MX Fluxbox Screenshots

I assume this has something to do with the font used, because you have these typical bracket boxes when the OS doesn't know the font.
Unfortunately I don't know which one it was. Fontawsome? Conkysymbols or ConkyWind?

@siamhie Please install fonts-fork-awesome, which is available in MXPI stable repo.
Then change in the conkyrc every occurance of 'Fontawesome' to 'forkawesome'
That should do the trick

Unfortunately that didn't work. Here's what the config section looks like on my end.

${if_up $template3}\
${voffset -10}${font Open Sans:bold:size=8}WiFi $font${wireless_bitrate $template2} $alignr ${addr $template3}
${voffset -14}$alignc${wireless_essid $template3}
$alignc${color2}${wireless_link_bar 4,260 $template3}${color E9E9E9}
↑ ${upspeedf $template3} kb/s $alignr ${totalup $template3}
${voffset -14}$alignc${upspeedgraph $template3 10,120 ff0000 0000ff}
↓ ${downspeedf $template3} kb/s $alignr ${totaldown $template3}

You'll notice there's the arrows showing (on the left side) but conky doesn't display them. I also looked at the MX-Full file on git-hub and it also shows the same thing.

https://github.com/MX-Linux/mx-conky-da ... oO/MX-Full

UPDATE: I think (not sure) I may have found the problem. At the top of the config file, it calls for a font I don't have installed but I'm not sure which one to install.

conky.config = {
background = false,
use_xft = true,
font = 'Terminus:size=8',
xftalpha = 0.5,
update_interval = 1,

[ceeslans]

Perhaps you can try to download and install the 'terminus' font then?

Turns out fonts-terminus-otb is required. All other terminus fonts won't work.

@siamhie: you are correct. sorry for not being more specific...

@wdscharff: That's a nice compilation of all useful system details.
I did cleanup the code a bit (e.g many references to unrecognized $align variable), edited network "if/else/endif" config and made some cosmetic changes to the layout.
Fwiw, below is my updated conkyrc"

Nice looking conky for people who like seeing all that information all the time.

New month --> new screenshot....

Showing the wonderful style "allegheny" by fluxbox-guru @packrat
The tint2 toolbar is created by moi, with colors obviously based on packrat's fluxbox style.
Systemtray is populated with (standard) white 'papirus' icons, which are colored to black(ish) using the icon_asb value setting, in order to be displayed on the lightgrey bar. And same goes for the originally-white launcher icons.
Wallpaper was greyscaled/colored to match the overall color scheme

Nice!

And what about the good old theme, but the new fresh wallpaper?

You guys are killing me with these fabulous creations!
