Alright, installed the new conky. My old conky.conf file (originally saved as conky.bak during install, copied as conky.conf after the first launch did the load black window for a while then close bug) worked just fine.

Now to fiddle with the new $battery stuff and see if I can get $if_match working.

One exception, my normally plain white CPU graph is now showing up as pink. I suspect this is that color-changes-with-value feature.

Yeah, if_match needed this version to work right. EXTRA THANK YOU! That makes what I intend to do that much closer to working.

As for the pink color, does not seem to have been value based, though I'm not sure. I had a similar bug on previous version's graphs when they used the N900, but then I was having the graph go from white (or close to white) to gray. (or a gray to a darker gray - don't remember). The graphs ended up being pink from the starting point, and transiting into the proper gray color. *Shrug* Don't think it was something to you fixed or broke though - just seems to have moved from one graph type to another.
yeah the if_match thing looks pretty damn useful, i don't think conky can do regex though, that makes me sad...
i thought you might be interested in the auto config file reloading too, if you can't get the "two sets of data in one config file" you could always find a way to swap config files on conky to achieve the same effect. no guarantee that it will actually work though, I have no clue what "inotify" means...

the colors are a real ***** to set up properly, i don't know how they do it but it seems if you pick two colors far apart, the transition is all 99% grey. at least we can steal nice color schemes easily enough if we see some
