[SOLVED] conky gap problem

Hello, in my conky window there is a huge gap at the bottom for some reason, I am trying to make it align in middle_right, but it's always above the middle line due to the gap.

Please post the contents of /home/kaizoku/.conky/currency.sh

*cough* Let me guess...Someone on the Ubuntu forums said you should ask the guys on the Arch forums, right?

Anyway, this sentence I don't understand very well.

I am trying to make it align in middle_right, but it's always above the middle line due to the gap.

/home/kaizoku/.conky/currency.sh

Well I posted here because it seems to have more support on conky

Anyways I meant like due to the gap on the bottom, it doesn't vertically align properly; it looks like bottom part has more gap than top part. I am trying to align it middle vertically.

Re: [SOLVED] conky gap problem

Add blank lines to the top and see if it evens out. Conky is senseless.

Re: [SOLVED] conky gap problem

try

alignment mr

Or you could just put top right and then increase gap_y value till it looks about right

I believe mr is same as middle_right, gap_y seems to work too, but is there a "proper" way of fixing it?

Re: [SOLVED] conky gap problem

One quick thing. Can you post your:

/home/kaizoku/.conky/conkyForecast.template
&
/home/kaizoku/.conky/pmupdate.sh

As I am trying to set up my conky a bit better. I am in the process of setting up conkyforecast now.

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] conky gap problem

I am using ubuntu, you might want to use the pmupdate that riivo posted http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 01#p549301 which I got most of my setup from with some changes.

pmupdate.sh

#!/bin/sh

sudo pacman -Sy > /dev/null

output=`pacman -Qu`
numofup=`echo "$output" | grep Targets | sed 's/Targets (\([0-9]*\).*/\1/'`

if [ -n "$numofup" ]; then
    sizeofup=`echo "$output" | grep "Total Installed Size" | cut -d ':' -f 2 | sed 's/^ *//'`
    echo "$numofup ($sizeofup)"

else
    echo "up-to-date"

fi

conkyForecast.template

${voffset -10}${alignr 56}${font ConkyWeather:style=Bold:size=40}[--datatype=WF]${font}
${voffset -50}${font Weather:size=40}y${font}  ${voffset -38}${font Arial Black:size=26}[--datatype=LT]${font}
