I just started playing with Conky (v. 1.12.2), and everything is great except I cannot make it show graph borders. (See screenshot) Borders appear only if I toggle outlines or shadows on, but I'd very much avoid it given the bad aesthetic result. My configuration file is at the bottom of the post (it is a modified version of one I found online); draw_graph_borders is set to True.
(There is also a weird "4m" text appearing on the graphs, visible in the screenshot: any idea?)
I am running a fresh install of Pop OS! (a lightly customized Ubuntu variant) 22.04, with its default desktop environment; my Huawei laptop has an Intel HD Graphics 620 card.
Thanks a lot for your help. Massimo

I cannot make it show graph borders.
The ${color #000000} cause black borders to be drawn on the black background. If I remove that color specification, I see the borders.
(I didn't see the "4m" text.)
