HOWTO: VinDSL Conky Script

[wojox]

19-NOV-2012/TESTING

[INDENT]

Ubuntu 13.04 / Conky 1.9.0-2 / Lua / Unity / Banshee / Conkywx 0.7.9 - Imperial Weather Graphics

Nice. I like the theme, wallpaper and colours you got there.

Cheers!

Looking better, all the time, thanks to Paramvir...

The new weather icons look great! But now the moon phase icon looks quite boring in comparison.

Is there a moon phase icon set that can match the weather icons?

Hi dtokarz,
Yes, it looks like there is a moon phase icon set available, in Conkywx, but I don't know if it matches the 'condition' icon sets.

Haven't gotten that far, yet -- I just started playing with the Conkywx 0.7.9 graphics, yesterday.

I might add, the data dump (above) is a NOT finished product.

Angelaki asked for a full set of scripts, for testing, and that's what I gave 'em -- warts and all. LoL!

I'll work on the finer details, this week, and we'll see where it leads...

Vin where are you setting the weather icons offset or height? I have to adjust the conky for my screen size and had everything good to go but the new changes moved the icons. I don't see where they are set?

Hi AK44,
Using this template, as an example, I'm specifying the position (and size) of the five (5) new "condition" icons here...

"PIC" is the big, current condition icon (next to the current temp).

"D2I" - "D5I" are the small, forecast condition icons (near the bottom).

Thanks man, you're too quick for me (and I'm too quick to ask questions) as I was just coming back to say I found it. Now to just figure out why my moon phase isn't working...

@ Paramvir

I just noticed... the current condition icon just switched to a nighttime icon, now that we're past sunset, here.

WoW! Just WoW!

Nice job, man!

That's cool! You probably saved some typing/head scratching for others...

BTW, nice wall!

Thanks. Ok I hate to be that guy but can you give me a hint of where to look for the moon phase setup? I am apparently missing something as it doesn't show up for me. I thought it was a font issue but it appears I have them all. I can upload the conf file that controls it if it would help. I know questions are sometimes frowned on here but this isn't really mentioned in the how-to.
