IT'S BACK!!!!!

conkyForecast is BACK! No ID No KEY 10days!


conkyForecast LIVES! It's ALIVE!!!!!!!

That's affirmative! Spent some "quality time" with conky tonight, and between Sector11, mclovin, mrpeachy, VinDSL, Vastone, and way to many more to name, I'm looking pretty decent! Love CTRL-C and CTRL-V and other peoples creativity!

The moon and sun images are showing correctly now on my desktop! It's not part of the desktop picture! Love the way it just blends in. Looks like it is part of the wallpaper! Conky is fantastic! If you think any of it looks bad, then that is my fault totally and has nothing to do with the aforementioned folks. I was just saying thank-you to them for their help, whether they know they gave it or not! Your a patient man Sector11... Definitely thanks... (Not sure why I'm getting the 'shadows' behind the text for the middle conky?)

Accidental learnin'! You gotta love it!

I made the same change and it seems to be working for me also.

Yea, I gave up "override" a while back, I like the "full control" of:

own_window_hints

that override doesn't allow: (italics - mine)

If own_window is yes, you may use these window manager hints to affect the way Conky displays. Notes: Use own_window_type desktop as another way to implement many of these hints implicitly. If you use own_window_type override, window manager hints have no meaning and are ignored.

Note that: If own_window is yes

Also if you are using wmctrl with conky in anyway, 'override' is a no no. (in my experience)

Looking really good there Jed!

I learn by osmosis.

Hi, everyone !
Is there any way to make conky hide automatically or manually..?
May be interactive conky method applied here..?

Did you tell K?

Link to that conky please.
Interactive ... probably has a touch of mrpeachy's interactive LUA script in there.


You could always remove "undecorated" from:

own_window_hints

putting conky in a window make an icon that starts it and click on the [x] to shut it down.

Or the start-stop conky script (ssc.sh) assign that to an icon and it will open a closed conky (group of conkys) or shut them all down.

Start/Stop Conky or another version Start/Stop Conky II

Did you tell K?

Oh yea, he was the first to get an email.

Quoting K (not the MIB K)

Well found, so the moral of the story? Don't do a thing and everything will turn out alright

Think of all those old examples that can serve as a basis for lots of conky files!

this is my button script and conkyrc

the conkyrc is like this currently

template1 ${lua rc_button {btype=1,bname="conkybutton1",blx_off=5,bly_off=50,bw_off=70,bh_off=30,draw=1,text=1,fcol_off={0x000000},txt_off={"BUTTON","OFF"},font_off={"Sans"},fs_off={12},fxadj_off={5},fyadj_off={-17,-2},txt_on={"BUTTON","ON"}}}
TEXT
${cpu cpu0}
                        ${if_match ${template1}==0}the button is off${else}the button is on${endif}

but could easily control an entire conky display

template1 ${lua rc_button  {btype=1,bname="conkybutton1",blx_off=5,bly_off=50,bw_off=70,bh_off=30,draw=1,text=1,fcol_off={0x000000},txt_off={"BUTTON","OFF"},font_off={"Sans"},fs_off={12},fxadj_off={5},fyadj_off={-17,-2},txt_on={"BUTTON","ON"}}}
TEXT
${if_match ${template1}==0}${else}
all your conky stuff
${endif}
