does anybody know how I can use Conky to display information about current “DPI (dots per inch)” setting ?

Hi Eric,

does the command: xdpyinfo | grep dots

show what you need?


Yes, it does. Also “xrdb -query | grep dpi” is fine. But I have no clue how I can get this to conky?


Would that work?

${color white}DPI Setting : ${exec xrdb -query | awk ‘/Xft.dpi:/ {print $2}’ &>/dev/null }


Thank you! It works!
