Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

Oh, this is SO COOL! Even my compiz-fusion icon shows up now!! Thanks for the tip about the icons.

[Bruce M.]

Hi folks,

And after I said

Well this is it. I think I'm finished until some new revolutionary thing comes along.

I was done too, because I thought this would be a simple formatting exercise, and it was ... to a point.

Do we have any weather.xslt gurus out there?

A while ago I saw a cony weather setup that looked more like conky, displaying the lines of information below each other. I grabbed the .xslt file for future reference.

The future is here now. However I'm having some formatting problems.

I notice in the file grabbed from weather.xslt has various "templates", namely: "weather", "loc", "cc" and one called "dayf/day[@d='1']" (for tomorrow)

The Weather on the right in the attached image is what I have now, on the left is how I'd like to format it.

My guess is that the "weather" template covers everything. The Lats & Longs and Sun info are in the "loc" template, the Moon info is in the "cc" template. And when I tried calling the "loc" template a second time it didn't work. Maybe I made a mistake, I don't know.

I could move the Moon info to the top of the "cc" display making it look logical, but the idea here is: <B>Weather</B>. Lats/Longs, Sun Rise/set and Moon Phases are secondary, so I'd like those at the bottom.

I've been trying to find the answer on my own but ... I feel like I have 3 neurons, one's lost and another is out looking for it. This is a great site, but way out of my league: http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/#d0e5460

I've also tried to add color to no avail.

In "OLD" HTML: <font color="#000000">test</font> (they use stylesheets now)
In conky: ${color cyan}Test${color}

Maybe something like: <color: cyan>Test<color> or <font-color: cyan>Test<font-color> (I tried them, they don't work)

So my questions are:

1. Can formatting it the way I want be done?
2. Is there a way to add color to the fonts? I've seen (see above) colour for backgrounds, borders etc, but not the fonts.
3. Any idea what Moon: Icon means? Was 8 yesterday, 9 today (Days into cycle? Days left until Full/New Moon? - just a thought)

Thanks
Bruce

Not going to open a new topic for this, but I didnt find this anywhere else, anyway:

Is it possible to build conky into a panel like pypanel for example? I've seen some really nice screenshots of DWM/AwesomeWM having built-in conky-like info in their panels but I don't have the knowledge of messing around with those WM's.

Thanks.

I would like to add a simple text weather to the right of my screen but dont really know where to start. I have read some posts about making a scripts folder and adding a weather file with some info that I get from weather.com but I havent found a real "starting place" if someone could point the way.
Thank you much. Screenshot below

Y E S !!!!!!!!!!! Haven't tried anything yet, but I see "examples", now that I can work with.
Thank you Cammy! Five Star Rating: +

Time to play some more.

[Bruce M.]

According to: http://www.comptechdoc.org/independe...slexample.html

I tried their sample:

<SPAN STYLE="display: 'block'; font-family: 'arial'; color: '#000080'; font-weight: '400'; font-size: '20'; margin-top: '12pt'">
<xsl:value-of />
</SPAN>

like this:

<SPAN STYLE="display: 'block'; font-family: 'arial'; color: '#008000'; font-weight: '600'; font-size: '22'; margin-top: '12pt'; text-align: 'center'">
<xsl:value-of select="dnam"/>
</SPAN>

with no results.

Does anyone else have a suggestion on how to format weatherconky according to my post #1482

Hi Faud

How about one like this attachment below? Of course you can edit out what you don't want.

We'll do this in 7 easy steps.

To keep you're original conky setup you'll need three more files.

1: conkyweather (save in: ~/.conkyscripts)
2: weather.sh (save in: ~/scripts)
3: weather.xslt (save in: ~/scripts)

Files 2 and 3 must be in the same folder (~/scripts).
You'll have 2 conky scripts as well, the one you have now, which I will have you move & rename, and conkyweather as seen in #1 above. Put both of these files in ~/.conkyscripts

STEP 1: conkyweather ( a conky script file )

Create conkyweather file:

gedit ~/.conkyscripts/conkyweather

Here is my conkyweather file, copy and paste it to the empty file you have created above with gedit, then Save: conkyweather

background yes
own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
double_buffer yes
use_spacer yes
use_xft yes
xftfont Candara:size=8
xftalpha 0.5
update_interval 1.0
draw_shades no
draw_outline no # amplifies text if yes
draw_borders no
uppercase no # set to yes if you want all text to be in uppercase
stippled_borders 3
border_margin 9
border_width 10
default_color white
own_window_colour brown
own_window_transparent yes
#alignment top_left
alignment top_right
#alignment bottom_left
#alignment bottom_right
gap_x 10
gap_y 25
# Subtract file system buffers from used memory?
no_buffers yes

TEXT
${color cyan}WEATHER: ${hr 1}$color
${color white}${execi 60 ~/scripts/weather.sh ARBA0009}$color

STEP 1a - See Step 6: You will need to change ARBA0009 for your ZIP Code if in the US or City Code if outside the US.
ARBA0009 = Buenos Aires Argentina.

