I need your help guys.
I want to make my conky look like the one on that screenshot, but I don't know how to make it look like that (bar-like) in order to match my pypanel and wallpaper.
Thanks fellas!

Out of curiosity, what kind of monitor setup do you have?

Thanks! I use dual monitors @ 3200x2400.

el mariachi,

I don't think that's Conky, as it's displaying a program that is open like a panel.

hummm you sure? It looks exactly like conky, except it has a background and the composite manager treats it like a panel... I'll try to dig it up

EDIT: After some searching I found it! It's a conky script!
Get it here!

Heres my latest. A nice and clean one. There are 3 conkys. (Top left, center, and right in screenshot)
Its calibrated for a 1440x900 display, if thats not you then you're gonna have to play with the
gap_x/gap_y values.

The font in the clock is "Impact" get it with:

Code:

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

MAN!! That is freakin' awsome!

Where did you get that wallpaper, or did you make it especially for this setup? I would love to find one in the blubuntu blue.

**phaedOne** · August 16th, 2007

Thankx, I made it for the setup. I put up a link to the Photoshop PSD with all the elements on individual layers in my post so if u want to modify something its all there.

It will improve over time, I want to add a reference of commands and what they do at the bottom of the conkyrc. Pretty much random quotes of commands and their function show up every so often. It would be ideal since I'm still learning, and every new command learned is a new thing learned, YEAH! haha
