Didn't have time to read all the thread, but I think I see quite a lot of discussion. Maybe there'll eventually be ConkyOS?

Here's mine: (Computer model is a ThinkPad X200)

Sources: Lots -- from here, for the "intelligent" eth0 vs wlan0 network monitor, and a bunch of other places.

Want: 1) Put it back to "integrated desktop mode" (own_window no) because if it's "yes" then it makes my desktop icons disappear until I move the cursor over them, then after I removed the curser they reappear; otherwise I have to contend with that silly verticle line going up the display; 2) using [urlhttp://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=4485]some code like this[/url], make the battery gauge go from green from 100% to 35%, orange from 34% to 20%, and red from 19% down; and probably a few other tiny tweaks here and there.

It's good for my laptop here, 1280x800 doesn't really have the room; I need the other part of the display to even display XGA webpages . I also slightly envy this guy's work http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/462/nelisnetbook2.png (found it here) and also about halfway down here there are some designs/methods that make me turn green.

@ Mk32

Looks good, a lot like the one I first started out with.

Here's my most recent...

[Mk32]

Love that desktop image, where did you get it from?

Would you also mind posting your conkyrc?

As for me, I ended up removing the connection list but kept the active outgoing and incoming counter. When long server names were connected it would mess with the location positioning on of the conky window and go whacky.

Initially I had the memory allocation % thingy but as you can see 10.04LTS has yet to even use 1GB of RAM and with 6GB installed I doubt it would need it. In fact I haven't seen the swap space volume increment by one byte yet.

I noticed the other day that the traffic downspeed and upspeed wasn't being calculated right. Anybody have any clues/suggestions? Also any clues for the color-changing battery bar?

P.S. Love those slant // things for your bar graphs.

colored battery bar?

Mr Google gave it to me; can't remember how I asked him for it, so here it is...

Would you also mind posting your conkyrc?

I'd be happy to post my conkyrc, but keep in mind it really doesn't port well to other computers without a lot of work. The music player section requires Pithos to be installed (along with a php script), the mail has to be configured for your accounts, the storage has to have cut points changed depending on your system, and the fancy ///// bar graphs will crash a standard installation of Conky (which is the real bugger).

I think half the fun is trying to figure out how to get Conky to do the things I want; its like a puzzle. But if you want still want my conkyrc, here it is in its full glory...

Initially I had the memory allocation % thingy but as you can see 10.04LTS has yet to even use 1GB of RAM and with 6GB installed I doubt it would need it. In fact I haven't seen the swap space volume increment by one byte yet.

Lucky you. All my computers are old Pentium4s (or Celerons) donated to me from work (they were headed to the dumpster) that I had to clean, rebuild, and upgrade. I have 2 Gig RAM and tend to hover around 20% - 30%. My max swap gets used around 170K - 200K. Eventually (once I finish my degree), I'll build an ungodly powerful PC that will be a borderline Supercomputer, which will probably be out of date in a matter of months . Till then I'll live with my dumpster diving treasures with RAM and Swap on my Conky.

Also, hasn't 10.04LTS reached its end of life yet? Assuming you are not running a Pentium III Xeon or something, don't let your 6 Gig of RAM go to waste. You (or somebody) paid for that RAM, might as well put it to use with the latest and greatest or at least the current 12.04LTS (which will probably still use no more than a Gig).

I noticed the other day that the traffic downspeed and upspeed wasn't being calculated right.

How did you check it? Is it too high, or too low? We need details man .

Love those slant // things for your bar graphs.

Yup so do I; of course you have to download the Conky source code, edit the fonts.c file, compile, and install to get them to work (well, work without eventually crashing anyways). If you are actually interested in doing that, the modified fonts.c file is given below.

Re: The color battery bar: yes it works but it doesn't fill up like a regular bar. There's no progression: only the outline is filled. I'd give a screenshot but I need to box this thing up and get it out the door soon.

