I want the config file which you have modified for changing the colours.

Confirmed from here too. Your provided .conf-file works. Thanks again!

Same here, running powerkernel. Next to battery percentage it says -1 degree (symbol) C.

yes, I do have power kernel. But to be honest I didn't even take a proper look on the outcome. I was interested only on if it will work or not. I'll play with it later. But if you have any idea why it shows -1, shoot.

@ palaban
you'll have to wait then. But You can do it yourself. Changing colours is very easy. Open your conky.conf (this one, that you placed in MyDocs) with leafpad and then in leafpad you can easily search for colour strings and replace them with your own. 30 seconds job.

yeah you can either put color names like "red" or "darkred" (i dunno where a list of valid ones is)
or hex like "AABBCC" or "#AABBCC" , you just need a program like photshop, fireworks, or anything with a color picker or color wheel to help you see what they look like first. or search on google, i'm sure there is some online tool for that too.

can someone with power kernel and the -1 temp give the output of
cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/uevent (if that exists)
or check under power supply if your battery has a different name?
you don't have to copy the whole output here, just tell me if the battery is named the same as mine, and if POWER_SUPPLY_TEMP=## is there or not.

/home/user # cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/uevent
cat: can't open '/sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/uevent': No such file or directory

okay, try just ls from the power_supply folder and see if you have a bq-something in there?

There is no power_supply folder

Thanks for this very nice rendition.

To recap for anyone else trying to load it at this stage,
(helps if you have sudo gainroot and mc installed )

App manager seems to bomb out and says uninstallable
but here is the quick and dirty (using PR 1.3 clean, no special others)

1. copy the deb file. and the config file (read the thread -!)
2. just leave the conf file alone for the moment
open the terminal
3. run#> sudo gainroot
4. run#> dpkg -i conky-all_1.8.5-1_armel.deb
unless you have lua from some other app or whatever it will give up and complain.
-ignore that complaint and move on-
5. now, copy (renaming) the conky.conf.txt to /home/user/MyDocs/conky.conf
6. At this point you can run#> conky.sh and off it goes
7. You can close the app and then go to the desktop and add the shortcut as usual.

At least, that's what i did and it works as advertised.

I will presuppose I need to uninstall repository-available conky before installing this version?

When you do push this to the repos, am I going to have to uninstall this version and install the repos one again?

(Honestly, wasn't this the reason we have Extras-Devel to begin with? I get that all the sheep flood to devel nowadays because that's where so many good apps stagnate due to flaws in the QA process, but the point is it's supposed to be okay to upload unfinished, unstable, might-brick-your-phone stuff to devel. And to tell people to frak off if they complain too much when extras-devel software does just that.)

At any rate, I'll test soon, but I would really, really prefer people stopped putting alpha software in thread links and only uploaded stuff to devel later. I'd be a lot more willing to test (and I'm not talking about your app only - I feel the same way about the new backup menu, etc) if that extra install-uninstall-install step was gone.

Also, I don't know what this uevent thing for the bq27x00_battery module you're talking about is, but here:
