Some recent changes demanded some edits…
My Date/timezone conky (below, on desktop) and time (on top of anything maximised, but not fullscreen):
Conky Clock
conky.config = {
-- Conky settings
background = true,
update_interval = 5,
double_buffer = true,
no_buffers = true,
-- Window specifications
gap_x = -670,
gap_y = 5,
alignment = 'top_middle',
own_window = true,
own_window_type = 'dock',
own_window_transparent = true,
own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_argb_value = 50,
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,above,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
own_window_class = 'conkyclock',
-- Text
use_xft = true,
xftalpha = 0.1,
font = 'Arial Rounded MT bold :size=24',
default_color = '#646464',
};
conky.text = [[${time %H:%M}]];
Then the DATE conky:
Date
conky.config = {
-- Conky settings
out_to_x = false,
out_to_wayland = true,
background = true,
update_interval = 300,
double_buffer = true,
no_buffers = true,
-- Window specifications
gap_x = 350,
gap_y = 5,
alignment = 'top_right',
own_window = true,
own_window_transparent = true,
own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_argb_value = 50,
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
own_window_class = 'conky',
-- Text
use_xft = true,
xftalpha = 0.1,
font = 'Sarabun :bold:size=13',
default_color = '#8b8b8b',
color1 = '#E7E7E6', -- Lite
color2 = '#1e90ff', -- Blue
color3 = '#ffa500', -- Orange
color4 = '#9a9d9f', -- Light Gray
color5 = '#ff0000', -- Red
};
conky.text = [[${color1} ${time %A %d %B %Y} ${font :size=10}
${tztime Europe/London %H:%M %Z}
${tztime Europe/Kyiv %H:%M} Kyiv ${goto 105}${tztime America/Chicago %H:%M %Z} US
]];
The Disk monitor also needed tweaking for Wayland - now the ‘alignr’ is working, but ‘goto’ still does not:
Disks
conky.config = {
-- Conky settings
out_to_x = false,
out_to_wayland = true,
background = true,
update_interval = 30,
double_buffer = true,
no_buffers = true,
-- Window specifications
alignment = 'br',
gap_x = 20,
gap_y = 42,
own_window = true,
own_window_transparent = true,
own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_argb_value = 70,
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
own_window_class = 'conky',
-- Text
use_xft = true,
xftalpha = 0.1,
font = 'firacode nerd font :bold:size=9',
draw_shades = true,
default_color = '#666666',
};
conky.text = [[${fs_bar 5,55 /} Evo ${alignr}${fs_free /}

Launchers: some control - some conkies have timeout and some are for permanent display.
#!/bin/bash
if pgrep -x "conky"
then killall conky
else
conky -d -c ~/Dropbox/Admin/conky/c0-time.conky
conky -d -c ~/Dropbox/Admin/conky/c0-date.conky

The full monty, kills any existing and launches this set.
For startup the basic 5:
#!/bin/bash
if pgrep -x "conky"
then killall conky
else
conky -d -c ~/Dropbox/Admin/conky/c0-time.conky
conky -d -c ~/Dropbox/Admin/conky/c0-date.conky
conky -d -c ~/Dropbox/Admin/conky/c2-network.conky
conky -d -c ~/Dropbox/Admin/conky/c4-disk.conky
conky -d -c ~/Dropbox/Admin/conky/c1-information.conky
fi
And another to include some extra notes and stuff (currently some new keybindings for desktop and for MPV subtitles):
#!/bin/bash
if pgrep -x "conky"
then killall conky
else
conky -d -c ~/Dropbox/Admin/conky/c0-time.conky
conky -d -c ~/Dropbox/Admin/conky/c0-date.conky
conky -d -c ~/Dropbox/Admin/conky/c2-network.conky
conky -d -c ~/Dropbox/Admin/conky/c3-proc.conky
conky -d -c ~/Dropbox/Admin/conky/c4-disk.conky
conky -d -c ~/Dropbox/Admin/conky/c5-notes.conky
conky -d -c ~/Dropbox/Admin/conky/c1-information.conky
fi
Update:
Deleted previous line for updates, Thanks to @Fabby line:
${if_match ${execpi 3600 checkupdates | wc -l} > 1}${color}Updates:${color2} ${execpi 3600 checkupdates | wc -l}${color} ready to install!${endif}
Not yet updated, the PROC window (timeout, below):
I like the fading brightness/saturation effect on this one.

Consider some Colour highlighting on those bars to make them show up when memory and CPU get used, or fade away a little:
