HOWTO: VinDSL Conky Script

[BoredOutOfMyMind]

I'm thinking about putting the "Location" back into the Weather Script.

I removed it recently ( v0.9.4 ) because I judged that ppl know where they live. LoL!

What about laptop use? ConkyLatLong works and only needs update once per day unless user travels a lot.

${goto 10}Lat/Lon: ${execi 86400 conkyLatLong}

Howto updated with redirect for weather. If anyone really needs to know how to do weather, it's best they get it from the source.

Read the first post of this thread. It has all of the instructions you need, and the code itself. Three posts below it, there is the latest data dump, with the code for all of the scripts laid out for you.

You didn't read the whole thing then. You skimmed. All of what you just said was explained in the text. There are several times it says why these things don't "Look The Same" for you. Read the text. Don't skim. Copying the code again won't change things. You need to understand what you're doing. I explained everything in the Howto section. Just because you had to take some extra time to read it, doesn't mean it doesn't have your answer in it.

Go back and read it again. Read it, don't skim through it hoping for a red flag that says "Hey, $ixtus, this is your answer!" Because that won't be there. Read it and learn how everything works. All of the tips and tricks needed to get it running for you are there. From what you need beforehand to how everything goes in. I made sure it was there when I wrote it.

Wow. There is some serious work involved in getting this thing up and running I see. I don't think I want it anymore . . .

Its too bad it doesn't all come neatly wrapped up in a single package that I could get installed with a single click. That would be awesome. But still, it does look really cool.
