I've booted to live quite a few times so far. A couple of times, on different hardware, Conky is corrupted.

Can the conky be aligned to the top-right corner?
Of course, a single click with Conky Manager takes care of it. I would rather see the install icon be moved if possible (top center?) so that the screen's balance lower R, upper L) is retained.

I don't think we can move the installer icon. If so, its tricky. I'll look into it.

Could you have more than one version of Gotham ticked in Conky Manager, with your sessions saved on logoff?

I have time now to look at it, and will get back.

OK, not too bad after you've seen a few of these:

--I started by selecting as you did to reduce the name of the month to the short form, and got the same mess you did.
--I used the list of Time Formats in Scripts to identify the code for day of the week: A
--looked for the offset in front of that, found ${offset -200}
--changed that number to -250, saved--and it was worse, meaning I had it going the wrong way
--changed it again to -150, and it looked pretty good

Hope this is clear as a procedure.

It was as it appeared from a live boot, so no.

I saw this happen over-write once. But as soon as I moved it with ALT+right click it went away.

Good observation: the background window (visible when transparency=opaque) might be interfering again.

@chris: here is the TEXT portion of what I ended up with:

Code: Select all

In MX-Core blue, the script needs to be corrected by changing "undecorate" to "undecorated"

Code: Select all

own_window_hints undecorated,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below
Also, the Syslog command is not working, but I don't know how to fix it

Code: Select all

${execi 10 tail -n6 /var/log/syslog | awk '{print " ",$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10}' | fold -w40}
What we would like to see is what you get with this bash command:

Code: Select all

sudo cat /var/log/syslog | tail
