How do I reposition Conky?

  • 772

I successfully installed the "Gotham" Conky on my 12.04 desktop using these instructions

It works perfectly, positioned in the top-right side of my desktop, and I am happy every day of the week except "Wednesday". Because of the length of the word "Wednesday", unfortunately the "y" trunctates off the screen (to the right).

I would like to reposition the conky, (preferablably keep it Top-Right) but nudge it to the left so the "y" is visible on the screen.

Any "how to" instructions will be gratefully received.

    In the .conkyrc the alignment on the screen is is set to top_left:

    alignment top_left
gap_x 60
gap_y 300

    Simply change the alignment to top_right instead of increasing the gap_y variable:

    alignment top_right
gap_x 60
gap_y 60

    config file settings

    alignment Aligned position on screen, may be top_left, top_right, top_middle, bottom_left, bottom_right, bottom_middle, middle_left, middle_middle, middle_right, or none (also can be abreviated as tl, tr, tm, bl, br, bm, ml, mm, mr). See also gap_x and gap_y.
