Conky widget not showing Xubuntu 18.04.3 LTS #11

Hi, thanks for the fork. Just did conky & conky-manager fresh install. Copied few themes from internet. When I try to change widget, it doesn't do anything. I guess it should preview widget or show them on desktop right? Themes however, changing desktop backgrounds (only?) successfully.

What should I do?

Hi @shinebayar-g, the manager will show a preview if the theme does correctly have a preview file, and it will only work correctly if the package has fully correct scripting for your system(for each included script as well as the .cmtheme file).

So, if it only does change a background, then it means there must be an error issue within any of the script files or the .cmtheme file is incorrectly scripted, -perhaps the included files path is incorrect. You can use the "Edit file in text editor" icon function to correct the problem.

Good luck, zcot
