Thanks for pointing $else out to me. Now I can do 3 colors

It turned out that ${if_match "battery_percent" < "31"} should have been ${if_match $battery_percent < 31}. Oh well. I made some bars for my 2 cores too.

${if_match $battery_percent < 11}${color red}${battery_bar BAT0}$color$endif${if_match $battery_percent > 30}${battery_bar BAT0}$else${color yellow}${battery_bar BAT0}$color$endif
${if_match ${cpu cpu1} < 60}${cpubar cpu1}$else${color yellow}${cpubar cpu1}$color$endif${if_match ${cpu cpu1} > 89}${color red}${cpubar cpu1}$color$endif
${if_match ${cpu cpu2} < 60}${cpubar cpu2}$else${color yellow}${cpubar cpu2}$color$endif${if_match ${cpu cpu2} > 89}${color red}${cpubar cpu2}$color$endif

Finally changing colors without having to run a extra script

Thanks m8. You gave me the idea, I knew something was missing on my graphic
I should realised the lua calls from the begining when conky v.1.7 asked for lua 5.1

Now it crashes whenever I disconnect the wireless. Here's what I have:

I keep getting an error that says one or more endifs are missing.

Thanks, it worked, but I have no idea why. Why doesn't if_up work?

Like I said, I don't use if_ statements, so I'm not sure why if_up doesn't work.

Have a good one.

Oops! Change the first ${else} to ${endif}
and drop one of the ${endif}${endif} statements on the last line.

I figured it out. The other way worked better because with the new code that you gave me, it showed NO CONNECTION regardless of if the wireless was connected or not, as the else was attached to the wlan0 connection. But thank you very much for helping me with this. It seems that I had accidentally put an if statement somehwere at the top of my code, which was causing the crashes. Thank you.

Once again I'm in need of help!

On the second line:

${if_existing /proc/net/route wlan0}

This means it will display weather if wlan0 is currently connected. Is there any way to make it display if either wlan0 or eth0 is connected?

[josephellengar]

Never mind. I'm stupid

${if_match $battery_percent < 11}${color red}${battery_bar BAT0}$color$else${if_match $battery_percent < 31}${color yellow}${battery_bar BAT0}$color$else${if_match $battery_percent < 96}${battery_bar BAT0}$else${color green}${battery_bar BAT0}$color$endif$endif$endif

I could go for a rainbow but 4 colors is enough for now. Battery bar is red up to 10%, yellow up to 30%, and green when it's almost full.

I had a flicker problem in conky I found the solution elsewhere

it is in the Compiz Config Setting manager under General Options General Tab
uncheck Hide skip taskbar windows

This is probably in the wrong thread
