Preventing conky-cli from changing size in dwm

Having conky-cli in the status bar suits my needs perfectly, but there's one annoying problem. When the amount of numbers are changing, the width of the conky-bar changes. This makes the width of the windowtitle to the left of it change continuously as well.
How can i make conky-cli having a fixed width?

Have you tried using the
maximum_width
option in your config file?

  • How to programmatically prevent a list from changing

    Hi
    I want to be able to add a trigger to a list that if the list is changed it will validate some conditions and prevent or allow the change to occur. I tried to raise form_trigger_failure from when-list-change but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

    Example for Emp Table dept Dept no
    1.Make it as LIST
    2. Item Trigger ->When-List-Changed
    3.Put Bleow code which will check -if dept 10 is selected you will get below message
    message('TRigger- When List Changed');
    message('TRigger- When List Changed');
    If :Deptno1=10 then
         message('Deptno1= 10 is selected');
    RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
    End If;
    IT will work

  • HT201304 iOS parental controls do not prevent the child from changing the device passcode.

    So the parent cannot get into the device at all unless the child provides the passcode. Sure, the device can be taken away until the child provides the passcode, but why don't parental controls just prevent the passcode from being changed?  Either that, or the parental control passcode should allow the parent to get into the device, over-riding the passcode lock.

    We are not Apple iOS programmers.  Just device users like yourself.

  • Preventing local admin from changing root password

    Is it possible to prevent a local admin from changing the root password? I would like to set up a computer so that the user has admin rights, but cannot change the root password via a terminal shell to gain root access.

    I can't provide you with details, but I'm sure that all you need to do is to edit the sudoers file. It needs to be edited with <visudo> when logged in as root in a Terminal. The location is </private/etc/sudoers>, but you don't need to know that when using <visudo>. From a first look I'd suppose you only have to uncomment the %admin line, but better get some more information. I never did this myself.

  • Prevent Time Machine from changing device icon...

    When I use Time Machine on a disk, it changes the icon. In my particular circumstance, I don't want to do this as the attached device is a Drobo containing lots of other stuff, and I'd rather keep the default icon (a nice picture of the Drobo itself).
    How do I do this?

    Thomas A Reed wrote:
    You should not be mixing Time Machine backups and other data on the same volume. TM will fill the volume, which will make it difficult to work with other files on that volume.
    As I understand it, Time Machine only performs differential backups, so unless I'm regularly creating and destroying large amounts of data, it probably won't use much disk space at all?
    If you wish to do this, you should partition the Drobo into two volumes, one for the TM backups and one for the other stuff.
    An annoying feature of Drobo (that I discovered after purchasing) is that their website both recommends and discourages this! The Drobo software only works properly if you create one volume using Drobo dashboard. If you partition the disk, Drobo then only sees (and reports on) the first partition. Adding more disks to (or upgrading disk capacity in) the Drobo only increases the size of the second partition, so you have to make the first one your fixed-size Time Machine partition. When I tried this, it seemed to affect the blue lights on the front of the Drobo, which also only reported on the Time Machine partition - the very partition I don't care about as Time machine manages itself!
    Of course, if you do that, be aware that backing up data from one partition onto the TM backup on another partition is no good... it would all still be on the same drive, and thus all gone when the drive fails.
    This is only true of a single external disk. In a RAID (or RAID-like) system, when a single drive fails, your data is preserved while you source a replacement disk.
    Anyway, all of this is a distraction from my original post, which remains unanswered.

  • Prevent OS X from changing Monitor Resolution

    I purchased a 19" LCD monitor the other day. It's a third-party FujiPlus FP-988D monitor. It has a variety of resolutions, however, changing to any of them ends up making it go "out of range".
    So, my problem is that I have a game, "Nemo" which insists on changing the resolution to play the game. I tried loading it up with 'option' and also tried doing command-M to get it into a windowed mode but neither works.
    So the game loads and the monitor heads 'out of range' and I have to quit it (command-Q) to get it to go back to normal.
    I would like to somehow force OS X to prevent resolution changes so the game is forced to use the current resolution or quit.

