conky process monitor resizing

I have set up conky to monitor the 6 top processes, using process name, id, cpu and memory. However, some process names are too long, or the values are different, and so the whole thing becomes out of shape. Also, when the process name gets too big, like avant-window-navigator, and the whole conky flashes and expands. Is there any way to stop this, or will it have to sty like that. here is the relevant part of my conkyrc:

Code: Select all

${color}PROCESSES ${hr 2}

${color}NAME $alignr PID      CPU      MEM
${color}${top name 1} $alignr ${top pid 1} ${top cpu 1} ${top mem 1}
${color}${top name 2} $alignr ${top pid 2} ${top cpu 2} ${top mem 2}
${color}${top name 3} $alignr ${top pid 3} ${top cpu 3} ${top mem 3}
${color}${top name 4} $alignr ${top pid 4} ${top cpu 4} ${top mem 4}
${color}${top name 5} $alignr ${top pid 5} ${top cpu 5} ${top mem 5}
${color}${top name 6} $alignr ${top pid 6} ${top cpu 6} ${top mem 6}

I've spaced some of it out and used alignc and alignr but sometimes the numbers jump out of line even though i fixed the resizing problem, by making conky bigger
