If someone could update Conky PitStop, then there is addition:

.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/conkyrc.lang

<language id="conkyrc" _name=".conkyrc" version="2.0" _section="Others">
  <metadata>
    <property name="mimetypes">application/x-conkyrc</property>
    <property name="globs">*conkyrc*</property>
    <property name="line-comment-start">#</property>
  </metadata>

and a mime-type
.local/share/mime/package/conkyrc.xml

oh, this is a funny forum!



but seriously, dk75 and stinkeye, you made my day nerdier!

[ejjenkins]

For all you lua experts...is there a way to change my wallpaper every day at midnight using 7 images I have created (1.png ... 7.png) each wallpaper has the day of the week rendered in blender.

I want it to verify the day of the week and make the appropriate wallpaper change...

Does this make sense what I want...is more information required? Any help would be appreciated.

[dk75]

Why not... conky loads wallpaper.png and cron copy images to wallpaper.png 1 minute after midnight. Additional invoke in rc.local to check at boot and that's it.
No lua involved ;P

BASH code:

#!/bin/bash

CURRDAY=$(date +%d)
FILEBASE="/home/YOURUSER/.conky/images/wallpaper"
[ -e "${FILEBASE}.png" ] && FILEDAY=$(date -d "$(stat --printf="%y" "${FILEBASE}.png")" +%d) || FILEDAY=$(date -d "-1 day" +%d)

function wallpaper_update(){
#	echo -e "File: ${FILEDAY}\tDate: ${CURRDAY}"
cp "$(printf '%s-%02d.png' ${FILEBASE} ${CURRDAY})" "$(printf '%s.png' ${FILEBASE})"
}

function wallpaper_help(){
printf "\neveryday-wallpaper.sh [-h|--help] [-f|--force]\n"
printf "\tscript updating wallpaper.png every day\n\n"
printf "\t-f|--force\t- force update\n"
printf "\t-h|--help\t- this help\n\n"
}

case $1 in
	-f|--force)	wallpaper_update;;
	-h|--help)	wallpaper_help;;
	*)		[ ${FILEDAY} -eq ${CURRDAY} ] && { echo -e "File: ${FILEDAY}\tDate: ${CURRDAY}\tNo update!" ; exit 0; } || wallpaper_update;;
esac

Your daily wallpaper should have names wallpaper-01.png, wallpaper-02.png and so on.

CRONTAB invoke:

1 0 * * * /home/YOURUSER/.conky/conkyparts/everyday-wallpaper.sh

rc.local invoke:

sudo -u YOURUSER /home/YOURUSER/.conky/conkyparts/everyday-wallpaper.sh >/dev/null

At a first run type that in terminal:

~/.conky/conkyparts/everyday-wallpaper.sh -f

dk75, thank you for such a quick response...it all seems to work well, but the wallpaper is not refreshed...is there some way to force a redraw of the wallpaper?

Again, thank you for the crazy fast response!

Here is my current Conky, no weather yet I still gota set all that mess back up.

My code is a mess, to lazy to clean it up.
I would like to make the Conk more narrow, but it wouldnt let me for some reason. I may have some work around to try again.

No lua involved ;P

Bummer.... I need a week with 2047 days?

[dk75]

dk75, thank you for such a quick response...it all seems to work well, but the wallpaper is not refreshed...is there some way to force a redraw of the wallpaper?

Again, thank you for the crazy fast response!

As for the code - it was coincidence that I've done that code (very similar - for previous month, current month and next month) for my work schedule just 2 days before, so core code was ready ;P

As for a redraw issue - it depends how do you draw it in your code.
If it's by IMLIB image function, then you must set imlib_cache_flush_interval in config section (before TEXT clause) for 1 hour (3600s) or 1 minute (60s) or whatever you like.

Bummer or not, question was about pre rendered images.

I will probably change my own code to LUA procedure, that will draw my schedule charts based on a text file with dates and shifts. But I need some free time for that and that will be a problem as i see at my Conky displayed work schedule ;P

Woke up this morning, checked my wallpaper and it changed just like it should have, not sure when it happened, but it worked...I appreciate your code on this. Very Nice! When I get home from work, I will post a screenshot...again, thanks!
