Conky dual screen positioning

I'm using Conky on Ubuntu 17.10 to display system informations on my desktop.

My computer has 2 monitors and I would like to move Conky to the 2nd one that is on the right, but I haven't found any informations on how I can perform that.

Here is a screen of my desktop:

Any help would be most welcome!


use xinerama_head config as suggested in this issue discussion

xinerama_head = 2,

try with different number 1, 2

You might also want to use alignment so that conky widget appears not cropped by screen border

alignment = {top|middle|bottom}_right

I finally managed to move the Conky widget to the second monitor using negative values for the horizontal gap (-1920) after choosing Bottom Right in Conky Manager. And now my desktop looks like this:

If anyone has a better solution I would consider choosing it as the accepted answer.
