A complete rewrite thanks to some new tricks.
OK so someone asked if it was possible to have:
-- text here --
in conky. Where the — was a solid line similar to the ${hr} command.
People started by saying, “No, not possible.” I thought about it for a bit and said to myself, “Yea I can do that!”. With another trick in conky that I have already showed you in "Bars with text inside".
So I set out and experimented and came up with the solution. ${cpubar cpuX} where X is a cpu you do not have. ie: cpu3 for a dual-core
${alignc}${cpubar cpu 5 1,30} cpubar cpuX ${cpubar cpu5 1,30}
as seen in the image on the right.
Fast forward to April 2014 in the CrunchBang Forums
Marenbraga said: I plan to use a bar only as decoration, but I need it filled because of the background color. Any suggestions?
Use: ${membar} with a height no greater than 1 and a width of 0, along with a creative use of font size. Good idea but requires a lot of them to make a real bar
However you can even give it stripes:
The test code that did all that:

pvsage said
Another way to do it: 1. Above the TEXT area, set a default bar size, e.g. "default_bar_size 50 7" is 50 pixels long, 7 pixels high. 2. Where you want the solid bar, use ${execbar echo 100}
and I tested and found that:
default_bar_size 0 7 TEXT ${execbar echo 100}
created a bar as wide as the conky window with a height of 7
AWESOME! KUDOS to pvsage.
Now while default_bar_size 0 2 is more or less the same as ${hr 2} default_bar_size 50 12 isn't.
default_bar_size 50 12 TEXT ${alignc}${execbar echo 100}${voffset -1} by pvsage ${voffset 1}${execbar echo 100} ${alignc}${execbar echo 100}${voffset -1} 50 12 ${voffset 1}${execbar echo 100}
Where this differs from ${membar} is ${execbar} does not take height/width parameters only the the default_bar_size can modify it's appearence
The last two lines in that code:
${alignc}${font woodbadge:size=20}Conky${font} ${font woodbadge:size=20}${alignc}Conky${font}
are simply to show, when you use a font and size different to the default font, in this case:
use_xft yes xftfont monofur:bold:size=10
it does matter where you put the ${alignc}
