Reviewed the faq and searched around a bit but did not find anything. On the wallpapers I like I can barely see the info and then only part of it so I would like to try some different font colors to find one that will show up. Thanks in advance. By the way the newest FAQ update looks very good. coj __{{emoticon}}__

Using the editor of your choice open the file .conkyrc

Find the lines dealing with color, in mine, they look like this:

# Default colors and also border colors
default_color yellow
default_shade_color white
default_outline_color white

change the default color to whatever you want, save the file and conky should show the new color.

also you can specify different colors for lines of your choice by adding" {color 9a9a9a}" to the beginning of the line
EG: {color 9a9a9a}Hostname: $alignr$nodename

The color you specify can be written in normal text, but I find html color codes to work much better

Sorry for the delayed response but thanks much for the how to's they were just what I needed.
