Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

What is your skill level with conky?

Ah, nice!

My skill in conky is quite low. I quite not understand the codes really good, just very few ones.
Been writing earlier in thread and learnd something though. Overall ubuntu skills is low too, had it for like 1 or 2 weeks now.
Getting internet stats etc I got working, the only I didn't get to work in my previous script were the CPU temperature.

Well, on to new conky.

There is mention of editing the screen resolution in the haunted.lua file, but nobody ever says specifically what to edit.
Any Ideas?
My screen resolution is 1024 X 768.

Well, you posted the LUA script, how about the conky file?

That 'haunted.lua' makes a rather busy clock on the screen but I end up with "unknown variable" and had to change the:

    lua_load ~/scripts/haunted.lua
    lua_draw_hook_pre ring_stats

to

    lua_load /media/5/Conky/LUA/haunted.lua
    lua_draw_hook_pre clock_rings

"ring_stats" does not exist in the LUA script other than in the instructions.
Search the LUA script for "function conky" and it will tell you what to use:

function conky_clock_rings()

in the conky file command "lua_draw_hook_pre" 'conky_' is not required but

lua_draw_hook_pre conky_clock_rings

will work just as well (tip from mrpeachy)

hahahaha well he did say

all over the desktop!

And you certainly covered that! Nice work!

I did all that learning from the conky super-thread here at ubuntuforums.org and the man page, and examples.

If I make the battery bar code like this:

${battery_bar 9,160} like the others, it doesn't work...

Here's what it looks like:



I'd like to:

a) make the text below the load indicators (the 0.50 = 25%; 1.00 = 50%...) smaller.
b) fix the battery bar so that it is green when fully charged, then turns more and more reddish as it depletes...earlier code (using ${if_match } type code) didn't work...
c) some kind of limiting code so that I can get my connection monitor back without spilling over in characters.

I work on a 1280x800 display as you see, so the browser/text app (GIMP is barely useable on this small of a display...) gets about 1000 pixels and there is enough on the margin to see conky...

EDIT: Once we get it to fit the screen then maybe we can work on getting it to display the weather info properly.
This is how it looks so far after adding those tweaks you mentioned to the LUA script.
The first ones is with the maximum width set at 1024, the second one with the maximum width set at 1366, and the third one is with the maximum width set at 800. The LUA clock now stays in the same place. The Conky itself is what now needs to be fixed.

NOTE: It seems like the Conky is to large and needs to be downsized somehow, but anything I do in the .conkyrc to the minimum size and maximum width has no effect on the overall size of the Conky, it just moves it around on the screen.

So I have something that is causing a bit of confusion for me. I have an issue with my wired stats not really showing up with the up/downspeed graphs and other counters. The ip shows up and is correct. I have also tried using vnstat and it won't collect any stats for the eth0 connection either. The wireless section works correctly though...

Does anyone have any ideas?? My conky version is 1.9.0 and I am running on Mint 16...

Thanks

Sector11: Thank You, Thank You.
Here is the .conkyrc

That conky is designed to be spread out all over the screen.
You may be better off starting a new one.

In a terminal:

sudo ifconfig

you may not need the 'sudo' I do.
and then in the same terminal:

vnstat

Post the results.

Yes, that's what I wanted, 1 Conky spread out over the whole screen. I just want it to display everything over the whole screen, instead of the 3/4 it's now displaying.

Starting a new one???

I'm not that good with Conky yet. I could change colors, move a few LUA rings around, but that's really been it. I was kind of hoping for an easy solution to fix the overall size of the Infinty Conky on my 1024 X 768 screen.

I still like the way it displays the info, just not the LUA clock. Will delete the LUA clock and work on trying to donsize the Conky itself to fit my screen (maybe even move the day of the week to the left of the digital clock instead of being below the line under the digital clock)

Thanks for the help.
Being as I am extremely stubborn and not likely to give up too soon, I'm going to try to make this Conky work somehow. There has got to be a way to downsize it to fit my screen.
Stubborn is not my middle name, but I do answer to it a lot.
