WoW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You "never" cease to amaze me!

[Bandit]

Came up with slideshow script off the arch forums from like 2009. Worked with it a bit and with a little IF statement I have got conky to show Banshee when its active, but when its off to show a slide show of the pics I have in my Pictures folder.

IF Statement to be put in your conkyrc.

### MUSIC / SLIDESHOW #################################################################################

Now that's neat. Acts as a place holder as well. Really nice idea.

the indicator lines and numbers move according to what you feed it so that the current value is always in the middle
there is also a fadeout effect towards the top and bottom of each dial

here is some code if you want to try it out

*Snicker* What about using this to make a dial-based CLOCK? Interesting challenge for you?

Said in fun of course.

@ mrpeachy

I admire your work and the class you go about in helping people and the amount you share in the Conky Kingdom

It is sad to see some who cannot relate to the joys of sharing and helping just for the sake of sharing

It is like a poker game full of DONKS, by definition one who does not know the game but plays anyway.. and out of that ignorance anything and everything happens

Keep it up... you have my respect

[mrpeachy]

actually that should be pretty easy
you can feed the dial any output you like, as long as it is a number, and it will always display in the middle

just need 3 dials, one for hours, minutes, seconds

the hour dial wouldnt progress with time currently, it would show 1, then 2... not transition between

but it could quite easily

@ VastOne Thanks!

@ sector11 thanks also

[Aquix]

Brilliant mrpeachy, just brilliant.

Your bringing conky to the next level. Can't wait to see what else you can think of.

I figured it would be something like that. I was just joking about it. It just reminds me of an old cylinder-type clock, that's all. They just flipped to the number as it passed anyways. It's really cool no matter how you state it.

Keep it up! Probably a handy thing to have for adding a bit of class and no small amount of style to a setup.

*EDIT* P.S. Good for a laugh. I'm attaching a screenshot of the current weather conditions where I am. It's apparently so hot compared to normal that the weather station can't figure out what the high and low temperatures are supposed to be.

I laughed heartily when I saw it. Thought I'd share the humour. (Yes, I checked and the code works fine. Nothing to fix, it's just funny.)
