The first draft placed every band at a fixed pixel offset and let the
arc absorb whatever height was left. In a 1x2 cell on this monitor that
is 794px of arc: a cathedral arch under a fifth of a card of content,
nothing like the mockup it was shaped after.
Three changes, all visible in an offscreen render of the real widget:
- Type sizes and band offsets scale with the rect, within clamps, so the
proportions hold on the 1920 monitor as well as this one.
- The arc gets a bounded band that follows the stats instead of being
pinned to the bottom, so no dead strip opens between them.
- The layout gives the widget a 1x1 cell. Its content is about 350px
tall and a full-height cell cannot be filled without inventing data.
Found before restarting conky by loading conky's own cairo bindings
standalone and rendering the widget to a PNG, which is a far tighter
loop than install, restart, switch workspace, screenshot.
