Share what ever you use for conky - just remember - credit where credit is due.
Basic guidelines
If your conky script is based on another conky - your header should use something like this
conky.config = {
-- original author https://github.com/altinukshini/conky_blue
-- modified by linux-aarhus
...
When you post large amounts of code
- Use code fence - select your code and click the

Conky clock for FHD (1920x1080)
This is a multi part conky. It is using a lua script for the clock, a bash script for weather, and a wallpaper. The wallpaper can be found at Computer Love Conky Pack. - Gnome-look.org - the result looks like this
The conky is created for 1920x1080. The location of your system panel may also influence on the placement of the conky - it may require additional tweaking for other screen sizes and other layouts.

# Renamed and edited by linux-aarhus 2020
# Clock Rings by Linux Mint (2012) reEdited by Altin.
#
# https://github.com/altinukshini/conky_blue
#
# This script draws percentage meters as rings, and also draws clock hands if you want!
# It is fully customisable; all options are described in the script.
# This script is based off a combination of my clock.lua script and my rings.lua script.
#
# IMPORTANT: If you are using the 'cpu' function, it will cause a segmentation fault if it tries to draw a ring straight away.
# The if statement on line 324 uses a delay to make sure that this doesn't happen.
# It calculates the length of the delay by the number of updates since Conky started.
# Generally, a value of 5s is long enough, so if you update Conky every 1s,
# use update_num>5 in that if statement (the default).
# If you only update Conky every 2s, you should change it to update_num>3;
# conversely if you update Conky every 0.5s, you should use update_num>10.
# ALSO, if you change your Conky, is it best to use "killall conky; conky" to update it,
# otherwise the update_num will not be reset and you will get an error.
#
# To call this script in Conky, use the following in your conkyrc:
#
# lua_load ~/.conky/clock01_rings.lua
# lua_draw_hook_pre clock_rings
#
# Changelog:
