No color setting possible inside the conky window #1854
-
Dears, might be this is a really small issue, I may just overlook something, but after about two weeks of trying, I have no further idea. I am running conky on a Raspberry PI 4B with an installed X11 and Lightdm I have disabled Wayland so I am really running X Conky is running fine, apart from I am unable to change the color settings inside the conky window. conky.text = [[ All text... etc. will be shown in black. I also tried directly in the text like shown below (different tries so different examples) Result: See above. Apart from the Windows color it seems no other color is set. I have tried some about 10 different configs from pages where one can download conky configs... Please find my current config below conky.config = { -- Various settings -- Placement -- Graphical -- Window -- Textual This is the conky versions and what was compiled in:
Any hint? Many thanks in advance for your kind help. |
