Variable	Explanation
alignment	Aligned position on screen, may be top_left, top_right, top_middle, bottom_left, bottom_right, bottom_middle, middle_left, middle_middle, middle_right, or none (also can be abreviated as tl, tr, tm, bl, br, bm, ml, mm, mr). See also gap_x and gap_y.
append_file	Append the file given as argument.
background	Boolean value, if true, Conky will be forked to background when started.
border_inner_margin	Inner border margin in pixels (the margin between the border and text).
border_outer_margin	Outer border margin in pixels (the margin between the border and the edge of the window).
border_width	Border width in pixels.
colorN	Predefine a color for use inside conky.text segments. Substitute N by a digit between 0 and 9, inclusively. When specifying the color value in hex, omit the leading hash (#).
console_graph_ticks	A comma-separated list of strings to use as the bars of a graph output to console/shell. The first list item is used for the minimum bar height and the last item is used for the maximum. Example: " ,_,=,#".
cpu_avg_samples	The number of samples to average for CPU monitoring.
default_bar_height	Specify a default height for bars. If not specified, the default value is 6.
default_bar_width	Specify a default width for bars. If not specified, the default value is 0, which causes the bar to expand to fit the width of your Conky window. If you set out_to_console = true, the text version of the bar will actually have no width and you will need to set a sensible default or set the height and width of each bar individually.
default_color	Default color and border color
default_gauge_height	Specify a default height for gauges. If not specified, the default value is 25.
default_gauge_width	Specify a default width for gauges. If not specified, the default value is 40.
default_graph_height	Specify a default height for graphs. If not specified, the default value is 25.
default_graph_width	Specify a default width for graphs. If not specified, the default value is 0, which causes the graph to expand to fit the width of your Conky window. If you set out_to_console = true, the text version of the graph will actually have no width and you will need to set a sensible default or set the height and width of each graph individually.
default_outline_color	Default outline color
default_shade_color	Default shading color and border's shading color
disable_auto_reload	Enable to disable the inotify-based auto config reload feature.
diskio_avg_samples	The number of samples to average for disk I/O monitoring.
display	Specify an X display to connect to.
xinerama_head	Specify a Xinerama head.
double_buffer	Use the Xdbe extension? (eliminates flicker) It is highly recommended to use own window with this one so double buffer won't be so big.
draw_borders	Draw borders around text?
draw_graph_borders	Draw borders around graphs?
draw_outline	Draw outlines?
draw_shades	Draw shades?
extra_newline	Put an extra newline at the end when writing to stdout, useful for writing to awesome's wiboxes.
font	Font name in X, xfontsel can be used to get a nice font
format_human_readable	If enabled, values which are in bytes will be printed in human readable format (i.e., KiB, MiB, etc). If disabled, the number of bytes is printed instead.
gap_x	Gap, in pixels, between right or left border of screen, same as passing -x at command line, e.g. gap_x 10. For other position related stuff, see 'alignment'.
gap_y	Gap, in pixels, between top or bottom border of screen, same as passing -y at command line, e.g. gap_y 10. For other position related stuff, see 'alignment'.
hddtemp_host	Hostname to connect to for hddtemp objects. Defaults to "127.0.0.1".
hddtemp_port	Port to use for hddtemp connections. Defaults to 7634.
http_refresh	When this is set the page generated with out_to_http will automatically refresh each interval. Default value is no.
if_up_strictness	How strict should if_up be when testing an interface for being up? The value is one of up, link or address, to check for the interface being solely up, being up and having link or being up, having link and an assigned IP address.
imap	Default global IMAP server. Arguments are: "host user pass [-i interval (in seconds)] [-f 'folder'] [-p port] [-e 'command'] [-r retries]". Default port is 143, default folder is 'INBOX', default interval is 5 minutes, and default number of retries before giving up is 5. If the password is supplied as '*', you will be prompted to enter the password when Conky starts.
imlib_cache_flush_interval	Interval (in seconds) to flush Imlib2 cache.
imlib_cache_size	Imlib2 image cache size, in bytes. Defaults to 4MiB. Increase this value if you use $image lots. Set to 0 to disable the image cache.
lua_draw_hook_post	This function, if defined, will be called by Conky through each iteration after drawing to the window. Requires X support. Takes any number of optional arguments. Use this hook for drawing things on top of what Conky draws. Conky puts 'conky_' in front of function_name to prevent accidental calls to the wrong function unless you place 'conky_' in front of it yourself.
lua_draw_hook_pre	This function, if defined, will be called by Conky through each iteration before drawing to the window. Requires X support. Takes any number of optional arguments. Use this hook for drawing things on top of what Conky draws. Conky puts 'conky_' in front of function_name to prevent accidental calls to the wrong function unless you place 'conky_' in front of it yourself.
lua_load	Loads the Lua scripts separated by spaces.
lua_shutdown_hook	This function, if defined, will be called by Conky at shutdown or when the configuration is reloaded. Use this hook to clean up after yourself, such as freeing memory which has been allocated by external libraries via Lua. Conky puts 'conky_' in front of function_name to prevent accidental calls to the wrong function unless you place 'conky_' in front of it yourself.
lua_startup_hook	This function, if defined, will be called by Conky at startup or when the configuration is reloaded. Use this hook to initialize values, or for any run-once applications. Conky puts 'conky_' in front of function_name to prevent accidental calls to the wrong function unless you place 'conky_' in front of it yourself.
mail_spool	Mail spool for mail checking
max_port_monitor_connections	Allow each port monitor to track at most this many connections (if 0 or not set, default is 256)
max_text_width	When a line in the output contains 'width' chars and the end isn't reached, the next char will start on a new line. If you want to make sure that lines don't get broken, set 'width' to 0
max_user_text	Maximum size of user text buffer, i.e. text inside conky.text section in config file (default is 16384 bytes)
maximum_width	Maximum width of window