Lucky you. All my computers are old Pentium4s (or Celerons) donated to me from work (they were headed to the dumpster) that I had to clean, rebuild, and upgrade. I have 2 Gig RAM and tend to hover around 20% - 30%. My max swap gets used around 170K - 200K. Eventually (once I finish my degree), I'll build an ungodly powerful PC that will be a borderline Supercomputer, which will probably be out of date in a matter of months . Till then I'll live with my dumpster diving treasures with RAM and Swap on my Conky.

Also, hasn't 10.04LTS reached its end of life yet? Assuming you are not running a Pentium III Xeon or something, don't let your 6 Gig of RAM go to waste. You (or somebody) paid for that RAM, might as well put it to use with the latest and greatest or at least the current 12.04LTS (which will probably still use no more than a Gig).

This laptop is a ThinkPad X200 that I've cobbled together for a hair over $200. Right in my ballpark. 7200RPM 250GB HDD, 6GB RAM, 2.26GHz C2D. Works fine, sounds like it might fit in your budget. It also has to go back because the ThinkLight isn't working. 6GB of RAM is more than I've ever had before, and 250GB is also more than I've had before in a computer (the Intel Mac mini which needs to be sold soon has 2GB RAM (max) and the stock original 60GB HDD).

As for 10.04LTS, the desktop version is EOL but updates still come on down the pipe, even for this AMD64 version. I can't live without GNOME 2 and I don't want to deal with the fallback. It will get very interesting since I might save up for a ThinkPad X220 with a Intel 510 series mSATA SSD and internal standby 7200RPM 250GB HDD (but I'll keep this thing around to run XP and 10.04LTS along with Windows 7). I don't like or want Windows 8 either and Ubuntu seems to be getting worse. Moving on.

How did you check it? Is it too high, or too low? We need details man .

Low. Definitely inaccurate. I'll check back again when I get this thing back, using a online speed test.

I got a question for the experts!

I want my script to display some drive infos only if they're plugged in. So far the relevant part is, for the /dev/sdc1 partition:

${if_empty ${exec df | grep /dev/sdc1}}${else}${voffset -45}
${goto 30}${font Poky:pixelsize=52}H${font}
${voffset -40}${alignc}sdc1: ${fs_free /} / ${fs_size /}} 
${alignc}${color 83A1FF}${fs_bar  4,150 /}${color}
${goto 118}Read ${diskio_read sdc1}/s ${goto 260}Write ${diskio_write sdc1}/s
${goto 118}${diskiograph_read sdc1 25,107 cccccc ffffff -l} ${alignr}${diskiograph_write sdc1 25,107 cccccc ffffff -l}
${goto 40}${voffset -35}${exec mount | grep sdc1 | awk '{print $3}'}${endif}

My problem, is that I can't give the correct mount point argument to fs_free, fs_size and fs_bar command as it's not know until the partition is mounted (I want it to work with any usb-sticks/sd-card). Though I can get the mount point of a drive using

${exec mount | grep sdc1 | awk '{print $3}'}}

I tried doing the following, but it seems the result of exec isn't passed as an arguemnt to fs_free (unlike the behaviour of if_empty).

${fs_free ${exec mount | grep sdc1 | awk '{print $3}'}}

If anyone knows how to fix my problem, it'd be greatly appreciated!

[Petro Dawg]

I got a question for the experts!

I want my script to display some drive infos only if they're plugged in...

Hopefully I understand what you are after...

Typically I will use "df" to pull my used and available space on USB drives and other removable media. My code is something like this...

${execp df -H | awk '/sdc1/ {print $3, "/", $2}'}

You can look at the conkyrc code I posted a couple posts back for its full implementation. My code shows the name of the drive plugged in as well as the used and total space only when the drive is plugged in (which sounds like what you are after).

UPDATE: I've posted the relevant block of code below for easier reference...

[FamillyGuy]

Thank you for the fast answer!

I got it working as the fs_free and fs_size functions doing

${exec df -H | awk '/sdd1/ {print $3, "/", $2}' | sed s/G/GiB/g}

I'd still like to make it works with bar graph, as you mentionned.

Looks good, a lot like the one I first started out with.

Here's my most recent...

Cool

I like the slanted bars
