I am not on my Laptop right now TBob. So I will throw this out there instead. I will post my .conkyrc files tomorrow.

**MikeTbob** · 07-31-2009

Interesting roky, is this just a test for conky colors?

**rokytnji** · 07-31-2009

Those are the color codes for .conkyrc file. Like where yours says

${cpugraph cpu0 16,200 ffffff ffffff}

you can substitute ffffff ffffff with another code off the chart to change the color. Whatever color the text is , next to the code, is the color that will display. I would not use # that is in front of the code number though.

**MikeTbob** · 07-31-2009

That's what I thought it was.......thanks for that, it has a lot of colors.
Come on people, I know ya'll got some funky looking conky's out there, lets have 'em.
