I'll have to package it up ... it's spread out over a few directories and you'll need to get v9000 installed. I'll trade you for a couple of brownies

Later tonight ... or tomorrow ... I'll have it all sorted out and a tar.gz made.

I'll make a whole pan for you!
Thanks Sector11

My new look!

Code? What code?

11 images, an awk script (dk75 - calendar) 3 lua scripts; draw-bk.lua, v9000 lua {weather} and easysid's Mechanical Clock.

Wow! That is almost as cool as the member who used the cockpit of a jet fighter for the background, and his Conky was superimposed on the guages.
I like it. Almost a Steam Punk flair to it.

EDIT: And the gears and cogs move! OK. Dead even for coolness with the fighter jet.

I like it.
Gimped the clock hands of this version to match the desktop.

I did forget one thing. These only run on Desktop #1 (except email one) so you need to add "sticky"

Setup requires:
1. wget
2. vnstat
3. hddtemp
4. lm-sensors
--------------------------------------------
1. Download and install v9000 as per instructions:

## The latest script is a lua only weather script. aka: v9000
## also the v9000 support thread
## http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/to...ther-in-conky/
##
## the file:
## http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19008369/wea...000.lua.tar.gz
##
## mrpeachys LUA Tutorial
## http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/to...ipts-in-conky/

2. Move :
- ~/conky-s11/v9000.lh.lua

- to
- ~/v9000/v9000.lh.lua

you will need to edit line 11 in that file the rest remains as is, obviously
others are not sector11:
======================
--enter username in quotes like this username = "yourname"
local username = "sector11"
package.path = '/home/'..username..'/.v9000_config.lua'
require '.v9000_config'
======================

OPTIONAL Stuff:

Temperatures: I use the platform method:
http://conky.pitstop.free.fr/wiki/in...nsors_%28en%29

I created a ~/.vnstatrc (included as non-hidden vnstatrc) to get rid of the
Nov '13 - that ' was playing hell with scripts.

Also, being Canadian I changed the date structure to "3 Nov 13" you may wish
to modify those. (lines 16-22)

You will find the original unmodified "zip" from easysid in:
~/conky-s11/MechClock/conky-mechanical-clock-master.zip

All my new conkys use "monofur" font. As spacing is critical to conkys the
choice is yours but it will be a lot of editing to change them

Any questions - just ask!

I don't remember seeing a jet fighter.

I saw a little piper cub type plane though, that was cool. I did the Space Shuttle though.

I like it.

I tried to get hands like that just couldn't make it work, tried grabbing the colours from the gears ... I made a mess. I like those though!
Are they coffee flavoured as well?

## Original idea by: GrouchyGaijin
## This idea by: Stinkeye - Jan 2013
## With another tweak by: arclance
## Final tweak by: Sector11
## click to start, click to stop

##if pgrep -f "conky -c /media/5/Conky/S11_VSIDO_v9.conkyrc"
##then
##	pkill -xf "conky -c /media/5/Conky/S11_VSIDO_v9.conkyrc"
##else
##	gnome-terminal -e "conky -c /media/5/Conky/S11_VSIDO_v9.conkyrc"
##fi

## not running in a terminal
## remove: gnome-terminal -e

## Tweaked

if pgrep -f "conky -c $1"
then
	pkill -xf "conky -c $1"
else
#	wmctrl -s 3 && conky -c "$1"
	conky -c "$1"
fi

The question came up over at #! by Unia ... I responded.

So as I promised ... I am here to pass on Unia's comment: That's amazing!

It belongs to GrouchyGaijin, stinkeye and arclance.

Your welcome.
I've always told people: Sweet tooth doesn't cut it, I've got Sweet Teeth!

Looking for a screenshot at sometime in the future.

Ok Give me a day or two, looks more extensive than anticipated but fun..

@ runrickus

Another oops!

In the conky:

# Default and Minimum size is 256 - needs more for single commands that
# "call" a lot of text IE: bash scripts
 text_buffer_size 1024

Increase that to:

# Default and Minimum size is 256 - needs more for single commands that
# "call" a lot of text IE: bash scripts
 text_buffer_size 1536

The calendar was missing the last row of days ... so under TEXT change:

TEXT
${lua conky_draw_bg 10 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.4}
    ${color6}${time %b}${color}
${execpi 7200 ncal -h | ~/conky-s11/scripts/ncal.awk}
    ${color6}${time %Y}${color}

to:
TEXT

${lua conky_draw_bg 10 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.3}\
    ${color6}${time %b}${color}
${execpi 7200 ncal -h | /media/5/Conky/scripts/ncal.awk}
    ${color6}${time %Y}${color}

to preserve the vertical spacing.
