Conky Support Scripts: Show us your "Scripts" & Screenshots of what they do.

Hello again.

I wrote a new widget (a bar graph like on old equalizers) but fully configurable as you can see on the pictures.
Any feedback is welcome if you try it (or don't !)

Edit 28 Feb 2010 : the widget is renamed to bargraph
Edit 03 March 2010 : the bargraph can be drawn on a circular way
Edit 14 July 2010 : add reflection parameter and set-u are now made in a table, it's more easy to configure.

Last version of the script can be downloaded on deviantArt : http://wlourf.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=0#/d2jj1rz

Very impressive!

[wlourf]

thanks ! if you try it on your own, it would be nice to see a capture !

Edit : just for fun (because it can use too much cpu) , a moving equalizer : video here

[wlourf]

Hi all,

While I was working on an equalizer widget, I tried an audio equalizer for conky. Well, it was easy because the work was already done for a screenlet for gnome (Impulse):
https://launchpad.net/impulse.bzr

So the work was only to adapt scripts from python to lua. I've done it for two "themes" default and circle like on the picture.

If you want to try it, you have to set the path in the conkyrc (all variables are set in conkyrc so there is no need to make any changes in the lua script)

And you need to download the C library from the Impulse web site :
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/?content=99383
just copy impulse.so and libimpulse.so into the script folder.

the Lua script call the python script, in fact I use this line because i didn't find a better way to do it, so if you have any ideas !
conky_parse('${exec python impulse.py'}')

In the tar.gz, there is the conkyrc, the lua and python scripts and the two librairies .so.

If you have any question, don't hesitate.

Edit 28 Feb. 2010 : with the help of the auhor of Impulse, I managed to make something faster ! You can see here in action but the sound is crap, sorry for your ears...
I also added peaks like on the video and it is possible to use this widget with the bargraph widget I made a few weeks ago

Edit 10 March 2010 : the conkyrc can be called with an absolute path.
I added last version of the bargraph widget which can be drawn on a circular way.
And another video with better sound

As I post my entry for the January's CotM here, I just want to say THANKS to all people who vote for my conky script because I won this contest !!
Also I updated this script, with :
- today's date can now be set anywere in the arc : yoffset
- today's date can now have an offset (positive or negative) : xoffset
- the main thing is that the calendar is draw only at the start of the conky and when the date change (i.e. the calendar is saved in a PNG file and this is this file that will be displayed in the conky) or if the PNG file is deleted : so the conky become really really fast ...
- it can be drawn on the right side of the screen
(more info on my blog)

See you in February maybe

Some great work , but unfortunately it does not work without some fixing :

~/Desktop/calendar_wheel_1.2a$ conky -c conky-calendar

also two things :

1. conky-calendar
@line48 :

lua_load ~/scripts/cal1.2/calendar.lua

change to :

lua_load ./calendar.lua

>> assume the lua file will sit in the same place as the conky script.
>> otherwise you'll need to start creating a README file. to explain why the files need to be split all over the drive and what happens if you do or don't.

2. calendar.lua
@ line31 :

     calendar_file="/home/wlourf/scripts/cal1.2/calendar.txt"

change to :

    local current_directory=assert( io.popen('pwd'):read("*l") )
    calendar_file= current_directory .. "/calendar.txt"

>> again, assume all required files to make mod/addon/widget/etc work are to be in the same directory.



all the required files in the same place make the thing more portable... with these changes I was able to get it working.

Definitely, I was really impressed by the one you posted on the conky blog for conky of the month. Well, impressed by the innovative way to make the calender. To be honest I did think it looked a bit ... euhm ... ugly (sorry ). This one is innovative and looks great.

lol !
Don't be sorry, tastes and colors, you know ... but in changing a few parameters you can adjust it to your taste! if you like the circular shape of course !
Have a nice day
