with xftfont, you can omit the font tags.
