LOL ,,,,,do you have
lm-sensors.

[/CODE]
installed?

VINNY

LM-sensosrs installed. not sure how to use this

virgil@reeser-20-b011:~$ sensors -f -u
radeon-pci-0008
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:
  temp1_input: 48.000
  temp1_crit: 120.000
  temp1_crit_hyst: 90.000

Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:
  temp1_input: 48.750
  temp1_max: 70.000
  temp1_crit: 100.000

It does show it's picking up something, but how do I use the info? Something of a control freak with the computer. maybe info-freak would be a better word

Got transparent working now. My cpu and hdd temp sensors don't seem to work. Or, I haven't figured out which ones they are. Not critical I guess, I printed a 6-digit hex code chart. Raced inkjet and laser. Gave inkjet 10 second head start and the laser still won.

I did not see "background no" in yours .

PS: any where you see "${color E40016}" the #'s can be changed ,,,,,,just use a color picker(like in system settings>applacation apperance>colors>colors and click a background,txt, color ) and use the HTML code you see for the color.

Changed own_window to normal and transparent works

[vsreeser]

Tried the things listed on the link. Still not transparent. There must be someting else overriding it.

Borrowed this from you. Can't get it transparent though. Added own_windows_transparent yes but no change

Here's what it looks like now

[vinnywright]

That worked. Will have to play with it a little to get columns of my top4 pids lined up, but that shouldn't be too hard

What I love about this forum is that someone always knows where to find the inf someone else is looking for

Trying to make the time and date large. Tried setting the size to 172 and nothing happened. It stays the same size as everything else. Barely starting to understand conky. I'm sure it uses some resources, but doesnt seem to slow the system much. It's already slow, but it was free (abandoned in a house father in law cleaned).