NOTE: At this time "move" (or copy) your existing conky file into the same folder as conkyweather and RENAME it to : conkymain You'll see why in STEP 4

STEP 2: weather.sh (save in: ~/scripts)

Here is my conkyweather.sh file:

#!/bin/sh

#
# Grab weather data from weather.com and format it according to the given XSLT
# Script written by boojit
# Modified by Hellf[i]re
# Modified by Vredfreak
# The orignal script and xslt can be downloaded from http://pondol.com/weather.tar.gz

# Usage:
# ${execi 1800 /path/to/weather/weather.sh location}
# Usage Example:
# ${execi 1800 /home/user/weather/weather.sh 038
~[My Deviantart Page]33}

# your Location ID: use http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=[yourcity] to find it 
# U.S. users can just use their zip code; doubt that works for anyone else though (YMMV)
LOCID=ARBA0009

# s=standard units, m=metric units
UNITS=m

# where this script and the XSLT lives#
RUNDIR=~/scripts

# there's probably other stuff besides CURL that will work for this, but i haven't 
# tried any others. 
# you can get curl at http://curl.haxx.se/
CURLCMD=/usr/bin/curl

# get it at http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/
XSLTCMD=/usr/bin/xsltproc

# you probably don't need to modify anything below this point....

# CURL url. Use cc=* for current forecast or dayf=10 to get a multi-day forecast
CURLURL="http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/$LOCID?dayf=10&unit=$UNITS&cc=*"

# The XSLT to use when translating the response from weather.com
# You can modify this xslt to your liking 
XSLT=$RUNDIR/weather.xslt

#filter (if you want to convert stuff to lower-case or upper case or something)
#FILTER="|gawk '{print(tolower(\$0));}'"


#####
eval "$CURLCMD \"$CURLURL\" 2>/dev/null| $XSLTCMD $XSLT - $FILTER"

STEP 2a - See STEP 6: Once again you'll need to edit two lines:

LOCID=ARBA0009 <-- to ZIP or City Code
# s=standard units, m=metric units
UNITS=m <-- to s for 23°F m= 23°C

It is already set for the top-right of your screen.

Once that's set up you need to make it executable:

chmod a+x ~/scripts/weather.sh

STEP 3: weather.xslt (save in: ~/scripts)

This is the coding responsible for the formatting you see in the image below.

<!--

 You can format this file to your liking. Two things you may feel

<xsl:text>
  </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="/weather/swa/a/t"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
	</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

So now you have four files:

~/scripts
conkyweather.sh (executable)
weather.xslt

and
~/.conkyscripts
conkymain
conkyweather

STEP 4: Creating a way to start both conkys:

Start by creating a hidden file startconky

gedit ~/.startconky

Copy and past this code into that file and save it:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 25 
conky -c ~/.conkyscripts/conkymain &
sleep 1 
conky -c ~/.conkyscripts/conkyweather &

The sleep command allows your desktop to setup before conky runs.

STEP 6: Getting more information

Go to this URL (Copy and past it to your browser): (change the city name or use your ZIP Code once online, it's the easiest way)

http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=Buenos Aires

Will give you information like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!--This document is intended only for use by authorized licensees of The Weather Channel. Unauthorized use is prohibited. Copyright 1995-2005, The Weather Channel Interactive, Inc. All Rights Reserved.-->
<search ver="2.0">
  <loc id="ARDF0127" type="1">Aeroparque Buenos Aires, Argentina</loc>
  <loc id="ARBA0009" type="1">Buenos Aires, Argentina</loc>
</search>

As you see I have two choices for Buenos Aires.

Next do this in Terminal:

wget "http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/ARDF0127?cc=*&unit=m"

Changing ARDF0127 for an option you got at the URL above and if necessary:
unit=$s for standard (F)
unit=$m is for metric (C)

You will receive a file something like this in your home folder: ARDF0127%3Fcc=*&unit=m

Open this and see something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!--This document is intended only for use by authorized licensees of The Weather Channel. Unauthorized use is prohibited. Copyright 1995-2005, The Weather Channel Interactive, Inc. All Rights Reserved.-->

</weather>

This file gives you the coding necessary to edit weather.xslt the way you want.

STEP 7: Starting and Stopping both conkys:

STEP 7a: Automatically at bootup

I have Feisty, if you don't the process may be different:

Open: Systems>Preferences>Sessions>New

Name: Conky
Command: /home/your_log_in_name_here/.startconky

NOTE: If you already have conky starting automatically edit it to reflect the above command with the appropriate change.

STEP 7b: Manually:

In Terminal:
Starting both conkys: (See STEP 4)

./.startconky

Stopping both Conkys

killall conky

I think that's it.
If you have any more questions, just ask.
Bruce

PS: This information is brought to you by all the people here that helped me setup my conky. If it wasn't for them I could not have answered this request.

EDIT: 21 Jan 2008: Two errors in weather.sh corrected - My Thanks to aonegodman
EDIT: 22 Jan 2008: Edited "~/.startconky" - Thanks to Salpiche
EDIT: 20 Feb 2008 - Edited wget command
EDIT: 08 Mar 2008 - Edited: Don't need gksudo in home folder.

[TheTank]

Currently I am still playing with the layout and stuff so no pic atm.

I do have some code segments to offer:

Display the gfx card info, version and temps:

${color yellow}GFX:
${color lightgrey} ${execi 10000 nvclock -i | grep 'Card:' | cut -c9-27} ${execi 10000 nvclock -i | grep 'Amount:' | cut -c10-12}MB ${execi 10000 nvclock -i | grep 'Type:' | cut -c9-19}
${color #ddaa00} Drivers: ${color lightgrey}${execi 10000 cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version| grep "NVRM"| cut -c46-51} ${alignr}${color #ddaa00} GPU: ${color lightgrey}${execi 10000  nvclock -T | grep 'GPU temperature:' | cut -c21-22}C ${color #ddaa00} Board: ${color lightgrey}${execi 10000 nvclock -T | grep 'Board temperature:' | cut -c23-24}C

Uses the nvclock's -T option which prints the temperatures and saves the task from piping info we are not looking for anyway.

Displays (on my sys):

nVidia Geforce 6800 128MB 256 bit DDR
Drivers: 169.07 CPU: 40C Board: 31C

One problem I have is that pop3_unseen is not working correctly for me. No matter what I set the interval to, it tries to reconnect every few seconds.
Anyone have any ideas.
