[Bug]: color ignored on local, rendered on X11Forward

[BETLOG]

[edit] improved screenshot and supplied .conf example.

What happened?

Specified color ranges for graphs do not render on locally invoked conky, but DO render when the same script is X11Forwarded from another machine via ssh -X <remote> conky

Version

conky 1.18.0 compiled 2023-02-20 for Linux x86_64

Which OS/distro are you seeing the problem on?

Ubuntu

I can't reproduce this locally, in XWayland at least. The provided conky config shows a small graph with a very dark grey CPU bar, as I would expect for #222222. What do you see with this conkyrc locally, and what do you see running it over ssh -X?

In your screenshot, what conkyrc is being used, which instances are local and which are via ssh -X, and how does it specify the ${cpugraph}?

Then it's only failing in X11.

The provided conky config shows a small graph

I isolated a relevant element from the conky shown in the screenshot. To keep things simple.

What do you see with this conkyrc locally

The one failing: conky at right of screenshot

and what do you see running it over ssh -X?

conky with color working: at left and middle of screenshot

In your screenshot, what conkyrc is being used, which instances are local and which are via ssh -X, and how does it specify the ${cpugraph}?

Again; the relevant info is present in the conky snippet provided.

The full conky is generared by bash, and I'm trying to avoid any topic distraction by posting it. Suffice it to say there is nothing special about how the color is defined; it's exactly like I have shown in the example. It should not be failing. But it is.

I have also noticed that problem on all my machines since I upgraded them from Kubuntu 22.10 to Kubuntu 23.04 (coming with conky 1.18.0). All the graphs (cpugraph, diskiograph, downspeedgraph) are now black and grey, instead of having nice color gradients.

${cpugraph cpu0 0000FF FF0000 -t}

The problem is present both with X11 and Wayland.

Yep, also Kubuntu 23.04:

Try the latest HEAD ${cpugraph cpu0 0000FF FF0000 -t} works for me:

Colors came back when I updated my system from Kubuntu 23.04 to 23.10 (conky 1.19.4). Thanks

Closing this then. Reply if you need this issue reopened in future.
