Damn VinDSL, that's one of the hottest backgrounds ever! Wow!!!

3 years we have been trying to move away from ORANGE....

Yes, sah-weet indeeed!

Stupid question perhaps, but how do I upgrade from version 1.80 to 1.81?
Will "sudo apt-get install conky" do the trick or does that overwrite my present conky?

Thanks very much. Done that, got the new version.

Orange is the hardest color to get right -- almost impossible, actually!

That's why I like working with it...

yesterday i added a weatherscript for the weather images

${image [--datatype=MI] -p 95,845 -s 55x55}#Moon

${image [--datatype=WI --startday=2] -p 120,630 -s 60x60}
${image [--datatype=WI --startday=3] -p 205,630 -s 60x60}

Where is the problem?

[dk75]

I, on the other hand, am more of a minimalist in that regard, I guess.


Do you use KDevelop then?

No disrespect intended, but IDE suites can vary just as much as text editors. Anyway... use whatever works for you, there are many paths to Conky success!

Hm... isn't the VIM same at all the systems?

[foobar66]

I tend to like simplicity. I use 2 conky's: one to display a digital clock in big font on the desktop. Another one to display kernel version, ram and cpu usage. Somehow I could not get the same effect by using a single config file, so I am running 2 conky instances.

alignment bottom_right
background no
border_width 1
cpu_avg_samples 2
default_color white
default_outline_color white
default_shade_color white
draw_borders no
draw_graph_borders yes
draw_outline no
draw_shades no
use_xft yes
xftfont Ubuntu:size=64
gap_x 4
gap_y 60
#minimum_size 5 5
#minimum_width 300
net_avg_samples 2
no_buffers yes
out_to_console no
out_to_stderr no
extra_newline no
own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
#own_window_background yes
stippled_borders 0
update_interval 1.0
uppercase no
use_spacer none
show_graph_scale no
show_graph_range no
double_buffer yes
TEXT
${time %H:%M}

The oher one is the same file, except for the bottom part:

TEXT
${color grey}$kernel, RAM: $memperc%, CPU1: ${cpu cpu1}%, CPU2: ${cpu cpu2}%

Very simple, but I like the effect it gives:

One of the major complaints regarding Ubuntu is the Orange/Brown colors.... It is the first thing I change.

What did you have in mind how conky would look on your screen?
BTW: do you speak Dutch?
