I switched the icon theme for something more matching.

Cybernetics vibe. I got my folders made for my Drake Icon Theme.

ok, then
the conky itself, ive left out the config stuff , just the clock stuff
the rest of your conky config goes above this:

	lua_load = '/PATH/TO/clockadaptagreen.lua',
	lua_draw_hook_pre = 'draw_clock',
};

conky.text = [[
${image /PATH/TO/clockstation.png}
]];

clockstation:

clockadaptagreen.lua (ignore the name i was experimenting with different colours)

--[[
Air Clock by Alison Pitt (2009)

This clock is designed to look like KDE 4.3's "Air" clock, but from inside Conky.

You can adjust the clock's radius and placement, as well as the size and offset of the drop shadow. You can also choose whether to display the seconds hand. This clock updates every time Conky does, so if you want to show seconds, it is recommended that you set update_interval to no more than 0.5s. If you turn off seconds, you can set the update_interval to as long as 30s. The settings are in the "Settings" section, starting at Line 21.

Call this script in Conky using the following before TEXT (assuming you save this script to ~/scripts/clock.lua):
lua_load ~/scripts/clock.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre draw_clock

ive probably edited that file a bit, dont know what the original is like
if theres and issue or something that isnt clear itll have to wait until tomorrow as im off at this very moment

    Lucien_Lachance that's OK. I've search-engined this many times but have never found that particular look, in that exact position. I'd probably add a (%S) second hand and double the size, but configs are such a PITA of trial and error me. So would rather start with most it it intact.
    Thanks for that, I really appreciate it.

    been working on my conky, finally after more than 10 years figured how to properly make conky display dark svgs on a light background

    everything left of the weather widget is conky
    also dunst is far better (imo) than the standard plasma notifications

      Lucien_Lachance also dunst is far better (imo) than the standard plasma notifications

      good to know. I installed dunst when I was playing with bswpm (over budgie install). never config'd it or knew what it was capable of.
