Hello - am giving your cool project here a try. After spending 15 years in Linux, am loving this on Windows! BTW is there a way to ONLY show drives that are active? What I mean is I have a card-reader bank that I only use for SD cards and a few of the empty docks keep showing up with nothing in them. Can I either exclude those drive letters (I see in the manual about the 'exclude' option, but am not sure how to get it to work).
The drive-size option also looks promising but am completely unsure how to use it as the ini populates a spaghetti-code display string that seems pretty hard to interrupt. Where do I put these options and what is the syntax?
Thanks for any ideas!
P.S. is there a way to set a margin all around the conky so if you use formcolor it extends a given distance from the block of displays?
Thanks Again!

the manual gives an example of the exclude option. it's simply a string of letters: exclude:FGH
alternatively you can try the drive-size option which will only include drives of a minimum size in bytes.
here is a working example from the desktopinfo-advanced.ini in the sample directory:
LOGICALDRIVES=diskio:1,font-size:85%,chart:bar max:100 series1:7 threshold:75, text-align:l, drive-size:1000, \ alarms:(%11 ge 10000000 0000f0)(%13 ge 10000000 0000f0)(%7 ge 90 0070f0),\ row-text:Drive %1: (%2) %3|%chart%,\ display:%6[1.0B]B/%5[1.0B]B (%7[1.1f]% used)| r: %11[1.1B]B/s\, w: %13[1.1B]B/s\, q: %17\, i: %19[1.1f]%

use display-offsetx , display-offsetxr, display-offsety in the [options] section
