Very nicely done! Congrats

in wun.lua everything that is on the timer happens between lines
1453 and 1557

i dont put the download and processing code in directly, all that stuff is in individual functions, above the main function, and it is the functions that are called when the timer is activated
then the functions put all the data into tables and then the tables are sent to the weather template on line 1573

Great! I still have a lot that I need to learn and stuff I want to do (cleaning up the code for one), and I still have to figure out the green dots, which I assume track the download and processing steps. I found the second two and put an if desktop==7 for them, but I haven't been able to find the first one yet. I'll work on it some more tomorrow. Right now it's past my bedtime (after midnight here). Good night, and thanks again.

the first dot is set up in lines 1448 to 1462
that was a hard one to figure out how to get it to change color when the script was updating because essential the code is frozen during updates

Success!! I got the pollen stuff incorporated, and got the indicators to only appear on the desktop that wun is running on. Now, if I could just figure out the 5 pixel movement. Oh well, now I have new stuff to play with. Like changing all of the cat commands, and figuring out what other cool info I can get from the computer or the net and add to conky.

Hey guys how do you display right-to-left (RTL) languages in conky? I enter text RTL with a proper font specified but it is displayed LTR.

TEXT
${font Alvi Nastaleeq:size=60}خوش آمدید$font

I don't have RTL configured here but would this work?

TEXT
${alignr 5}${font Alvi Nastaleeq:size=60}خوش آمدید$font

The "5" will bring it 5 pixels off the right edge.

You can still use ${goto xx} and ${alignc} or ${alignc xx} ${alignc -xx} as well.

Let us know how you make out. It works here:

I guess I wasn't able to explain myself. I don't mean alignment of the text within conky. I meant letters itself are being displayed in the wrong order. If you look at the text and you look at the output, the order is all wrong. English is a Left to Right language (i.e. A B C --->), the language i'm trying to enter is Right to Left (<--- خ و ش) but it is being displayed as english (LTR) instead of its proper order (RTL):

خ و ش is being displayed as ش و خ

You can compare in your code and conky screenshot as well. I hope this makes some sense.

OOPS! Now I understand
Welcome becomes --- > over there ...

Yea, I did an oopsie ... Really strange as it sat in my text editor correctly

Maybe a "locale" setting? Wish I could help... but out of my league now.

Maybe here? ... not Persian but ...

[mrpeachy]

is this what you were after?
see the yellow text at the top


done by a simple lua script

function conky_rtl(t)
local ltab={}
    for i in string.gmatch(t, "[%a%p%d%s]") do
        table.insert(ltab,1,i)
    end
local t=table.concat(ltab)
return t:gsub("[{}]","")
end--function

i'm loading the script above text, using it below
text is entered between curly brackets {}

lua_load /home/mcdowall/lua/rtl.lua

TEXT
${color yellow}${lua_parse rtl {hello world here is some reversed text}}

i think there is a better way to send lua the text without using {}, as you cant use { or } in the text with this method

This would solve one part of the issue. But most RTL languages use words that join together (e.g. خ و ش is actually written as خوش ).
