Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

Hey all, just getting started using conky - does anyone have any experience with the "eve" function? I can't get it to work, I'm sure I'm just messing up the syntax, but I even downloaded a python script that's supposed to fix it but isn't working.

Script here: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/sh...?content=85215

Just a post of someone's conky.conf with a working eve section would be great.

eve? As in "apple & Adam"? - scrambling for Google - OH!! a MMORPG - ummmm not me but I learned something today.

Thanks - sorry I can't help.

My first post! Thought I'd share my latest desktop with you all.
The font I'm using is Eurostar. I also have a customized rainlendar, dockbarX, custom icon theme and custom lua script for the ring display. I'll post it later as a lua widget when I have time. Happy conkying!

And another excellent conky. Post your scripts too, as you might have read we like stealing each others ideas here

There's an ${eve api_userid api_key character_id} command, no idea if it's of any use (know little more about eve than Bruce ). See : http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html

[arpinux]

Can't you do something like:

${image ${time %S}.png}

I've never tried something like this, but might be fun to try and see what happens.

got the answer !!!!!
so here it is: to make a ordered slideshow from a folder, i use a template (inspired by Crinos512 templates on CH!)

#!/bin/bash
# conky slideshow.sh
# usage:
# ${execp ~/scripts/conkyslide.sh}
#
NB=`date +%S` # image refresh >> 1 per sec 

echo "\${image /home/arp/scripts/conky_lingerie3D/manara/$NB.png -p 0,0}"

exit 0

and so, as long as i've got pics named 01.png, 02.png .... it works !!
thx to proxess for the idea & crinos512 for template

OK, after seeing the second response, I got your code and I had NO IDEA there was an ${eve} command for conky.

After reading the variables:

eve
api_userid api_key character_id

Fetches your currently training skill from the Eve Online API servers (http://www.eve-online.com/) and displays the skill along with the remaining training time.

and looking at your code:

${alignc}${texeci 300 /home/yourusername/.conky/eve/eve-get.py}${color}name ${color1}${texeci 300 /home/yourusername/.conky/eve/eve-name.py}     ${color}race ${color1}${texeci 300 /home/yourusername/.conky/eve/eve-race.py}     ${color}balance ${color1}${texeci 300 /home/yourusername/.conky/eve/eve-balance.py} ISK     ${color}skillpoints ${color1}${texeci 300 /home/yourusername/.conky/eve/eve-skillpoints.py}     ${color1}${texeci 30 /home/yourusername/.conky/eve/eve-skilltraining.py}

I'll say this: Without the packages you downloaded:

1. eve-get.py
2. eve-name.py
3. eve-race.py
4. eve-balance.py
5. eve-skillpoints.py
6. eve-skilltraining.py

Or the HowTo to set it up - - - there is nothing we can do for you.

So I guess your options are:

• show us where you downloaded the files
• ask the Author for support
• or try the Conky command:

  ${eve api_userid api_key character_id}

Have a nice day.

Hello,

I am hoping some of you conky pros can help me with a script I'm working on. The script is used to get your friends from Xbox live and pass it to conky. It works fine in a terminal, but when its passed to conky it will only print 4-5 friends and cuts off the last friend's status.

This is based off the code from this post:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1236199

#!/bin/bash

Filename=~/Friends.aspx
line=`awk '/ Online/' $Filename | wc -l`   #Gets the line count to determin how many friends are on.
linect=$((line-1))      # Line will find 1 entry that does not relate to a friend, so this removes it.
FRIENDS=$((linect*2)) #used to print only friends online.

rm ~/Friends.aspx

wget --load-cookies=cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --ignore-length --no-check-certificate http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/Friends.aspx ;

if [ "$line > 1" ]  ; then     

    awk '/h3|Online/' $Filename | sed -e '{
        s/<h3>//         #Deletes HTML "h3" tags.
        s/<.*>//g        #Deletes all other HTML tags.
        /Online/d        #Deletes the Online line.
        s/^ *//          #Moves txt to the right.
        s/^[^-]./*&/     #Places an "*" in front of the gamertag.
        s/^-//           #Deletes "-" in front of gamer status.
        s/[[:space:]]$// #Removes white spaces (conky writes them as a square box).   
        2d               #Deletes 2 blank lines at the beginnig of the piped txt.
	/^$/d
        }
    ' | head -n$FRIENDS ;
    
else 
    if [ "$line <= 1" ] ; then
        echo '**No Friends are online**' ;
        
    fi

fi

As I'm not at my comp I can't post my .conkyrc, but I think this is is the value that could be causing the problem.

I have tried:

minimum_size 5 5
&
minimum_size 1280

I read that conky will determin the hight of the window by the content of the command. Is this correct?

Thanks

I'm curious, can you "build in" options similar to what Crinos512 did with his "colrize.sh" script

ie:

     -- type of clock - Options 12 or 24
hrs=12 
     -- use seconds hand on clock - Options sh_y or sh_n
sec_hnd=sh_y
     -- advance minute hand with seconds or once every minute; Options mh_s or mh_m 
av-min=mh_s
     -- advance hour hand with minutes/seconds or once every hour; Options hh_ms or hh_h
av-hr=hh_ms

That way people have the option of having "smooth" flowing hands that all advance in connection with the "seconds" or as some clocks, minute hands that "click" into place every minute with hour hands clicking ahead 1/60th of the circle/arc as well OR hands that follow the "rings" where each hand advances in cycles:

second hand - every second
minute hand - every minute
hour hand - every hour

Just a though.

CHIMO!
Bruce

When I get home I'll try and make it smooth which is the only way a clock to me makes sense. I've been meaning to do that for a while but never really came round to it.

You can also do something like this.
------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

SECOND=`date +%S`
files=(/home/user/Pictures/*.*) # create an array of the files.
N=${#files[@]} # Number of members in the array
file=${files[$SECOND]} # choose image in the array corresponding to secs
echo '${image '$file' -p 0,0 -s 400x400}' # Sets picture
exit
------------------------------
That way, you don't have to number your files. This generates an array of all the pictures in a particular directory and displays file #(seconds). If you want
more than 60 seconds, you can do something like `date +%s` for the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00, then take modulo with respect to the
number of files you have, or N.
------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
SECOND=`date +%s`
files=(/home/user/Pictures/*.*)
N=${#files[@]}
file=${files[$SECOND%$N]}
echo '${image '$file' -p 0,0 -s 400x400}' # Sets picture
exit
------------------------------
Another cool thing you can do is to have your images move about ("animated"), by setting your position variable to be dependent on the time.
------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
SECOND=`date +%S`
((R=10#$SECOND*10)) # multiplied by 10 so it's not moving 1 pixel at a time...
# 10# to make sure it's interpreted as a decimal base
echo '${image /home/user/Pictures/test.png -p '$R',100 -s 400x400}'
exit
------------------------------

Good luck!

wow!! thx a lot, so many things to learn&test with scripts... i'll test all of that tonight

I think what you need to pump up is the "text_buffer_size" the default value is 256/per command.

If you have a command that needs to output a LOT of test pump that sucker up. Mine:

text_buffer_size 6144

TEXT

because of one command that gets 7 days of weather.

Have a nice day.
