Undo whatever settings you have. Edit /etc/conky-lite/widget as Admin and change the:

Code: [Select]
# Gap between borders of screen and text
# Same thing as passing -x at command line
gap_x -375
gap_y 65

numbers until you get what fits. If Lite Widget ever gets updated, it will over write your custom values so make sure after your changes, you make a backup of the widget file. As you can see, you can use negative numbers too.

@timbuck2
I'm curious ... does the task bar show on the screen?
Perhaps the resolutions for the monitors are the same - but need to be different... Makes sense with default its off screen to the right - is the taskbar/time missing as well...
If you can, use a lower resolution on the primary/screen on right...

I've had to do this in Linux and Windows depending on laptop and external monitors...

maybe worth a try
LL4.8 UEFI 64 bit ASUS E402W - AMD E2 (Quad) 1.5Ghz  - 4GB - AMD Mullins Radeon R2
LL5.8 UEFI 64 bit Test UEFI Kangaroo (Mobile Desktop) - Atom X5-Z8500 1.44Ghz - 2GB - Intel HD Graphics

So is this fixable to get on-screen on the right and on the second monitor or should I forget about it?

Ok, here is what it looks like.  Primary monitor on the right where the widget is off-screen.  Secondary monitor to the left where I would like the widget to be displayed.



If  I edit the line shown below in /etc/conky-lite/widget



to read "bottom_left"  instead of " bottom_right" I get this on the screen with the widget enabled.  Still not on the secondary monitor.



So I don' t know where to go after that.

Can you please screenshot both monitors with the Lite Widget enabled.

I enabled the Lite Widget on the 5.4 release but it is displayed almost entirely off-screen.  Here is a picture of what is happening.



What should I do to get the widget readjusted on-screen?

Also, how would I move the widget to the second monitor?
