i thought that to change from 24 to 12, you just have to set the time arg from %H to %I

Yes, that works for a "digital" output as you see (the 19) and the circle for hours (orange), but the hour hand is a mathematically "calculated" spot.

As you see it's set at the "7" position for 7am, 7pm and 19:00.

Nice try though. Thanks for responding.

Have a GREAT Day

[Bruce M.]

Do you really want hands on a 24hr clock? Okay...If so, change

hours_arc = (2 * math.pi / 12) * hours + mins_arc / 12

to

hours_arc = (2 * math.pi / 24) * hours + mins_arc / 24

Uh, I think...Not tested it

I tried that it didn't work, BUT ... it has to be that calculation though.

Thanks.

Have a GREAT day.

Ah, yes, and ALSO change

local hours=os.date("%I")

to

local hours=os.date("%H")

[Bruce M.]

Ah, yes, and ALSO change

local hours=os.date("%I")

to

local hours=os.date("%H")

That's getting it. Off by a bit.

Thanks londonali1010 - you the lady!!

You might want to make a new thread for your question. This is really for conky related issues.

You can try system, preferences, appearance to change your system theme.

Welcome to a better OS though.

[proxess]

So here's how my new modifications are coming along. I'm trying to make Conky less desktop-intrusive. Added some extra functionality to the colours again.

Clock Rings by londonali1010 (2009)

This script draws percentage meters as rings, and also draws clock hands if you want! It is fully customisable; all options are described in the script. This script is based off a combination of my clock.lua script and my rings.lua script.

IMPORTANT: if you are using the 'cpu' function, it will cause a segmentation fault if it tries to draw a ring straight away. The if statement on line 145 uses a delay to make sure that this doesn't happen. It calculates the length of the delay by the number of updates since Conky started. Generally, a value of 5s is long enough, so if you update Conky every 1s, use update_num>5 in that if statement (the default). If you only update Conky every 2s, you should change it to update_num>3; conversely if you update Conky every 0.5s, you should use update_num>10. ALSO, if you change your Conky, is it best to use "killall conky; conky" to update it, otherwise the update_num will not be reset and you will get an error.


Clock Rings Mod by Proxess (2009)

This modification permits you to add warning colours on both countdown values (batteries, wlan, etc) and status percentages (cpu, file system usage, etc).

v0.2 -- Added Background colouring and alphaing


Clock Rings Mod Mod by Crinos512 (2009)

This modification adds alpha to the warning colours.


To call this script in Conky, use the following (assuming that you save this script to ~/.conkygui/scripts/clock_mod.lua):
	lua_load ~/.conkygui/scripts/clock_mod.lua
	lua_draw_hook_pre clock_rings
]]

settings_table = {
	{
		-- Edit this table to customise your rings.
		-- You can create more rings simply by adding more elements to settings_table.
		-- "name" is the type of stat to display; you can choose from 'cpu', 'memperc', 'fs_used_perc', 'battery_used_perc'.
		-- "arg" is the argument to the stat type, e.g. if in Conky you would write ${cpu cpu0}, 'cpu0' would be the argument. If you would not use an argument in the Conky variable, use ''.
		-- "max" is the maximum value of the ring. If the Conky variable outputs a percentage, use 100.
		-- "bg_colour" is the colour of the base ring.
		-- "bg_alpha" is the alpha value of the base ring.
		-- "fg_colour" is the colour of the indicator part of the ring.
		-- "fg_alpha" is the alpha value of the indicator part of the ring.
		-- "x" and "y" are the x and y coordinates of the centre of the ring, relative to the top left corner of the Conky window.
		-- "radius" is the radius of the ring.
		-- "thickness" is the thickness of the ring, centred around the radius.
		-- "start_angle" is the starting angle of the ring, in degrees, clockwise from top. Value can be either positive or negative.
		-- "end_angle" is the ending angle of the ring, in degrees, clockwise from top. Value can be either positive or negative, but must be larger than start_angle.
		-- "color_coding" is the variable that defines if there's a colour state level
		-- "coding_direction" simply indicates if it's a countdown (false) or a status (true)
		-- "warning" is the value that defines the state of the warning
		-- "warning_colour" is the value that defines the state of the warning
		-- "warning_alpha" is the alpha value of the indicator part of the ring during the state of the warning.
		-- "danger" is the value that defines the state of the danger
		-- "danger_colour" is the value that defines the state of the danger
		-- "danger_alpha" is the alpha value of the indicator part of the ring during the state of the danger.

ok I have a few problems:
1. voffsets have no effect on my conky. I am trying to make my conky horizontal across the bottom and I just need to move the individual "boxes" down but voffsets have no effect
2. my todo list is split up. the tasks do not line up underneath the heading and i believe that has something to do with my voffsets.
3. I do not know how to change the dimensions of my hd bar or my battery percent bar. i have tried adding 0,150 after them and I have looked on conky hardcore but can't find what i need

ok i got the voffsets to work. just need to get to fix my bars. check out the new screenshot. also i need to get my todo list moved over under the heading. if you look it is in the bottom left corner when it should be all the over on the right. any ideas

fixed the bars using bruce's advice about using a cpu i dont have. thanks bruce. just need to figure out how to change the dimensions of battery_bar and fs_bar. also i need to move my todo lists. any help is appreciated greatly

Here's my first run at Conky in the form of a Lua+Cairo widget. The idea is based on Cairo Pies except the pie represents total memory usage.

