if you open a terminal in that folder and enter

Re: Conky Helps and Stuff
The contents of the 1_accuweather directory are extracted from the bunsenlabs forum link, and it's fine to leave that whole directory as a subfolder of your main $HOME folder.
That's not where your converted old syntax conky goes, if you want Conky Manager to detect and list it. Place your conky in $HOME/.conky folder.
The 1_accuweather folder just holds the script and weather info/fonts/pictures that a conky making reference to the accuweather script will use to display the weather info.

Re: Conky Helps and Stuff
With this interactive Conky, the various protocols of the system are displayed on the desktop with a mouse click.
[Logs] --> Protocol list --> [Close] and back [Close] --> [Logs]
I've marked each one with a red arrow.
There is also a video of it: http://youtu.be/SQVX3sgXdnA
Necessary is:
- conky-legacy-all (syntax 1.10 does not work)
- the packages xdotool and xwininfo (are here in MX18)
- the font Anonymous Pro
- the conkyrc of Sector11
- the Lua script s11buttons.lua
Make sure that the respective protocols are also available on your system ! Otherwise the Conky will crash. 7 years ago it looked a bit different on a Linux system.
Another path of these protocols is possible at two places in the lua script in the same form.

call in conkyrc in a similar manner to this
lua_load /home/mcdowall/lua/filename.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre draw_main
in the conkyrc you also need to add this setting
own_window_title click_log
or you can set your own window title then edit towards the bottom of the script
so that any instances of click_log are replaced with the title you set
avoid spaces in title name

Finally got down to trying this, but got this error message:

SInce the conky itself is straightforward, I'm guessing that the issue is in the lua script, which I am unfamiliar with. What parts do I change?
I note that the lua script references both a cpu0 and cpu1. That doesn't seem like too many cores, since my PC has a Intel Haswell CPU, which is 2 or 4 cores.
And inxi -F says my CPU is

The required information for your computer you're investigating:
