Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[BoredOutOfMyMind]

You can have multiple conkyrc files to load in different areas, which is what I do. I now have the G-Que on top Right in its own conkyrc file, then my time calender and gmail in a script but it looks like they are together. I have yet another script on the left side for system information.

I have looked for your full scripts, as I liked what you did. I have not perfected one rc script, and will move to the other side after I get this one "fixed"- since I was up until 1:30 AM this morning, it may take a while!

If what you are showing is what you would like, I would simply make a guayadeque script and separate it to a point where you want it on the screen.

And thank you and Welcome!

Whatever you need from me, I will share.

Edit - Also the Y should go away once you completely shut Conky down and restart it.

LOL, I was not wanting to break the G-script. I have not finished reading that entire thread and the help there either.

I was wanting to solve the "Y". killall conky, logout, even restart did not solve it.... is there a cache to clear somewhere?

What are you using for your weather/pollen?

BoredOOMM at Gee Mail if you can share?

@Bored

Regarding the pollen script, scroll back a few pages and you can see the wonderful work that mobiledeisel did.

Regarding conky sticking:

ps -e | grep 'conky'

you'll get something like this:

7559 pts/0 00:00:00 conky

to wit you:

kill 7559

Something wonky with my install of conky (could not resist)

~ $ ps -e | grep 'conky'
21801 ? 00:00:11 conky
~ $ kill 21801

After Alt-F2 conky command

~ $ ps -e | grep 'conky'
7465 ? 00:00:00 conky

I just wanted to show you also that you can have multiple setup and staged different conkyrc...

This is one I have that I just kill my processes like Mahngiel pointed out and run a different conky start script, a different forecast, and oh yes, a slightly better background image...

OK, which forecast weather tool are you using? Is it the Accuweather one?

Edit -

If you are using the Accuweather one, I think you may have missed doing this step

Put the conkyweather.otf file in your /home/username/.fonts folder. If you don't have one, create it.

[Mahngiel]

@Bored: just keep killing them all.

@Vast: I just installed Guayadeque, looking like it'll be a nice rhythmbox replacement. Mind throwing me your guaya script?

[VastOne]

Sure....

Of course you will have to have Kaivalagi's Conkyguayadeque py script running.

Here you go....

Edit

For the cover art you also must have conkyGuayadeque-GetCoverart.py running as well.

Edit 2 Also, for the Guayadeque icon to be displayed, you can find guayadeque.png in the guayadeque folder under your home dir

Weather.com and I like the script you have have on the left corner of the "shades" screenshot.

Very nice.

[BoredOutOfMyMind]

I solved the "Y"

duh!

VastOne, do you have a script for the cover art?
