Conky slightly offscreen [SOLVED]

I just got LMDE running on my new eeepc. So far really, really happy with it. I use Openbox, and have set up conky for the first time, (using the 6th config file here:
http://conky.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html). But conky shows up slightly off screen, and maybe I'm an idiot but I don't see where in .conkyrc to shove it over a few pixels.
Thanks very much!

stozi:
6th where on that screen?
I checked
this one
Code: Select all
# conky configuration

Open your local copy of conkyrc file in gedit/kate/vi/whatever and adjust
gap_x
NN
gap_y
NN
where
NN is the number of pixels from the position "alignment" is set to.
darcon's is set to:
Code: Select all
gap_x 450
gap_y 1
alignment top_left
gap_x here is 450 pixels from left.
gap_y here is 1 pixel from the top so he must moved his panel somewhere other than the top of the screen.
for example:
alignment tm
gap_x 00
gap_y 40
gap_x here is 00 pixels from top-middle
and gap_y is 40 pixels down from top-middle.
gap_x is left-right adjustment
and gap_y is up/down from the alignment placement.
NOTE: Make these changes in gedit and save the file, there is no need to close it as conky will read it and refresh accordingly.
close it once it's "perfect".
If that fails post your
gap_x
gap_y
alignment
from the conkyrc file you have on your system.
HTH.

Great, Thanks!! Ya, you got the .conkyrc I meant. With alignment top-left I just set gap_x to 400 and everything's gravy (one pixel off the right side, don't ask me).
