You can edit position via Conky manager...

select the page you want to move then click the edit widget tab (english key image)....do small adjust at a time ...try one setting,then another :wink:

Thanks ... I see its Ubuntu - launchpad PPA now I know why I don't use it. :D

I use YAD [zenity] and bash scripts to do basically the same thing - other than build the conky:

Move the conky - easy: [Alt]+left click+hold and drag moves the conky:

Please, no 'sir' - just another conky nut. If you want first name basis call me Sector or S11 :D

There's more, it works the same as any other open app in a window:
  1. [Alt]+[right-click-hold] - near the centre of a window (conky) - drag to move
  2. [Alt]+[right-click-hold] - near the edge|corner of a window (conky) - drag to re-size
  3. [Alt]+[left-click-hold] - anywhere in a window (conky) - drag to move

Not sure it's "showing off" - as there's no fancy wallpaper to move a conky into the center of the screen so you don't ever get to see it if you actually USE your computer...

Instead, I throw it all to the RIGHT and use the other 80%+ of the screen to actually get stuff done AND be able to see my conky info. I am very dependant on the calendar(s) especially!

This is the right-side of my 1920x1080 desktop:

The scripts use clock_rings.lua (which I slightly edited to reduce/eliminate the memory leak). Needed to compress due to forum issues with .lua files. Here that is:
clock_rings.lua.tar.gz
I used to have the "anowplaying.py" rigged for clementine (complete with blank cover.jpg when nothing was playing), but I moved to gmusicbrowser and use that programs overlay controls (much better, once one figures it all out). I have this on a couple of desktops and a laptop, so tweaking the offsets to get the rings' texts to line up is usually needed.

Finally, just a reminder this setup is completely FUNCTION over FORM. No fancy graphics that are hidden with the first window open, etc. In fact, when I play WOW (under Wine) I have it take up all of the screen BUT the conky area, and remove the titlebar/borders/etc. (love KDE) so it's like a "full screen" but only 80% and I can still have some desktop:

Nice ... did you make that wallpaper or did it come with Mint? I'm talking the "icons" with the lines to various bits of conky information. I see on your blog (can't read it) but you have the same wall with an Ubuntu icon in the centre.

It was question but I thought the "icon" images and lines were a part of the wallpaper ... I see now it is not ... it looks like a partially transparent image used in the conky..
Where you have LM in the centre I see on your blog there is one with Ubuntu.

See the stuff in green ... that has to be an image you made for the conky then. Very Nice Idea.
