[SOLVED] New Conky no likey right clicky

[SauronsMouth]

I took 4 separate Conkys and created a custom one that includes an Image of Sauron’s Mouth. When I first created it, I was able to right click on it and make some changes, like position, to it even though it, when right clicked displayed a warning ‘Partially Supported.’ I did a few tweaks in Geany as far as placement of the image and overall Conky and now right clicking the Conky does nothing.

Where did I go wrong and it is fixable?

Please share your new Conky code and filename…
It’s challenging to tell anything without it.

You can share your code easily by placing it between two lines of three backticks ```.

Not sure what was wrong, but I managed to have it work correctly by changing its position… from Conky Widget Manager, I also added color0 = '#e8cc2d', definition.

Image is not shown as I don’t have it on my disk. Also font looks different as I don’t have the one defined.

To be recognized as fully supported by Mabox Conky filename must end with _mbcolor.conkyrc

Try to replace it with this code:
LotrComb_mbcolor.conkyrc

conky.config = {

	own_window = true,
	own_window_type = 'desktop',
	own_window_transparent = false,

	own_window_colour = '#255c89',
	own_window_class = 'Conky',
	own_window_title = 'LotRComB Conky',

    alignment = 'top_right',
	gap_x = 30,
	gap_y = 60,

	color0 = '#e8cc2d',
    color2 = '#53ba6e',

	stippled_borders = 0,

	border_width = 1,

Also good idea is to always define:
color0, color1,color3 and maybe color3
Mabox convention is to use them like…

Color	used for
default_color	border color
color0	normal text
color1	normal text alternative color
color2	bars/graphs color
color3	bigger text (optional)

I’ll try to prepare an easy-to-use skeleton for Mabox’s Conky in the coming days.

But for now, I have to deal with the mess I made in the Theme Manager.

And I always have less time for Mabox development than I’d like

Part of my point was that editing placement of the Conky should NOT have any bearing on whether or not ‘Right Clicking’ works.
I was also able to get the right click to work simply by editing…
alignment = ‘top_right’,
gap_x = 30,
gap_y = 30,

– minimum_height = 64,
minimum_width = 240,

You’ll also notice that the colors more accurately reflect the color choice made within the ‘right click’ context.

[SauronsMouth]

Quick Question.
How are you able to screen capture your right click menus?

[napcok]

By using our built-in screenshot tool, which has options to make screenshots with delay

If your panel does not have button for launching it you might try W-PrintScreen keybind.

[SauronsMouth]

Doh. Thank you. I use Flameshot so often that I forgot about the built-in screen shot tool.
