widget display issue #44

Open Infraviored opened 1 year ago

Infraviored commented 1 year ago

Maybe this is the wrong place to ask. But I can not fix the issue that every widget I want to start has background problems.

e.g. https://github.com/closebox73/Taurus, the alcyone widget - up to date and very simple

Every time is start, the text of the widget is visible but the background is very bad. I am using Conky manager v2.73, but also running the shell manually has the same issue.

conky: desktop window (a00010) is subwindow of root window (26e)
conky: window type - desktop
conky: drawing to created window (0x3600001)
conky: drawing to double buffer
/home/flo/.config/conky/Alcyone/scripts/wthr2: line 17: =: No such file or directory

What could be the issue here?

It looks like this will be a problem: /home/flo/.config/conky/Alcyone/scripts/wthr2: line 17: =: No such file or directory

You will have to extract this entire conky config to that absolute file path: /home/flo/.config/conky/

That config is using hard coded file paths. You must put the config files in the correct location.

You should manually extract the conky config to that location, and then using the conky-manager2 you can add this additional path using the "Settings" menu -> "Locations"
