It's been a while and I've made a few changes, and at the moment I would say it's finished (not that you could call it finished)

I'd like to thank everyone on this thread for the help and support while making this desktop. esp. Londonali, BruceM, Kaivalagi, Crinos, there are many others and I can't remember all of your names.....
....sorry

The space is a little crowded as it's a netbook, so I've had to overlap in places and squeeze things in others.

Well here it is....

Using this, how could you get it just to show the current week? so just show 7 days, then click over to the next 7 days?

I didn't know. Now I do:

${execpi 3600 cal|sed -n "s/ $(date +%-d) /\${color FFFFFF}&\${color}/p"}

Shows only the current week. The first and last week of the month will be short most months. I'll work at getting it to show the last few days of last month and first few days of next month so the line is always the same length.

Awesome conky! I love the bargraph/barcode...where'd that come from?

Awesome conky! I love the bargraph/barcode...where'd that come from?

It's a standard code39 font, you can get it here:-

I've checked and the zip file is OK

Is there a guide for using curl for rss feed quotes. I've attempted to use it but can't figure it out.

Yes, his name is Crinos

Lol, I don't do RSS... but I curl like a powerlifter

I know, it needs a lot of work and I just haven't felt like messing with it lately.

Basically, if you look under CPU usage and Mem usage, when the app name has a long name, it shifts everything to the right. Numbers jump back and forth. That's what I'm trying to fix now.

What I'd like to do is create almost like a table.

now if I could get movies to play in conky, I'd be a hero.

Lol, I don't do RSS... but I curl like a powerlifter

hahaha, do you use the new push/pull brooms


or the old type that you had to "slap" the ice with?

OUCH! What's that for? But he said he curls!!

I used Grandma's broom:

That's 40 pounds of pure curling there!

Have a nice day.
