Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

Here's mine:

Two things,

1. With a name like that you need to find a green TUX, not a blue one.
2. Where did you get that wallpaper? I want one.

Tux in green:

• http://tux.crystalxp.net/en.id.2556-green-tiny-tux.html
• http://tux.crystalxp.net/en.id.2600-green-guitar.html

I kinda like that last one.


Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day.

Yeah, he's right, but here's a direct link in case the wallpapers on that page change: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_b...the_giant.html

lol, thanks, but I think I'll stick with my frozen blue tux.

Fellow conkerers, conkystadors, and conk-o-holics!

I'm wondering if I could somehow pipe a "fold" command (say, "fold -sw40") to the "mpd_smart" line in the following:

# stuff after 'TEXT' will be formatted on screen
TEXT
${if_running mpd}${color FC8820}Music Player Daemon: $color
${font Powderfinger Type:size=7}${mpd_smart}${color FC8820}$font
$mpd_status $mpd_elapsed/$mpd_length
$endif

In the screenshot, if you compare the small "conkympd" window with the Tilda terminal's NCMPC output you can see that the "mpd_smart" line of the "conkympd" window has the long artist name cut short... (while NCMPC has it nicely scrolling in the bottom, by the way — but that's another story).

Good choice!

Crinos - glad to hear the DSL news! Hope it works out well for you.
Here's a couple of fun questions for all the "conkystadors" (I liked that one):

1) I love my script I wrote to detect and output mounted devices, but I'd like to improve it. Namely, it currently outputs in reverse of the order I would prefer, because it's an iterating loop counting DOWN lines from a file. Is there a way I could take the entire output and sort it without having it output to yet ANOTHER file before it goes to conky?

2)This is not really conky related per se, but what the heck. I have a terminal embedded in my desktop. I have it starting via sessions, has a specific title and is embedded via rules in compiz. Anybody know how to a)turn off the cursor at start (right now I type setterm -cursor off everytime it opens), and b)make it immune to the Show Desktop command? It's already set non-minimizable but that doesn't block show desktop. Something similar to conky's lovely own_window_type override ?

3)Not a question, but a statement: I LOVE THIS THREAD.

I have created a tomboy plugin for my app, it could be converted for use in conky quite easily if any one wants to try...

See sig for link to said app...

It's definitely possible. It just depends on what exactly you want to do. Here's 9 lines of python that prints the last 5 notes.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import dbus, os
if not os.popen('pgrep tomboy').read(): exit()
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
boy = bus.get_object('org.gnome.Tomboy','/org/gnome/Tomboy/RemoteControl')
notes = boy.ListAllNotes()
for i in notes[-5:]:
   print boy.GetNoteContents(i) + '\n'

[brerbridge]

hmm.. yes. sounds good, think i'll have to play with this tomorrow. thanks for the good work, again, kaivalagi.
