Colors on Conky mode don't work #424

With the --conky option, no matter which colors i have on my conkyrc, the agenda or calendar just shows yellow and blue 2019-02-23-204320_326x143_scrot

Can you say what version you're on (and what version of Python?).

FWIW, I can seem to set the colors just fine using conky mode in the conky file:

${execpi 1000 gcalcli --lineart=ascii --conky agenda --color-date=red}

^^^ that works just fine for me to make the dates red, for example. So it may be that the issue is specific to the interaction with the config file.

Your example code worked okay on conky. color-date, color-owner, and color-reader worked okay on conky too.

Maybe OP was trying the conky color codes instead of gcalcli color args? He/she should disable gcalcli colors to use conky color code, otherwise default colors would be used same as the screenshot.

# conky.conf
...
${color orange}${execpi 600 gcalcli --nocolor --conky agenda}${color}

Setting color-date=red would work, but it only works with preset determined basic colors in gcalcli like red, green, blue, yellow and white. It would be nice/expected/awesome to be able to use just hex-colors, because all the primary colors look, well, awful.
