[SOLVED] Top name function in my conky

[dollyp]

I have the following (repeating 1-5) line in my conky

Code: Select all

${offset 20}${top name 1}${goto 220}${top cpu 1} ${goto 274}${top mem 1}

${top name #} is often too long for the space and overwrites the following variables on the line. Is there a way to restrict it's length to a specific or maximum length?

Also is it possible to have it refresh less often?

Thanks

from the manual:

Code: Select all

       top_name_width
              Width for $top name value (defaults to 15 characters).

That's a global config variable.

Thank you. Finding and changing that variable sorted my problem.

I also found the answer to my other query about slowing down the refresh rate. That is the variable update_interval and changing it from 1 to 1.2 made the difference for me.
