Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[MoralAnarchy]

it's still acting funny. when i click it will disappear once or twice for a split second then reappear. but when i click on the desktop and on other open windows it will act up like that.

EDIT: Fixed it. own_window_type override did it

Thanks for the help though sector!

[MoralAnarchy]

btw here's the conky i made from sort of scratch. using a lot of the tips i get here. also a nice little screen shot of big bang theory for you all

[dk75]

I copied you code in below the other one and changed

month_max="50 GB"

to

month_max="30 GB"

to see a difference, also changed ${color9} (red) to ${color3} (orange), the red was too hard on my eyes:

${color0}Monthly Transfer Totals${color} ${hr}
${color6}${goto 85}rx${goto 170}tx${goto 265}Total${color}
${execpi 300 vnstat -m |mawk -v last=12 '/[A-Z][a-z][a-z].+12/ {test[++i]=$0} END{i=0; while (test[++i]); if (last>i) last=i-1; else if (last<1) last=1; for (j=i-last; j<i; j++) {$0=test[j]; c1="${color3}"; if ($9>100) c1="${color2}"; print "${color6}"$1, $2 ":${color}${goto 85}" $3, $4 "${goto 170}" $6, $7 "${goto 265}" c1 $9 "${color}", $10}}'}
${color0}${hr}${color}
${color0}Monthly Transfer Totals${color} ${hr}
${color6}${goto 85}rx${goto 170}tx${goto 265}Total${color}
${execpi 300 vnstat -m |mawk -v last=12 -v month_max="30 GB" 'BEGIN{split(month_max, max); if (max[2]=="GB" || max[2]=="GiB") max[1]=max[1]*1024;} /[A-Z][a-z][a-z].+12/ {test[++i]=$0} END{i=0; while (test[++i]); if (last>i) last=i-1; else if (last<1) last=1; for (j=i-last; j<i; j++) {$0=test[j]; c1="${color3}"; total=$9; if ($10=="GB" || $10=="GiB"); total=$9*1024; if (total>=max[1]) c1="${color2}"; print "${color6}"$1, $2 ":${color}${goto 85}" $3, $4 "${goto 170}" $6, $7 "${goto 265}" c1 $9 "${color}", $10}}'}
${color0}${hr}${color}

What did I miss?

Small typo: after "if (..)" clause there is a ";", meaning "end of if" where it need to do something if "if clause" is true:

if ($10=="GB" || $10=="GiB"); total=$9*1024;

should be

if ($10=="GB" || $10=="GiB") total=$9*1024;

To go little easy on conkyrc (to make it cleaner) make BASH script "conky-vnstat-month.sh":

#!/bin/bash

LAST=1
MONTH_MAX="999999999 MB"

function show_help(){
echo
echo "Usage: conky-vnstat-month.sh [-i device] [-l number] [-m \"string\"] [-1 \"string\"] [-2 \"string\"] [-3 \"string\"] [-4 \"string\"]"
echo -e "\tall are optional (you can give it, but it is not required)"
echo "options:"
echo -e "\t-i\t- pass device to get statistic for, eg. -i wlan0"
echo -e "\t-l\t- pass number of month to display, eg. -l 12"

echo -e "\t-1\t- first color, for entire text, eg. -1 \"\\\${color blue}\""

echo -e "\t-3\t- third color, for values below alarm value (see -m option), eg. -3 \"\\\${color green}\""
echo -e "\t-4\t- fourth color, for values above alarm value (see 0m option), eg. -4 \"\\\${color red}\""
echo -e "\t-h\t- this help text"
echo
}

function conky_vnstat(){
	vnstat -m $1 |mawk -v last=$2 -v month_max="$3"\
		'BEGIN{split(month_max, max); if (max[2]=="GB" || max[2]=="GiB") max[1]=max[1]*1024;}\
		/[A-Z][a-z][a-z].+12/ {test[++i]=$0}\
		END{	i=0;\
			while (test[++i]);\
			if (last>i) last=i-1; else if (last<1) last=1;\
			for (j=i-last; j<i; j++)\
				{\
				$0=test[j];\
				c1="'"$6"'";\
				total=$9;\
				if ($10=="GB" || $10=="GiB") total=$9*1024;\
				if (total>=max[1]) c1="'"$7"'";\
				print "'"$4$5"'" $1, $2 ":${color}"\
				"${goto 75}'"$4"'" $3, $4\
				"${goto 175}" $6, $7\
				"${goto 275}" c1 $9 "${color}'"$4"'", $10 "${color}"\
				}\
		}'
}

while getopts ":i:l:m:1:2:3:4:h" opt
do
	case $opt in
		i)	DEVICE="-i $OPTARG";;
		l)	LAST=$OPTARG;;
		m)	MONTH_MAX="$OPTARG";;
		1)	COLOR_TEXT="$OPTARG";;
		2)	COLOR_MONTH="$OPTARG";;
		3)	COLOR_MIN="$OPTARG";;
		4)	COLOR_MAX="$OPTARG";;
		h)	show_help; exit 0;;
		*)	echo "ERROR! Bad argument!"; exit 66;;
	esac
done

conky_vnstat "$DEVICE" $LAST "$MONTH_MAX" "$COLOR_TEXT" "$COLOR_MONTH" "$COLOR_MIN" "$COLOR_MAX"

exit 0

and use it like:

${execpi 300 conky-vnstat-month.sh -l 12 -m "30 GB" -3 "\${color9}" -4 "\${color2}"

btw here's the conky i made from sort of scratch. using a lot of the tips i get here. also a nice little screen shot of big bang theory for you all

Looks nice ...

But if I may, a few suggestions as there are some things that need fixing.

Above TEXT:

• background yes #<<-- transparent is not an option - see own_window section
• xftfont Neuropol:size=8 ## you use size=8 the most and NO size=12

I suggest this for your "own_window section":

own_window yes
own_window_type normal ## now you should use normal so HINTS work
own_window_transparent yes ## this is what you declare transparency
own_window_hints undecorated,sticky,below,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
own_window_class Conky

Below TEXT:
every place you have:

${font Neuropol:size=8}

You can now change to

${font}

And the same of every place you have:

${font 16}

If you use 'search/replace' for the two above you will need to:

Search for: ${font}${font}
Replace with: ${font}

RE ${font 16}
That does nothing except call up your "default" screen font since you are actually calling for a font named "16" that doesn't exist - see the bottom section of the image. My screen font is "sans"

${font}This is a test:

this is ${font 16}font 16${font}
this is ${font 50}font 50${font}
this is ${font 5}font 5${font}
this is ${font sans}font sans${font}

this is ${font sans:size=16}font sans 16${font}
this is ${font sans:size=20}font sans 20${font}
this is ${font sane:size=5}font sans 5${font}

One last thing. There are time that commands like $color $mem / $memperc without the {} around them will cause problems in certain circumstances. kaivalagi, conkyForecast, showed it in a post quite a while back, whish I could remember where. So I always 'suggest' that people use the {} around all conky commands.

ALL of the above are only SUGGESTIONS.

Here is the code with the above suggestions and two additions:

gap_x 10
gap_y 10

and the test lines above are removed.

# killall conly && conky -c ~/conky/test284.MoralAnarchy.conky &

Finally a conky with 'digbat' style fonts I like.

Small typo: after "if (..)" clause there is a ";", meaning "end of if" where it need to do something if "if clause" is true:

if ($10=="GB" || $10=="GiB"); total=$9*1024;

should be

Typo? · · · What typo! · · · You don't make typos!
You're dk75!

Here's what happens:

• The keys move around on your keyboard every now and then to confuse you.

HOWEVER: fixing that 'non-typo' worked like a charm.

And now he comes up with a bash script ...
WOW!!! Look at that: MONTH_MAX="999999999 MB"

A little tweaking and it looks just like the non-typo line.

Super nice stuff dk75, just super!

EDIT! Trust me to forget the image!

[yumm91]

Sector11, looks nice. Can you kindly share the conkyrc that you edited from MoralAnarchy? along with the digbat fonts..

[ragamatrix]

Hi all;
I've made a conky wich it's display your personnal config of xplanet in conky.
I'm not really good in English so :
http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/or...1351520713.png
you must edit crontab to make it work correctly and the file xml:
crontab :

 49 2,5,8,11,14,17,20,23 * * * perl /usr/local/bin/clouds.pl

 */10 * * * *	votre_id /usr/local/bin/xplanet-bg

xplanet.xml

 <background>
while (truth) {
  <static>
    <duration>590.0</duration>
    <file>/home/your_id/.xplanet/xplanet.png</file>
  </static>
  <transition>
    <duration>10.0</duration>
    <from>/home/votre_id/.xplanet/xplanet.png</from>
    <to>/home/your_id/.xplanet/2xplanet.png</to>
  </transition>
  <static>
    <duration>590.0</duration>
    <file>/home/your_id/.xplanet/2xplanet.png</file>
  </static>
  <transition>
    <duration>10.0</duration>
    <from>/home/votre_id/.xplanet/2xplanet.png</from>
    <to>/home/your_id/.xplanet/xplanet.png</to>
  </transition>
}
</background>

(in.xplanet folder)
Then I give you a pack that you have to modify the path in...
Conky_xplanet_pack--->
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/63154177/co...es_scripts.zip
May be you will have to read stuff about xplanet; sorry I only have it in french, it's quite old but it's still good for the old computers...
French doc :
http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/xplanet

You can have an eye on Sandy Hurricane...you can also modify your "longitude and latitude for your country in the xplanet-bg script...

[Sector11]

Hi all;

Conky_xplanet_pack--->

That looks awesome but the link is wrong. When you right click on the dropbox icon you have something like the image below.

Please excuse Google Translate:

Open Dropbox Folder (Ouvrir le dossier Dropbox) - Local on your HDD
Launch Dropbox Website (Lancement Site Web Dropbox) this gives the link:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16070765/Oth..._images.tar.gz

Or use the link globe in the menu: 1_pixel_images.tar.gz

Hope this helps

[Sector11]

Hi all;