-- xc,yc - center of the pie
-- r - radius of the pie

function ring_mem (xc, yc, r)

	pat = cairo_pattern_create_radial (xc, yc, 0.2*r,
		                           xc,  yc, r);
	cairo_pattern_add_color_stop_rgba (pat, 0.1, 1, 1, 1, 0);
	cairo_pattern_add_color_stop_rgba (pat, 1.0, 1, 1, 1, 0.1);
	cairo_set_source (cr, pat);
	cairo_arc (cr, xc, yc, r, 0, 2 * math.pi);
	cairo_fill (cr);
	cairo_pattern_destroy (pat);


	cairo_set_font_size (cr, 10)
	cairo_select_font_face (cr, "Coconut",
				CAIRO_FONT_SLANT_NORMAL,
				CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL)	
	cairo_set_line_width (cr, 2.0)

	-- Show total mem usage
	local str1 = conky_parse(string.format('${mem}'))
	local str2 = string.match(str1, "(%d+)")
	local str3 = string.match(str1, "(%a+)")

	cairo_set_source_rgba(cr, 1, 1, 1, 1)
	cairo_move_to (cr, xc-9, yc-1)
	cairo_show_text (cr, str2)
	cairo_move_to (cr, xc-9, yc+9)
	cairo_show_text (cr, str3)
	cairo_stroke(cr)

	-- Get top mem usage
	local str1 = conky_parse(string.format('${mem}'))
	local mem = tonumber(string.match(str1, "(%d+)"))
	local str1 = conky_parse(string.format('${memperc}'))
	local mempct = tonumber(string.match(str1, "(%d+)"))
	
	-- Draw pie
	local angle = -90
	local angle2 = 0
	local tro = 4		-- Text rotational offset (degrees)
	local maxprocesses = 10
	local maxstrlen = 8

	for process = 1, maxprocesses do

		cairo_save(cr)
	
		-- Get top process memory usage
		local str2 = conky_parse(string.format('${top_mem mem %i}', tonumber(process)))
		local mem_process = tonumber(str2)
		local procpct = mem_process / mempct
		angle2 = angle + (procpct*360)

		if angle2 > 260 then
			cairo_restore(cr)
			break
		end	

		-- Get top process name
		local str2 = conky_parse(string.format('${top_mem name %i} ', tonumber(process)))
		local index = string.find(str2,' ')
		
		if (index == nil) then
			cairo_restore(cr)
			break
		elseif (index > maxstrlen) then
			str2 = string.sub(str2, 0, maxstrlen)
		end

		-- Draw pie outline
		cairo_set_source_rgba(cr, 1, 1, 1, 0.2)		
		cairo_arc_negative (cr, xc, yc, 0.2*r, angle2*(math.pi/180), angle*(math.pi/180));			
		cairo_arc (cr, xc, yc, r, angle*(math.pi/180), angle2*(math.pi/180));	
--		cairo_close_path(cr)
		cairo_stroke(cr)

		-- Draw text
		cairo_set_source_rgba(cr, 1, 1, 1, 0.5)	
		cairo_move_to(cr, xc, yc)
		cairo_rotate(cr, (angle2-((angle2-angle)/2)+tro)*(math.pi/180))
--		cairo_show_text (cr, '    '..(procpct*100))
		if (index > maxstrlen) then
			cairo_show_text (cr, '      '..str2..'..')
		else
			cairo_show_text (cr, '      '..str2)
		end		

		angle = angle2 + 3

		cairo_stroke(cr)
		cairo_restore(cr)
	end

	if (angle < 264) then
		angle2 = 267
		cairo_set_source_rgba(cr, 1, 1, 1, 0.2)	
		cairo_arc_negative (cr, xc, yc, 0.2*r, angle2*(math.pi/180), angle*(math.pi/180));
		cairo_arc (cr, xc, yc, r, angle*(math.pi/180), angle2*(math.pi/180));	
--		cairo_close_path(cr)
		cairo_stroke(cr)
		
		if ((angle2 - angle) > 20) then
			cairo_set_source_rgba(cr, 1, 1, 1, 0.5)	
			cairo_move_to(cr, xc, yc)
			cairo_rotate(cr, (angle2-((angle2-angle)/2)+tro+2)*(math.pi/180))
			cairo_show_text (cr, '      '..'other')
			cairo_stroke(cr)
		end
	end
end

I'm not happy with the way it looks right now.


Edit: and I just realized it doesn't really scale properly unless the radius is 75. The text extents functions in Cairo would be so useful on Conky if they worked.

hi, for the battery_bar or fs_bar , try:
${fs_bar 10,150 /home} & ${battery_bar 10,150 BAT0}

*todo list*
