Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

Thanks again.
Everything is working great, except for one little problem: I have a 1024x768 screen. It doesn't quite fit. Here is a screen shot




I think I'm going to have to do something with the Conky Lua as well to make everything fit. Might change to one I saw in the Conky Mega Thread you linked me to.

There is not much you can do to resize it right now.
The columns could be made less wide but I would have to make it possible to pick one temperature unit first otherwise the temperature line would get longer than the columns when the temperature is high (above 100 F) or low (below 0 F) enough.
There are also a few things that have hardcoded postions I would need to work on to make the column width adjustable.

I would need to make a alternate layout for the script to do any more complicated resizeing.

Most of this is fairly complicated because of the buttons so I don't know when I will have time to work on it.

You can make the radar images on the right side smaller fairly easily right now though.
Do you want to try that?

The two conky's conflict so badly It won't make a difference in my first Conky Lua, which has been cut off pretty badly on the bottom. I would have to choose one over the other. I would like to have both, but if I had to make a choice it will have to be my first Conky Lua.

I'll look around and see if any other conky will work with the area that's left (or can be made to work) that will display the system info I want and have a large analog clock as well. I think I'm probably going to have to give up a little here and there to get both a conky and your conkyWeather to play nice together.

EDIT: Decided to keep everything installed until I can find a fix from someone (put too much time into this to give up on it), just deselected it in the Startup Applications menu. Will use the terminal when I need the info.

I like this conkyWeather too much. I'm thinking of changing the color to one that would be more visible in all my changing backgrounds (all 20 something scenic landscapes with slidewall), something like a high visibility chartreuse green. Will have to read up on the color codes and where to find the script to change it.

So close, if I could just re-size to 20%-30% smaller everything would work real nice together.

Just an idea here...

Now I'm by no means an expert programmer so I'm not sure how difficult (or possible) it would actually be, (or how much system resources it would eat up), but couldn't you set up your start up script in an infinite loop so that one Conky Lua is run, then the script sleeps for about 30 seconds, and then the script closes the first conky lua and opens the second, and the sleeps for about 30 seconds, then closes the second conky and reopens the first? That way you could set up one conky to run the weather info text and a separate conky to run just the weather map and they would alternate displays.

Or something like that.

The weather Radar map has a button that brings it over in place of the weekly forecast (pretty cool idea on the part of arclance). The problem I'm having is the conkyweather takes up to much of the screen. It covers up half of my Conky Lua.

I need to re-size the conkyWeather down 20%-30% (I thought it would be the same size as Jedcurtis's conkyWeather) to clear the area needed for the Conky Lua (It runs all the way to the bottom of my screen).

EDIT: Having a hard time with color code for chartreuse green. Found FF1900/RED and FF08DE/(which is a pinkish purple).One of these might work in all nature backgrounds,but chartreuse is an elusive color. Just ain't crazy about purple.

You know you can use the name don't you?

That does not work with lua scripts.
Cairo (used for pretty much everything in a conky lua script) takes rgb triplets or rgba quartets not hexcolors.
There is a little lua function out there to convert hexcolors to rgb triplets but my scripts don't use it.

Party Pooper!

OH well, the list does come with the decimal code and that I know you can use in LUA I did with some of mrpeachy's codes.

In order to resize it you are probably going to have to change font sizes to something smaller and edit everything all over again to make it the correct size. I know it sounds difficult but there is no real way to resize conkies yet. I think I remember seeing mrpeachy messing around with movable and resizeable conkies but I might be wrong.

[AndyOpie150]

Lots of good info from everyone, thanks for all the help guys.
I don't mind doing things the hard way, that's one of the best way to learn.
I'm going to take it real slow on editing to re-size, making sure I have all the info in front of me before jumping in.
Making mistakes is another way I learn, just hoping to keep it to a minimum.

When I get this all accomplished I'll post a "This is what this newb had to do to get this to work on a little 1024x768 screen" and how to change the color of the script (proper credit going where it should of course). Screen shot of how everything turns out as well.

Edit: Just put the chartreuse Green hex code into an rgb converter and came out with the same rgb triplet code as what Sector11 posted (thanks again Sector11)
