Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

I figure I could probably get the effect I'm looking for by using if_match, but unfortunately the documentation is a little incomplete, so I don't quite know how to use it.

here's what I want to do:
use if_match to compare the current ${time %H:%M} with the sunrise and sunset times given by execi 1800 conkyForecast --datatype=SR and --datatype=SS. If current time is less than one and greater than or equal to the other, show one image, and show another image if the conditions are reversed.

I just don't know how to call the execi parts inside the if_match.

Edit:
I think I got it figured now.

#if Sunrise <= Time and Time < Sunset, show Sun, else, show Moon
${if_match ${execi conkyForecast --datatype=SR} <= ${time %H:%M} } ${if_match ${time %H:%M} < ${execi conkyForecast --datatype=SS} } SUN${endif}${else}MOON${endif}

Edit2:
Not quite. I replaced the SUN and MOON in the above code with miegiel's wget image code, but I can't get the images to show up at all. It works with the words, but not with the ${image ...} tags.

Edit3:
Ok, it works. I just copied the code from my conkytest file into the regular .conkyrc file, and it works, I think... I'll have to wait until morning to find out if it switches images like it's supposed to.

Hey guys. I recently updated to a newer version of conky (1.8.0_rc1), and everything works fine except the following line used to show the progress of a song for amarok:

${execibar 1 ~/.conky/amarok progress}

Rather than showing a bar as it's supposed to, it instead just shows a number (the number handed to it by the amarok function to turn into a bar).

Anyone know how to fix this?

[Crinos512]

Thanks for the moon script.

Anyone else know how I can make it change to display the current SOHO sun image at the forecast sunrise time, and change back to the moon phase image at the forecast sunset time?

Um... Just because the Sun has set doesn't imply that the moon has risen.

but there is a modified version of the conkymoon.sh that does the SOHO image as well... well, 1 of them.

From here I just need to figure how to tell whether or not it's dark outside.

Thanks Crinos, but I got it figured out already, a few posts up.

[Ginsu543]

Could someone please direct me to some good (i.e., simple to understand for noobs like me) documentation on how to get conky to output angled text? Any help would be much appreciated.

[Crinos512]

Thanks Crinos, but I got it figured out already, a few posts up.

I see that... gave me what I needed to lay it all out. this method has the added benefit of being transparent with alphachannel. (which is the reason for the all of the converts)

ah, sweet then. I could use transparency ^_^ getting a little tired of the black box.

[cbrman]

Somebody knows how to make a link in conky?

Can I link an rss an open a browser to see the web page of the news?
