keep in mind depending on the DE one is using own_window_type may need to be adjusted from desktop to dock. If you have to change it to dock (XFCE for sure) Then make sure to add own_window_hints so that section will look something like
own_window_type = "dock" <keep on the desktop
own_window_hints = "below" < keep below other windows

ya i got it working it showed nicely , but even registering at the weather service , it doesn’t show weather correctly.
so decided to just ditch it for now
conky is really full of crap lol (for me)

killall conky && conky &

doesn’t always reset it , no i have to reboot to take effect.
tired of conky now , came off a 12hr night shift i think ima need sleep lol

Yeah its not accurate for me either, it seems to be within 5 degrees so not to bad. If memory serves me right it took like a few days to get that close after I updated the City Id.

So I went on ahead and updated my conky with the more monocrome type icon set and made a new wallpaper with the monochrome logo

The icon set in conky, do we need to convert it to .png or now it can support .svg? Last I remember, need to convert it.

Ok so the OS logo icon in the conky is in original .svg format. The other icons I already had and converted over into a png format.

This is not my art… i ripped it off the net & applied a EOS logo on it. The logo, I also did not create myself. Oh yeah, I then centered it. Just FYI.

Still that monochrome logo with that tripped out space photo… so f*cking D0P3! :fire:

Warmest regards, to my purple club from Grand Rapids, Michigan!