    Turns out the answer to this is my video card will not support other resolutions with the ADC port. It's too old.

  • How do I prevent tab focus from changing when I scroll tabs with the mouse wheel? [SOLVED]

    Whenever I scroll my tabs with the mouse scroll wheel the tab focus changes from the page I'm currently on to the tab being scrolled to. I usually have a large list of tabs open and I depend on being able to scroll tabs without changing page focus to keep myself organized.
    Also, I'd like to disable tab scroll wrapping; Once I've scrolled my tabs to the end I'd like it to stop scrolling, not wrap around to the start of my tabs.
    Is there a way to disable these features and revert to the tab scrolling behaviour of a previous version of Firefox?

    This is not a standard feature and can be caused by an extension.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

  • How to stop symbol-content from changing size when symbol size changes?

    When I change the size of a symbol, the content is also resized. I want my symbol to act as a viewport: when I make the symbol half as high, the content shouldn't be transformed, you only should see half of the content instead of transformed content. Make the symbol's boundaries act as a cropper, if you get what I mean. How do I do this?

    Hi Jack,
    I think (not sure though) that the Library Item is causing the problem. I never use the Library Item because server side includes are far more efficient and need less maintenance.
    Have a look here http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/sprymenu/ssi.php
    If you have PHP serverside scripting language, use DW to add serverside includes using PHP.
    Getting back to your original problem, try without the Library Item and see if DW still changes the code.
    I hope this helps.

  • Can I stop the Finder icons from changing size while I use the Trackpad?

    Very frustrating:
    Often when I touch my trackpad and I'm in finder the icons/folders get very small! Have to go back to "Finder" then "View" amd "show view options" to reset them to 48x48.
    Is there a way to lock the change of their sizes (but still use the trackpad for touch sensitive stuff)?

    Thanks for the suggestions Skanky. The broken line in conky was a copy/paste error into the browser - it is a single line conky (I've edited the OP to reflect that).
    I think it is a problem with the way conky-cli and dzen work together. If I run:
    echo "testing" | dzen2 -fg '#dcdcdc' -bg '#3f3f3f' -ta r -fn '-*-terminus-*-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*' -p
    it prints as expected.
    Similarly, if I comment the conky | dzen2 line in .xinintrc and just run conky-cli from the start script it works...
    Trying to get then to work together, however, is another matter.
    /edit
    Some progress: it seems that it is being drawn - if I Mod-Shift-q the dwm status bar briefly disappears and I can see conky momentarily. I tried starting conky | dzen2 after dwm but that didn't work.
    I have also added some options, which seem to have helped, my .xinintrc entry now looks like:
    conky | dzen2 -x '500' -e '' -fg '#dcdcdc' -bg '#3f3f3f' -ta r -fn '-*-terminus-*-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*' -p &

  • How to prevent user from changing a field on a Form.

    I have a form and a report on the same page. The form is used to set criteria for the report. So after the criteria is entered on the form a button is clicked, which passes the criteria to the report. The form also displays some additional data based on the criteria, i.e. I do a query on the form.
    The problem I'm having is preventing the user from changing the additional data which is displayed. I tried all the wizzard options; i.e. not updatable, not insertable etc. but the user can still change the data.
    The only options seems to be writting some Java code for one of the triggers, but I haven't written any Java before.
    So I was wondering if anyone has a non-Java solution for this problem or an example of a Java program I could use to solve the problem.
    Thanks for any help
    Larry

    Hi,
    Suppose you want Empno, Sal fields of Employee table as Query only and all other fields user updateable then
    uncheck all the three check boxes
    Mandatory , Updatable , Insertable under validation options for those fields.
    When you run the form, these fields appear as text items in query mode and will appear labels once the querying done.
    Hope it works
