Widget issues

[Golan2072]

I am sorry for the late response but the text direction is still wrong despite trying the above method.

I have lined up a screenshot of the widget with a mock-up with the correct text.

Will try...

Doesn't need to be (and shouldn't be) opened as Admin, just double click on it.

I seem to have trouble opening the file as an administrator and saving changes into it.

Also, will changing line 112 to ${alignr}${color}${time %A, }${time %e %B %Y} help align the text correctly?

You're welcome

[Golan2072]

Thanks! Will try this later today.

You'll have to edit /home/youruser/.conky/widget (hidden folder) and change line 112 to your liking:

Code: [Select]

${alignc}${color}${time %A, }${time %e %B %Y}
%A - the day
%e - numbered day if the month
%B - month
%Y - year

Just be aware that your changes will get overwritten in any future changes to the Lite Desktop Widget, so right click and make a back up of it when you're finished.

I have no idea what direction it is written, but now I do.

The text should read:

שני, 7 בנובמבר 2016

Remember that Hebrew is written from right to left rather than left to right.

[Jerry]

I'll see if I can find out why, but could be difficult as I'm not familiar with the language.

There is still the issue with Hebrew appearing in reversed order in the widget date display.

[Jerry]

There was a bug reported in another thread. Has since been resolved.

Interesting observations from installing LL 3.2 64-bit (ISO downloaded this morning from the LL site) on another computer:

1) After installation, prior to updates, the widget read "3.2".
2) After updates, it read "3.0".
3) After running the Upgrade tool, it's back to "3.2"...

The issue with the date text in Hebrew still persists, though...

Upgrading also solved the version display issue on the first computer, too.

I don't think you've missed anything; I sometimes run both just to be sure, but I know that the update tool does its job.

Here are the computer's stats, by the way.

Running Install Updates should be sufficient, unless I've missed something.
