How difficult would it be to make a clock like this?

@ Mr. Peachy - Thanks for responding. I have been through that thread but don't remember seeing that. It has been a week or so since I was there though so I'll go back and take a little look. My memory is sometimes buggy (and I'm not talking about my computer memory). smile

Try using the same config from the conky on the right, just change the alignment.

Try changing:

# Draw shades?
draw_shades yes

to:

# Draw shades?
draw_shades no

Also:

# border margins
border_margin 3

border_margin is depreciated, it is now two commands:
Suggest:

# border margins
border_inner_margin 3
border_outer_margin 0

Hope that helps.

Ie tried that but theres no change. I just found its something with this line:

${font Zekton:size=20}${alignc}${time %A}${font Zekton:size=20}${alignc}${time  %B %d, %Y}

When I uncomment that then the shadow goes away. Maybe this is because of the font?

Edit:
When I change the font it cuts down on the shadow considerably but its still there.

No luck. I can minimize the shadow by changing the font of the last line but the only way to get rid of it is to uncomment that last line completely.

Well I'll be? It's a bug, OR blink just doesn't do "bars" I tried various.

It does do this:

${blink ${fs_used /}    /    ${fs_size /}}

Bummer

Comment this out - or change to no:

# Text stuff
# draw_outline yes # amplifies text if yes

So as soon as I read " B I N G O !! " The old mc donald song got stuck in my head...... so thanks a lot for that!
But as far as fixing the shadow it didnt change it at all. I een tried completely removing

# Text stuff
# draw_outline yes # amplifies text if yes

but nothing neutral

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I copied the conky you posted with the problem and stripped out enough to eliminate the problem as being below TEXT.

Then one by one commented out or changed the yes/no opions until:

Sorry about the song ...., and bingo was his nameo!

R U N!!!!!! lol lol

This did fix the problem but only after a reboot smile

# Draw shades?

I want to know why when I uncommented this it had the same affect without uncommenting the others lol......... I know I know..... just be happy with it working!

Sorry, the devil made me do it!

Something happened on the way from conky 1.8.0 to present, conky sometimes doesn't "refresh" correctly when you make adjustments and save. Best to do a KFC and restart the conky.

Glad it's working!
