Worked like a charm! Thank you very much, sir. Mine is the minimalistic one packed in Parted Magic and now works OK in my Linux Mint.

if you click the edit as file from conky-manager you can go straight to the file

thanks. I am familiar with editing my ~/.conkyrc file and since the changes to this file do seem to work for everything else, I edited the ~/.conkyrc file but it doesn’t seem to have worked.

I could not find any of these files or directories:
usr/share/conky-manager/themepacks/
~/.conky/
~/.conky-manager/

anyone with any further ideas?

Thanks. This did the trick for me on ubuntu 14.04.1 (unity desktop). The conky config file in this dirtribution is, as you mentioned, named ~/.conkyrc

In reply to Goodlookingjedi. In the newer version the files are hiding in ~/.conky/THEMENAME Hope that helps

I have enjoyed your help with the Conky app…thanks. I have a problem trying to follow this post however. I tried to change directory as listed above but none existed. So I searched for the file and found it, but cant get to it…. im a newbie and need help. My config file for the gotham theme seems to be located at usr/share/conky-manager/themepacks/ and is in a compressed file called default-themes-2.0cmtp.7z, I can open it in a text editor but dont have permission or ability to save it in the compressed file. how do I use the terminal to get to it and fix it as you have done.
thanks
