Pwidgets -Latest version

#1 Post by Tui »

I havebeen workinking with the latest of Pwigets for a couple of hours
now and find things some what unstable! I am not sure where the problem lies.

I have included a screen shot.

With trying various combinations of colours for the widgets, seethro' and without
the vertical RHS shad with and without colour. So I have it working nice
seethro' and then I introduce CONKY down bottom side only to find the
other widgets now have a black background - what I don't !

I then go back and change the widgets to see thro again. and off I go.

It looks like there is not enough seperation between Pwidgets and Conky.

Any solutions please?

Thanks Tui

Tui, Pwidgets IS Conky - and if your screenshot is any guide then you're currently running 2 instances!! That's gotta hurt your system's resources!

There is no problem that can't be avoided by reading the documentation first! (I never thought I'd have to resort to RTFM, but there you go ... everyone has their limits)! :roll:

Hi,

there's actually NO PROBLEM as whodo said...actually most of pwidgets' widgets are conky! and what we have now in pwidgets is tweaked conky.....which the config in the original conky is not tweaked...is kind of overlapping...

Hmmm ...

Recent pwidgets is using a version of conky tweaked for the ROX Desktop. Please use own_window_type roxdesktop in your conkyrc.

... and perhaps open the Weather config and change ¨height=85¨ to 90... (that´s my bad)
