Sorry, I didn't break it on purpose! I thought layout switcher and most users would be messing with the .conf file in MyDocs or whatever the secondary location is. Updating Conky shouldn't really touch that.

I guess the simplest solution for this is to uninstall ConkyLayoutSwitcher using the application switcher and reinstall it again. After this its working again.

But it reverts this changes when conky gets updated. Hmm... not ideal.

Can you add a layout option for this one?
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=119
I don't want to make it the default in Conky because it is a bit slow, but it's still pretty awesome. When I have some time I'll see if we can get Conky to reload the .conf file when we swap it out without restarting it or anything.

This is not the way ConkyLayoutSwitcher works. It doesn't "switch" the config file. It's a single, big and heavy file that checks what to show depending of my code. And I would say this config wouldn't fit in the concept.

If you trying to make this possible, don't forget to keep the diagramm data from the old config for the new layout.
And my work ended very often with a screwed up Conky process because I replaced the config with a new one while Conky was running. Only a kill -9 avoided a battery drain within 4 hours in such a case.
I thought after the last weeks often about writing my own Conky without the possibility for user created config files but on the other hand with a proper maemo/MeeGo styled UI... with scrollbars and options.
But I'm not sure if this is all the effort worth...

I love your Switcher UI, but have a problem.
I use Conky 1.6.1, since I like the layout when used as a live wallpaper. Its default settings also refresh properly as a wallpaper. But installing your app brings a new .conf file and Conly version that has different colors and doesn't refresh properly as a wallpaper.
Once you launch Conky using the Switcher, it downgrades my live wallpaper to this new look, which isn't my preferred layout or colors. It also doesn't refresh at a rate I like for a wallpaper.
I have an idea. Why not have this app actually read a different .conf file based on what we need? My live wallpaper is perfect, so I don't want whatever .conf file it reads from v1.6.1 change, but I'd like a few custom views/layouts for specific use cases. Say a process view, a faster refreshing CPU/RAM view, a storage view, and a network monitor view OF MY CHOICE.
Is there currently a way I could keep my old 1.6.1 layout for the main Conky button in Switcher, and use other .conf layouts for CPU, Network, Disk, and Process views.
Also, why can't Conky have cool analog looking gauges like a car's instrument cluster? Like a cool HUD for our N900.

I can't code a bit. Just wondering why Conky has to look like a TRS-80 app. Would be nicer if it looked more modern. Maybe a new Conky is overdue? Or Monky, Maemo/MeeGo's answer made with Qt? I'd go ape (no pun intended) for Monky...
