Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

I made mine so that it would be narrow enough to fit below my side panel, which contains a desktop switcher and window list. The config could not be more than 130px wide, but had over 600px to work with for height.

Also note the text overlaying the graphs - It took a bit of experimentation, but I pulled it off through the use of the $voffset tags.

Thanks to conky's man page, I was able to put this together.

Enjoy.

Does anyone know how to access pidgin from the command line to show if you have any new messages?
Or the system tray.

I know this was a while ago (a year), but I've also been wondering about that, so if someone knows, please tell.

[jjgomera]

help!!, this is so addictive and i can't stop

Here's my conky with new structure, by modules, amarok and amule modules are conditional, if the process isn't run they disappear at all.

By the way, i think there is a bug in conky, because section TEXT can't start with a conditional variable, so conky draw more and more line, don't overwriting itself, i've had to add a empty line first to patch that.

[corney91]

Conky files seem to come in two varieties: the vertical bar on either the left or the right, or the horizontal bar at the top or bottom. I'm wondering, does anyone here have a VASTLY different conky setup? I'd love to see something real art-student level.

There's been one that had the time in the middle integrating nicely with the wallpaper. This was quite a few months back and I'm going to bed now, so I'll find it for you tomorrow

Soon, I'm going to build a conky from scratch and try something different as well, just as soon as I'm through my exams

PS: I would post my screenie but I'm only using a CPU and Network graph atm

OK, Here's mine...I have wasted time oh my....one question, does anyone know if there is a listing anywhere with the color #'s, ya know like CC000 etc...if you have any questions let me know. BTW, I know the wallpaper ain't the best but I actually took the pic so to me its pretty cool....

[unutbu]

Neat picture!

/etc/X11/rgb.txt has common names for various RGB values. To convert from the 0--255 decimal values to hexadecimal, you can use GIMP's color selector or use the command line, something like

echo "obase=16;ibase=10;255" | bc

or save this to a file called 'dec2hex'

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
from string import atoi
print "%x%x%x" % tuple(map(atoi, sys.argv[1:]))

Make it executable:

chmod 755 dec2hex

then run it like this:

% dec2hex 123 45 67
7b2d43

What is the Folding Progress about? Are you doing a very long computation?

Glad you asked....http://folding.stanford.edu/ there is a ubuntu team, I have been folding for years, but my latest is this OC quad core beast..I have seen the tag line, my computer helps look for cures, how bout yours? It's a great project just looking for computers to run on, you never even know its running and in the end maybe just help find a cure.
