Unless you want your todo list to be truncated, you will also need to play with the text_buffer_size variable in your .conkyrc file. The default setting is 128 bytes, but I found that to be inadequate for my todo.txt file, so I raised the variable to 1024 bytes. The higher your text_buffer_size, the more resources that Conky will use, so raise sparingly. -"Link to the conkyrc files":http://github.com/duanehubbard/conky-files - !http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3316/3343839756_612804f1fe_o.png! h2.
