[solved]How to move "System" info on desktop?

Post by LANdpLAN »

The "System" information on the BWPUP desktop is very helpful however when i have the "ViewSonic" external monitor plugged in, it is mis placed and part of it is displayed on the laptop screen.
How can I move the "System" information to the left about 1cm when I have the Viewsonic monitor plugged in and leave it as it is when other monitors are in use.

In that case, edit this section in your .conkyrc file

Code: Select all

# Gap between borders of screen and text
# same thing as passing -x at command line
gap_x 75
gap_y 50

to suit your needs.

So, did that fix it?

Can use this to make edits.

JWMdesk ->Conky Settings ->Edit conkyrc

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o
