Make it launch on another monitor? #40

There doesn't seem to be any option to make it launch on another monitor than the primary one.

I tried to search for instructions to how to do this, but none of them worked.

This is related to conky, not conky-manager2. What instructions did not work? There are at least 3 of them.

Depends on the setup of your monitors. If your 2nd monitor is an extention of your desktop, and located to the left of the primary, then you have to go negative with gap_x.
If the monitor is located on the right of your primary, then you have to go beyond the horizontal size of the resolution of your primary.
If the secondary is above the primary, then you have to go negative with gap_y. If the secondary is below the primary, then you have to go beyond the vertical size of the resolution of the primary.

You can also specify this on the commandline: conky -y <nr> -x <nr> -c /path/conkyscript
(nr can be negative)
