Thanky you Kerry_S, Pretty much exactly how i wanted it <3
I like this thread because then people can take and give ideas/parts of their conkyrc.

Where is the conky.rc file?

Great thread guys!

There is none made at install, you must make your own by copying to your home dir. The sample stock .conkyrc is located at:
/usr/share/doc/conky/examples/conkyrc.sample.gz
rename to .conkyrc and move to your home dir.

for trial & error configuring, use system monitor to kill the conky process & use a shell to start it after editing the conkyrc.

We've got a bunch built up here:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=26162

Anyone have one that shows current XMMS status?

I'm using the example config found in /usr/share/doc/conky/ with minor edit, which I don't find particularly well looking, but pretty informative.

add this to your conkyrc file:

Code:

---

# Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)
double_buffer yes

---

Open up the Xorg configuration file (usually /etc/X11/xorg.conf) with your favourite text editor, and find the line that says:
Section "Module"
Then, after that line, add:
Load "dbe"
Restart Xorg (my preferred method is the good-ole control+alt+backspace) and enjoy.

You need to enable double buffering both in conkyrc (double_buffer yes) and in xorg.conf (Load "dbe" in Section "Module")

hey, guys, nice Conky's, will use some of those things combined, but does anybody know how to get text within a graph, I've seen some screenies with text in them, do you have to use multiple conky's for that?

Thnx anyways, Casper

Could you please use thumbnails instead of full images for the sake of those who either have no broadband connection or limited traffic volume?

Would be very nice from you, thanks in advance.

np. just did. cant stand the file size restriction on png tho. makes it impossible to upload a 1440x900 screens.

Thanks. I can't say that I was going for an LCD look, just simplicity, but I see it now ;)

Tony.

It would be even cooler if you could throw a drop shadow on the text and have it still be readable (probably impossible)

You could change the default text colour ;)

Tony.

I like conky, but I like to keep it minimal. I dig a desktop that looks like a picture, without a lot of clutter and stuff.

You'll have to look close to get an idea of it. Basically it's a two-line summary with everything I need centered at the bottom of the screen. Uppercase, outlined, 7-point (yes, 7-point) sans.

The only downside is that with it centered like that, it tends to shift slightly as the numbers change; no doubt I could get that fixed if I really cared.

By the way, that's Conky 1.4.4-1 out of feisty. I have to run the edgy kernel since I use an RT61 wireless card on that machine, and I can't be bothered to rebuild the drivers. [-(

How can I get conky to look like this, font and all?

This is a good place to start.

Conky runs off a text file, which you can edit to show exactly what you want in that picture ... plus more or minus less, as you like.

Thanks. That's the one -- Grub to desktop in 27 seconds. :shock:

I didn't realize it was famous ... but I guess the guide did get dugg, which in some circles is almost famous. :D

The wallpaper, by the way, came from http://www.interfacelift.com ...

I want it without the black background,how is it possible ?

Post your conkyrc file blonder. Thats the only to know what errors where made.

yes its now another conkyrc

I went a bit over the top with external scripts and such, but they allow me to highlight stuff.

I looked at using xft, but then the cpugraph looks out of place and conky eats up a whole 2% if my cpu (I wouldn't normally care, but conky shows itself eating up so much :P)

# Shellscript:        wordwrap - wrap lines on word boundaries
# Author    :        Heiner Steven <heiner.steven@odn.de>
# Date      :        2001-12-10
# Requires  :       
# Category  :        Text Utilities
# SCCS-Id.  :        @(#) wordwrap        1.4 04/09/24
##########################################################################
# Description
#        A very simple text formatting program. The input is read
#        word by word.  All words are joined using a space (ASCII
#        32) character. If "-j" was specified, each line is
#        filled up to the maximum line length, or the next empty
#        line before it is printed. Each continued line can be
#        offset by a number of blanks.
#
# Note
#    o        Leading whitespace is ignored
#    o        An AWK program actually formats the input. It is written in
#        a way to be portable to a wide range of AWK dialects.
#    o  thanks for Samus-Aran for suggesting the "-l" option
#
# Caveats
#    o        Should have an option for keeping whitespace inbetween words

if you need to remember the import command, you can just 'Ctrl-r' it and start writting import to see when you've used import in the past. you can keep pressing 'Ctrl-r' to scroll through all the times you've used it. :)

edit, just press tab to select it

I haven't payed much attention to the colors yet because i'm trying to figure out how to keep the text of the top functions (memory, pid etc) aligned..i posted it in a thread but still no answer :P here's my file

Alrighty, I finally got it mostly the way I want; I still end up hunting for new things that I might want to add; but no big deal.

The only thing I gotta say, is WOW is it addictive to play around with these configurations and settings, it's great! Pretty simple layout, I took the base from one of the posts in here, modified some of the stuff that I wanted displayed, colors, etc, but this works for me.

use_xft yes

hi, i think it's the two lines above which cause the misalignment. it's to do with using xftfont.

My conky has the bar across the top. How do I get rid of that? Every screenshot I see doesn't have the bar.

*edit:
Never mind, using fluxbox, just loaded it in to startup, and logged out and back in.

Nice stuff!!!

A shout out for Deviantart.com for killer artists and wallpaper.

total n00b here.

my .conkyrc uses two scripts which i've frankensteined from various persons posting to this thread (see attached):

one for a calendar

and another for weather

i have a few things left to do, and would be most grateful were someone willing to advise me.

first, i'd like to indent the complete output of a script, if possible. any indentation, tabbing, aligning et al of the calendar script, for example, only affects the first line, and the script file itself is, at present, beyond my abilities to manipulate to my visual satisfaction.

second, i'd like to include xml text from google calendar, most likely by way of an rss script. a direct call to google calendar xml via the rss script(s) posted in this thread displays in one single looooooooong line, however, which leads me to believe that a stylesheet is necessary. alas, stylesheets too are beyond my humble means.

calendar stuff is important to me because i'm using xubuntu, and the calendar function therein (orage) is ... ... ... still in development, it seems.

any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks!
