I kept it at an old version because of nvidia problems with flying windows through the desktop. 535 was generally the worst driver ever. Whatever problems they had, they had them fixed in 545 and as of today I'm with 550.54.14, it arrived a few hours ago.
Post a screenshot and the config of your Conky
- Thread starter rado84
- Start date
weird how some have different problems with drivers, for me 535 has been solid

I have only recently learned about conky, after 2 days of playing with it here is what I come up with...
In addition to required update if you want to reuse it, to get SSD temperature it's required to modprobe drivetemp on startup.

To start with, I reverted from the BDE wall paper back to my old one because it's much less distracting.
I deliberately chose a conky layout and single color that are very subdued because I wanted it to be "visible but not distracting" rather than "eye catching". It's offset from the left hand edge of the screen just enough to not overlay the icon bar (which is -not- part of the conky display). While I fiddled with some elements that were (maybe) nicer looking, I decided to stick with this low key setup.

]]I typically wouldn't repost for such a minor change, but I want to show what is apparently an interesting optical illusion: The background (wallpaper) image is the same as the screen shot in #46 above, but changing the conky display to a color that fits a little better with the background makes even the background appear a little less "green". Or am I imagining that? Or did the conversion to from .png to .jpg cause some kind of color leveling?
Other than the color change for conky, I think the only change is adding the Desktop label at the top, which is important because once the desktops are labeled, visibly or not, the "send to..." function (in jwm) only shows the desktop label, no longer the number. I find that the color change makes it unexpectedly much nicer.

I changed conky so many times in the past two years, I think it's time to share its config. No more topmem, though. That function is seriously limited, so I switched to "if_running". A little different logic than topmem, but at least the only thing that's limiting how many processes you're gonna keep track of is the space on your screen and the font (and size) you're gonna use.
The blur is from the desktop background image, conky itself doesn't support blur - AFAIK.

]];The blur is from the desktop background image, conky itself doesn't support blur - AFAIK.
I like your conky setup because it's not only good looking but it's also so easy to read... But I hate it because it's so easy to read... sometimes I confuse even myself.
I've spent a bit of effort "theming" the colors of my conky display to fit nicely with the colors of the wallpaper/background that I've been using pretty much forever - legible, but never distracting. But your example made me realize that maybe I'd gone a bit too far to the side of "not distracting" so I brightened up the text just a little bit to make it a little less squint-worthy but still not too distracting.

Wow! I just had some PTSD, flashing back to the days of trying to insert/position a picture in MS Word... I had to repost my previous reply four times before I got it right - and I wasn't even trying to do anything fancy with positioning. 
I don't keep lookin' at conky non-stop. But even so, I chose colors that don't hurt my eyes - for the cases when I need to keep lookin' at it.I like your conky setup because it's not only good looking but it's also so easy to read... But I hate it because it's so easy to read... sometimes I confuse even myself.

But if I keep lookin' at your conky longer than 20 seconds, I'm gonna have to visit an eye doctor...
I try not to position any windows on top of it (most of the time) so I can see it if there something I want check... but, yeah, I never ogle it for more than a few seconds at a time.
Oops - my bad - I'll edit the config into the post with my image. In the mean time, I hope I wasn't otherwise being bad? I didn't mean to come off as critical of other folks prefs - just meant to show my own.

There are some nice looking clocks and calendars in that collection but, for me, a calendar that shows up when left- or middle-click the tray clock is more on point. Definitely old-school, but I guess that's me.Not mine, but interesting:
