My conky setup initially created with conky-colors. Then heavily modified to suit my needs. Hopefully some will find this useful.

Interesting, I grabbed your code for a few new things for me to look at (your calendar for one) and leave a tip for you.

Your NVIDIA section - you can drop most of your $exec calls, 'nvidia' is a native conky command now.

• ${nvidia threshold} - The threshold temperature at which the gpu slows down
• ${nvidia temp} - Gives the gpu current temperature
• ${nvidia ambient} - Gives current air temperature near GPU case
• ${nvidia gpufreq} - Gives the current gpu frequency
• ${nvidia memfreq} - Gives the current mem frequency
• ${nvidia imagequality} - Which imagequality should be chosen by OpenGL applications

Okay so I've been tooling around with conky, life's been easier with the screen ruler! I didn't even know it existed till 2 days ago. Anywho I setup a base for a conky I'm hoping some of you guys can help me with making it awesome with input with ideas, and suggestions. I was thinking about adding icons to it, and maybe even a lua, also a little weather applet right under the processes. Feel free to add or do whatever you need, I leave net up/down speeds and totals out just because

Here's the conky config file

... I'm hoping some of you guys can help me making it awesome with input with ideas...

Looks like you have a good start on your Conky.

Kinda hard to advise how you should proceed with your Conky, it best to look around at other people's designs and try to incorporate the ideas you like into your design. If you have a specific idea that you want to incorporate, try to read up on how to do it; and if you get stuck, post here and someone will usually happily assist as long as you put some effort into trying to solve the problem yourself first.

This thread is full of good ideas and Sector11 has some great links in his signature to get some inspiration. The more you play around with it, the more you'll get to know what you really want. The HOWTO: VinDSL thread is also a great place to get started with advancing your scripts.

Here's my latest design, done almost entirely with native Conky commands (except a small PHP script to get my pithos music to appear in my Conky)...

Love that conky ... just love it ...

Is that a Final Fantasy character sitting on your "Xubuntu 12.04" - screen isn't big enough for these tired old eyes.

Thanks, here's a closer look at the girl keeping my Conky in check.

I spent many an hour deciding between fang.pngand 9-vivi-c.png.

The girl won out (as usual).

Does anyone have an idea why my Conky doesn't appear to be returning the correct number of running processes. I'm using Xubuntu 12.10 and Linux kernel 3.5.0-30-generic and running Conky 1.9.0.

I checked it using

top

in terminal and the total processes appears to always be correct but the running processes is nearly always incorrect (usually just reads 0).

Could it be a buffer issue?

A nice three post thread with a possible answer.

Lets face it - Confucius say, "Man with two watches never sure of correct time!"

top and htop are not tha same ...

Is the glass half full or half empty?


Did you find the image or create the complete fang sitting?

[GrouchyGaijin]

Hi Guys,

I have a script pulling down my Google tasks.
Then I wrote a script using sed to get the information from the task file into a nice format that works with kaivalagi's text template.


Everything works well unless Conky (the text script I think) decides my list is too long. Then tasks are either cut off all together or odd unrelated letters appear on the screen.


If I pull the text template and just put the text up in the Conky's default color, then all the entries display correctly.


I really want the multicolor functionality though, because it makes things so much easier to read.

So my question is: Has anyone else had this problem? and what is the best solution to get formatted text that updated automatically to display in Conky?


Ideas?

Ideas?

Before or after?
