Lite Widget displayed off-screen - timbuck2 - 05-09-2021

I enabled the Lite Widget on the 5.4 release but it is displayed almost entirely off-screen.  Here is a picture of what is happening.

What should I do to get the widget readjusted on-screen?

Also, how would I move the widget to the second monitor?

Can you please screenshot both monitors with the Lite Widget enabled.

Re: Lite Widget displayed off-screen - timbuck2 - 05-10-2021

Ok, here is what it looks like.  Primary monitor on the right where the widget is off-screen.  Secondary monitor to the left where I would like the widget to be displayed.

If  I edit the line shown below in /etc/conky-lite/widget

to read "bottom_left"  instead of " bottom_right" I get this on the screen with the widget enabled.  Still not on the secondary monitor.

So I don' t know where to go after that.

So is this fixable to get on-screen on the right and on the second monitor or should I forget about it?

I'm curious ... does the task bar show on the screen?
Perhaps the resolutions for the monitors are the same - but need to be different... Makes sense with default its off screen to the right - is the taskbar/time missing as well...
If you can, use a lower resolution on the primary/screen on right...

I've had to do this in Linux and Windows depending on laptop and external monitors...

maybe worth a try

Undo whatever settings you have. Edit /etc/conky-lite/widget as Admin and change the:

Code:
# Gap between borders of screen and text
# Same thing as passing -x at command line
gap_x -375
gap_y 65

numbers until you get what fits. If Lite Widget ever gets updated, it will over write your custom values so make sure after your changes, you make a backup of the widget file. As you can see, you can use negative numbers too.

Ok, thanks, that worked.
