Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

I am going to have to get on the ball with my weather script, so that it outputs everything the xslt version does, but in a much simpler way.

Done

Thanks Bruce for all your work. I don't know about you, but I gotta take a break and give my mind a rest. Will come back tomorrow with fresh perspective.

If you did that I'd only be running 1 conky.
I'd incorporate the weather.pl into my conkymain
I'm still watching Conky Weather Revisited V2

OK, see you tomorrow.

One more time . . . .

Thanks to Salpiche for the following corrected ./.startconky script:


Code:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 20
conky -c ~/.conkyscripts/conkymain &
sleep 3
conky -c ~/.conkyscripts/conkyweather &
exit

This executed the original scripts that Bruce M. and I have spent so many hours on today. I will try and send a screenshot next.

Bruce - I will start on Phase 2 tomorrow. Thanks again to all. =D>

Glad it worked! Awesome!

I've read a couple of posts from this thread, and I have to say I'm impressed! But the configuration seems kinda complex for a noob, wouldn't be nice to maybe post a small gui where all features become modular? Like I can check on "weather", "system resources" and "rss", maybe select a couple of "theme colors" and a conkyrc would be automatically generated?

I'm just saying, this conky looks really powerful and it could easily be evolved into a more static "widget" platform for less experienced users.

I rarely use conky for more than to display the time and date, but here is a recent experiment of mine. Conky displays the date and time, cpu and mem percentages, upload and download speeds and what mpd is playing.

Here is what it looks like (at the bottom of the screen):



Here is my conkyrc:

background yes
use_xft yes
xftfont Sans:size=10

xftalpha 0.8
update_interval 2
double_buffer yes

own_window no
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_type normal
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

draw_shades no
draw_outline no
draw_borders no
draw_graph_borders no
stippled_borders 0
border_margin 1
border_width 1
default_color 0b093a
default_outline_color a6b38d

alignment top_left
gap_x 75
gap_y 7

no_buffers yes
uppercase no
cpu_avg_samples 2
net_avg_samples 2
override_utf8_locale no

use_spacer no
maximum_width 1000
minimum_width 890

TEXT
${font Sans:bold:size=10}${exec date "+%A, %e %B"} - ${time %H :%M} ${font Sans:bold:size=10}cpu: $font${cpu}% ${font Sans:bold:size=10}mem: $font $memperc% ${font}${downspeed eth0} Kb/s ${font Sans:bold:size=10}down $font ${upspeed eth0} Kb/s ${font Sans:bold:size=10}up ${if_running mpd} ${alignr}${font Sans:bold:size=10}$mpd_artist - $font ${mpd_title 8} $font${mpd_bar 7, 100} ${font Sans:bold:size=10}$mpd_elapsed / $mpd_length

But then that would spoil the whole point of this adventure.

I mean it's the thrill of the hunt, the challenge, the same stuff of Star Trek!!!!
