When you go this this webiste: http://www.teejeetech.in/p/conky-manager.html you see when you scroll down that there's a theme package available with more conky's. Download that file and import that theme package in conky-manager.

The code is saved in an "rc" file that can be named anything really, and you instruct conky to use the rc file thusly:

Code: Select all

conky -c /path/to/rc
Advice: Don't expect anyone else's rc file to work out of the box for you.
Except for the most basic RCs, they will need to be "adjusted", trust me.

Code: Select all

conky -c /path/to/.cronkyrc
If you are logging in as "mint" then

Code: Select all

conky -c /home/mint/.cronkyrc
