You can make the color a little more greener by editing:
fg_colour={0x33bb00,1}

Do you know how it works?
33 = how much red
bb = how much green
00 = how much blue

Goes from 0 to F... (0123456789ABCDEF)

and the ,1 is transparancy.. goes from 0 to 1.
So 0.1 or 0.7 or 0.75 or 1 etc.

I think they are, except the Fan Speed one

If that's the last thing, we can fix that! Is the number of fanspeed not changing or the bar?
Can you open a terminal next to it, go to the tempfolder and start watch -d cat gpuinfo.tmp again.
Now change the fanspeed like you did last tiime and screen record it.

Hah.. indeed. I see in the watch that the fanspeed in rpm and % both change value, but in the conky window only rpm changes.
Fanspeed % is number 10 from the list.
Can you check in gpuinfo.lua in block bar for Fanspeed in the arg= line if the number 10 is called at the head part?

I suspect it is on 8 ;)

And your conky window has to come a little more to the left.. i'm missing text on the right side of the window. Or is that the screen recorder that doesn't show the edges of your screen??

Yes thank you, it's all working great

Just wondering though, is there a way to change the lettering slightly? For Core Clock, RAM, Temperature, Fan Speed, and GPU Load. They're slightly more bold than the letters in the CPU and Network one

Hah yeah, I'll move the Network one over just a touch

That's the font Bitsumishi. If you want the same font as the other conky windows you have to use Ubuntu-Title font. You get the same font as the name of the graphic card. If that is what you want then you have to change that in the conky script.

Find the lines that start with ${font Bitsumishi:size=10} and change that to ${font Ubuntu-Title:size=10}

Or any other font or size you like. If you want to have a bold font you add bold to it. Like ${font Ubuntu-Title:bold:size=10}

Yup, that did it. The other ones were using Rounded_Elegance it seems. But it's weird, it look almost the exact same now but it's just slightly different and I can't figure out why. I'll keep playing around with it to see if I can figure it out

Not sure if you can tell by the screen shot

From what i can see, they look exactly the same! In the other windows the text at the bars are all caps.. maybe it's that?
The color green of the bars could be a little more brighter green.. they look a little less bright then the originals.

And if you want it perfect, you can create a little more space between the text and the bars...
In gpuinfo.lua increase in every block the y=xxx value with 2 or 3 pixels.

Actually, I think you're right, the letters do look the same. Maybe the colour is slightly off? I'm not sure, but something looks off

Oh and speaking of colours, I noticed in one of the files you spelled it both ways, you used "color" and "colour". I was wondering if that had any affect on the blurred background part not working?

I see what you mean about the spacing, I'll definitely fix that

I never spell it as colour! That's french.. But the one who made the blurr script, if i'm correct, is from Portugal. So maybe that's why it is spelled different?
Why the blur didn't work was because it could not load the background image.. and what the reason of that was i have no idea. Then i have to dive into the code. But you have a black background, so it is pointless to use it.

Oh ok. Yeah I'm not concerned about it anyway, I just thought maybe that had something to do with it

Colour is not French at all but British English and color is US English.
French for colour is couleur
