Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[miegiel]

Since my stupid laptop doesn't have a caps lock light I want to add a caps lock light to my conky. Does anyone know where/what info to cat and or grep to see if caps is turned ON or off?

Googling CAPS LOCK is no fun at all

In the conkyrc files I use $HOME instead of ~. That way I can copy the file to my wife's computer and not have to edit it.

Well, you know what they say, $HOME is where you hang your conky.

{pssst, tom! did i mess that saying up or is that it?}
{looks good to me b}

SERIOUSLY: Good thinking! {me adopt: $HOME}

Have a nice day.

Love what you did with the rings and the clock, beautiful. Just looks like your calendar days needs some negative voffsetting

I decided that liked whiskeylover's .conkyrc and I adapted it a little to suit my wallpaper it's very 'rough' as this is my first time doing this but it works

thanks that's high praise indeed. Funnily enough just come on here to change it...

And i'm actually fond of the Days roll like that, looks like it 'slides' to the end of the week lol

I had the same problem, here's the ${voffset}'s I added to tidy it up:

week.sh

#!/bin/bash

font=("\${font vera:size=8}" "\${voffset -4}\${font vera:size=12}" "\${voffset -5}\${font vera:size=18}" "\${voffset -8}\${font vera:size=27}\${color ffffff}" "\${voffset -4}\${font vera:size=18}" "\${voffset -4}\${font vera:size=12}" "\${voffset -2}\${font vera:size=8}")
color=("" "" "" "\${color}" "" "" "")

for i in $(seq -3 3); do
echo -n "${font[$[i+3]]}$(date '+%d' -d "$i days")${color[3]}\${offset 3}"
done

Have a nice day.

Somebody had a great idea today but I cant find the post amongst all the conky threads I subscribe to.

Most netbooks don't have a CAPS LOCK led indicator. This person suggested using cat to call the caps lock state.

Can that be done? I did some research and can't figure out where it would reside.

Nice, I am going to have to give that a try when I find a free second this weekend. So bussy, weekends are supposed to be full of conky fun.
