Removing desktop time and cpu usage icon, widget, or whatever it is
Removing desktop time and cpu usage icon, widget, or whatever it is
Just trying 17.1 and really appreciate responsiveness in contrast to a kde install on another partition
Just one thing that niggles me - can't seem to find anything in desktop settings, or elsewhere for that matter, to get rid of the huge date and time display on the desktop (which also includes a cpu usage display). Want to get rid of the lot.
Can you help?

Excellent thank you. Didn't even know I had anything Conky-related that was enabled. Told you I was new to MX

If you want to prevent it from starting at subsequent boots, use Conky Manager from the Whisker menu, click the 'gears' icon at the top-tight, and slide the Start-up toggle to Off.

If the updates have been installed, the toggle also disables autostart.chrispop99 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 11, 2018 9:19 am If you want to prevent it from starting at subsequent boots, use Conky Manager from the Whisker menu, click the 'gears' icon at the top-tight, and slide the Start-up toggle to Off.

I must have missed that change; it makes much more sense like that!dolphin_oracle wrote: ↑Mon Jun 11, 2018 9:38 am If the updates have been installed, the toggle also disables autostart.

Re: Removing desktop time and cpu usage icon, widget, or whatever it is
Thanks for the tip. BTW, my Conky Manager is v2.4, running on MX 17.1. In my version, there does not appear to be a "Gears Icon" - it is just a drop down menu with an unlabelled arrow in it that brings up the Settings dialogue. Same result though.chrispop99 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 11, 2018 9:19 am If you want to prevent it from starting at subsequent boots, use Conky Manager from the Whisker menu, click the 'gears' icon at the top-tight, and slide the Start-up toggle to Off.

Re: Removing desktop time and cpu usage icon, widget, or whatever it is
I'm having the opposite problem, i want the display so I went as directed to conky toggle and found what I wanted after previewing it and going through the list. But once I click ont he selection box to the left of the list nothing else happens and there appears to be no way to get it to display on my desktop. I don't know why it disappeared in the first place.
