HOWTO: VinDSL Conky Script

[VinDSL]

Gr8 the debug log does help in getting clarity

This is a great feature! I have used it several times, already.

Can you attach the currdata.html from the /tmp/wx-...39 directory - need the downloaded data with imperial units to work with. thanks

[...] and which other bugs insects have you found as u mention I *think* that's a bug too???

I haven't had a chance to thoroughly test all elements, but...

Using my centigrade/fahrenheit "workaround", the "Feels like" output is still displayed in unconverted centigrade readings.

For instance, in my case, the output says it "Feels Like: 183°" at my location.

The funny thing is, it actually does feel like 183° here in Arizona, in the summer, but I think that figure is incorrect. LoL!

I am using this call to have the config file in a easier location to modify and get running faster.

${execpi 900 conkywx -c "/home/bill/.conky/weather/conkywx.conf" -t "/home/bill/.conky/weather/vindsl-font-template" |

Thanks again Bill

Excellent idea, Bill!

I'll incorporate that...

Tighten up the code a bit. The "biggest" change is, I added an overlay to the moon phase icon.

Looked rather lonely, without a silhouette of the shaded area of the moon.

Besides, by the time a new moon arrives, there wouldn't be anything to look at all... just empty space. LoL!

I'm guessing these are standard color names, but where do they come from? Is there a list?

[...]It's been many a year since I cut code and you guys are making me try and remember more than my brain is prepared to accept.

Heh! Wait 'til you're dreaming about Conky, and wake yourself in the night, so you can make changes before you forget them.

I gave you fair warning... it's addictive!

On "named colors", I don't know where they came from, but I always use them, when possible. It's just another one of my quirks.

Here's a list (chart) I made, a few years back:

"Named colors" start about halfway down the page...

Sorry vinDSL... I deleted/edited my post about the same time you posted so there is a loss of continuity. Thankx for the colour update.

Yes, this is bloody addictive.

conkywx gets the weather data to conky - how you set your template makes the difference - how much information you show depends on your choice.

have a look at the slim template it shows slightly less info. you can also use the # character to comment out lines you do not want to see.

Maybe I will divide conky into two and use them seperately. After VinDSL share all his confs I will modify them (:

I'm not quite ready to do a data dump, yet.

Having to much fun playing with ConkyWX/Wunderground

I'll do an update, in a few minutes, so you can see where it stands...
