If you want receive facebook notifications in Conky go to http://www.taringa.net/posts/linux/12952099/notificaciones-de-facebook-en-conky.html and follow the tutorial.
* NOTES ABOUT CONKY SENTINEL RELOADED.
Conky Sentinel Reloaded is using 01.png background image by default. If you want use the other image (02.png), do this:
* Open a terminal and type:
sudo gedit .Conky/sentinel-reloaded/config/conkyrc1
In this file, find "01.png" and change to "02.png" (Remember, no quotes).
Below, find "{color black}" and change to "{color red}" (Remember, no quotes)
Save and exit. That's all.
* HOW TO CHANGE PICS IN A NEW DESKTOP PICTURE SCREEN (This feature is available only in Conky Sentinel 1280x1024 resolution)
* Go to .Conky/sentinel/pics and select your favorite logo o picture. If don't like these pictures, just drag your best pictures -dad, mom, pet, girlfriend, etc- from your database pictures. Then;
* Open a terminal and type:
sudo gedit .Conky/sentinel/config/conkyrc18
At the bottom, just change "debian.png" for other.
Some examples:
${image ~/.Conky/sentinel/pics/tux.png -p 0,0 -s 128x128}
${image ~/.Conky/sentinel/pics/gnu.png -p 0,0 -s 128x128}
${image ~/.Conky/sentinel/pics/YOUR_NAMEFILE_PICTURE -p 0,0 -s 128x128}

Just up or down these values and save constantly to see results in your screen resolution. That's all.
Good luck!

Hi dwilson0914:
Change sleep timers to 5 or 10 seconds, no "0". Conky Sentinel maybe not work.
WIFI and HD drives:
Open a terminal and type:
ifconfig
Check your WIFI interface. By default, Conky Sentinel is working with wlan0. But if you have eth0, eth1 or other, then go to .Conky/sentinel/scripts/ and open rings1.lua
In these file, change this lines:
arg="wlan0",
to
arg="eth0", or arg="eth1", or other. Just change "wlan0" for your WIFI interface. Save and exit.
Do the same with .Conky/sentinel/config/conkyrc1 and .Conky/sentinel/config/conkyrc6
In those files, change the lines:
${downspeedgraph wlan0 15,355} ${downspeed wlan0}
and
${upspeedgraph wlan0 15,355} ${upspeed wlan0}
for your WIFI interface. Examples:
${downspeedgraph eth0 15,355} ${downspeed eth0}
${upspeedgraph eth0 15,355} ${upspeed eth0}
${downspeedgraph eth1 15,355} ${downspeed eth1}
${upspeedgraph eth1 15,355} ${upspeed eth1}
etc... Save and exit.
That's all. Good luck!

ABOUT CPUCORE:
Open a terminal and type:
cd /
cd proc/acpi/processor/
ls
Can you see CPU0 or CPU1 or anything?
If you have CPU0, then change the lines for:
CPU0: ${cpugraph cpu0 11,47}
CPU0: ${cpugraph cpu0 11,47}
CPU0: ${cpugraph cpu0 11,47}
CPU0: ${cpugraph cpu0 11,47}
If you have CPU1, then change the lines for:
CPU1: ${cpugraph cpu1 11,47}
CPU1: ${cpugraph cpu1 11,47}
CPU1: ${cpugraph cpu1 11,47}
CPU1: ${cpugraph cpu1 11,47}
Save and exit. If you can't see changes, rerrun Conky Sentinel instances or reboot you machine.
ABOUT VOLUME:
I'm stupid. In Linux Mint, the path to VOL has changed. I'm searching how to fix :-( By the moment, try to make changes. I promise reply you as soon I can.
Good luck!

OK so when I do the cd / and cat /proc/cpuinfo it says I have 1 processor. in your reply you said...
"Change the lines named:
CPU0: ${cpugraph cpu0 11,47}
CPU1: ${cpugraph cpu1 11,47}
CPU2: ${cpugraph cpu2 11,47}
CPU3: ${cpugraph cpu3 11,47}
for:
CPU0: ${cpugraph cpu0 11,47} <--- SINGLE-CORE
CPU1: ${cpugraph cpu1 11,47} <--- DUAL-CORE OR CORE 2 DUO
CPU2: ${cpugraph cpu2 11,47} <--- Core i3
CPU3: ${cpugraph cpu3 11,47} <--- etc..."
But I see no change from what they are to what they should be other than labeling each line with what kind of core it is. Also, changed the lua ring about SWAP to what you said (so that it shows my volume level) but it doesn't register a value no matter what my volume is set to.
I am so sorry to be such as a bother and I truly appreciate all the help you have given me

ABOUT LCD PANEL-UP (CENTRAL)
How many cpucores do you have? If you don't know, open a terminal and type:
cd /
cat /proc/cpuinfo
Check the lines named "processor" and account the cpucores. Then go to .Conky/sentinel/config and open conkyrc6
Change the lines named:
CPU0: ${cpugraph cpu0 11,47}
CPU1: ${cpugraph cpu1 11,47}
CPU2: ${cpugraph cpu2 11,47}
CPU3: ${cpugraph cpu3 11,47}
for:
CPU0: ${cpugraph cpu0 11,47} <--- SINGLE-CORE
CPU1: ${cpugraph cpu1 11,47} <--- DUAL-CORE OR CORE 2 DUO
CPU2: ${cpugraph cpu2 11,47} <--- Core i3
CPU3: ${cpugraph cpu3 11,47} <--- etc...
Save and exit.
ABOUT /root and /home, SWAP AND BATTERY:
/root and /home: I thing you have a fresh installation and your HD is empty, or almost empty. Try load many files into HD and look if rings works.
SWAP: if you have 2 gigas in RAM memory or more, then swap memory not work for you. This is not a question about Conky Sentinel. This is a question about your Linux system.
BATTERY:
Open a terminal and type:
cd /
cat sys/class/power_supply/
ls
If you see BAT0, BAT1 or other thing, then edit the lua rings about this conkyrc.
CHANGE SWAP TO VOLUME:
Of course! Just edit the lua ring about SWAP and change the line:
name="swapperc",
for
name="mixer",
arg="Master",
That's all. If you are in troubles, reply me.
Good luck!

If you want these wallpaper in red color, open it with Gimp. Go to menu "colors", select "colorized", select red color and push OK. Now go to menu "file", select "to export" and save. That's all.
