I'm using a script in Conky in order to display my new gmail on my desktop.
It works beautifully, but is kind of ugly, and I'm not sure how to fix it.
What I've currently got looks like this:
And what I'd like is this:
Any ideas for how to make that happen are much appreciated. Here's the script I'm currently using (I think I've snipped out the correct part, if I haven't please let me know.)
#!/usr/bin/perl

$initial_tab=""; #Tab for first line of subject
$subsequent_tab="\t"; #tab for wrapped lines
$quote="\""; #put quotes around subject
#limit the number of emails to be displayed
$emails=-1; #if -1 display all emails
&passwd; #give password the proper url character encoding
switch($what){ #determine what the user wants
case "n" {&gmail; print "$new\n";} #print number of new emails
case "s" { #print $from and $subj for new email
&gmail;
