I see the Conky theme MX-KoO/MX-Full shows kb/s beside the Ethernet and Wireless up & down rates, but the Ethernet speed is still being displayed as KB/s.
A typo in the config file I'd say, changing that in any Conky theme makes no difference to how the speeds are shown, as with your example above, it's only what text is to be placed/viewed beside the speed readout & can be anything.
I also believe it could be done with an LUA script, and I also have no idea how to go about that, lol.
Researching this I found a couple of guides on configuring Conky to use LUA's but I don't understand scripting or coding & cannot understand how to make it work without help.
Up until recently I was using the Xfce panel with the network monitor plugin which could be set to display speeds as b/s by checking the "Show values as bits" setting.
Now I use Plank instead & created a very simple Conky theme for time, date, CPU usage, upload and download speeds.
I'm used to seeing the up/down speeds shown as b/s, I hate doing the conversion in my head and would much rather just see at a glance the up/down speeds in b/s.
I did try [wireless_bitrate eth0] and several variations of that while experimenting, but it seems it's only for wireless connections and made no difference with anything I tried.
Thanks for the replies too by the way

Without the
UKIJSaet font it'll probably default to Open Sans as that was in config file I used to begin with.
Might also have to change 'eth0' to the desired device.
