# GENERAL INFO ABOUT FONTS
# Go and look for a nice font on sites like http://www.dafont.com/
# Download and unzip - double click the font to install it (font-manager must be installed)
# No font-manager then put fonts in ~/.fonts
# Change the font name in the conky
# The name can be known with a command in the terminal: fc-list | grep "part of name"
# Change width and height of the conky according to font
# Reboot your system or fc-cache -fv in terminal
# Enjoy

could you please make a 1920x1080 variant/version of it??, I tried to make it myself but i'm new to Conky and i don't really know how to tell conky to size it down for 1920x1080

i messed around with the code and here's a 1920x1080 version of it

i'll use pastebin because Github doesn't like text files / .conf files for some reason

@NickTheOnlyNeko Thanks for the 1080p version, it works flawlessly on my display!
