Conky text overflowing - LXLE OS Help and Support Threads on LXLE forums

OtakuN3rd

Earlier this evening I got LXLE 32-bit revisited installed on my recently fixed Dell Latitude D620. I am seeing a glitch or configuration error with Conky that I have not seen before - the text is over flowing from the bubble/window/whatchamajigger. I believe this happened after I installed the proprietary Nvidia drivers for the Quadro chip in the laptop. I do see a battery monitor on it that I don't recall from previous editions. I know enough to realize the background is just a .png image, but as for what to do to alter the displayed info or enlarge the .png image I am not sure what to do. Please advise, thanks! (see screen shot for details)

Edit the .conkyrc file...

...by changing the H component in $image ...-s 153x275 (was 153x255) in file ~.conkyrc file.

lxle

it could also be either nvidia drivers renders that particular font differently or the system wide font was changed.

Thanks for the replies! Anonymouse52, your info put me on the right track, I ended up having to use 153 x 330 instead of 255 or 275. As for the system font, it is still set to Liberation Sans, so it must be a rendering difference. Either way, its a lot better. Thanks!

On a side note, while I was there I changed it to monitor wlan0 instead of eth0.

Howdy, Stranger!
