hello Sector11,

I prefer the second one, the first one looks like old HTML pages with frames
You should try to add rounded corners for the second one, IMHO

you're not wrong. It does look like a little like an old HTML frames page doesn't it.

- rounded corners are in class 5, I'm still in class 2

If memory serves me correctly Crinos512 started the "semi-transparent" image in conky shortly after v1.7.1 came out. londonali1010 did it with LUA and were off.... which is best?[...]

Gotta like the options!

I'm using the londonali1010 code. It does exactly what I want/need. Well... sort of.

I was having a problem with the Conky table scrolling off the screen, e.g. an alignment problem.

Initially, I could only get rounded corners on the top, or the bottom, but not on the top & bottom, at the same time.

After hours of farting around with the londonali1010 code, I realized all I had to do is subtract 100 pixels from conky_window.height

--[[
Background by londonali1010 (2009)

This script draws a background to the Conky window. It covers the whole of the Conky window, but you can specify rounded corners, if you wish.

To call this script in Conky, use (assuming you have saved this script to ~/scripts/):
	lua_load ~/scripts/draw_bg.lua
	lua_draw_hook_pre draw_bg

Changelog:
+ v1.0 -- Original release (07.10.2009)
]]

-- Change these settings to affect your background.
-- "corner_r" is the radius, in pixels, of the rounded corners. If you don't want rounded corners, use 0.

corner_r=30

-- Set the colour and transparency (alpha) of your background.

bg_colour=0x2a2a2a
bg_alpha=0.40

require 'cairo'
function rgb_to_r_g_b(colour,alpha)
	return ((colour / 0x10000) % 0x100) / 255., ((colour / 0x100) % 0x100) / 255., (colour % 0x100) / 255., alpha
end

function conky_draw_bg()
	if conky_window==nil then return end
	local w=conky_window.width
	local h=conky_window.height -100
	local cs=cairo_xlib_surface_create(conky_window.display, conky_window.drawable, conky_window.visual, w, h)
	cr=cairo_create(cs)
	
	cairo_move_to(cr,corner_r,0)
	cairo_line_to(cr,w-corner_r,0)
	cairo_curve_to(cr,w,0,w,0,w,corner_r)
	cairo_line_to(cr,w,h-corner_r)
	cairo_curve_to(cr,w,h,w,h,w-corner_r,h)
	cairo_line_to(cr,corner_r,h)
	cairo_curve_to(cr,0,h,0,h,0,h-corner_r)
	cairo_line_to(cr,0,corner_r)
	cairo_curve_to(cr,0,0,0,0,corner_r,0)
	cairo_close_path(cr)
	
	cairo_set_source_rgba(cr,rgb_to_r_g_b(bg_colour,bg_alpha))
	cairo_fill(cr)
end

That's my sole contribution, so far... LoL!

It allowed me to 'raise' the lower frame, on the table, and display rounded corners on both top & bottom.

Agreed!

I prefer the second example, as well.

Greetings All! I know, the new thing is semi-transparent backgrounds using lua. I'm a bit behind there. I tried a semi-transparent png background and didn't like how it looked, so didn't bother.

HOWEVER! I have been playing with LUA rings and converting parts of my Conky over to it. Still same old problem with that total bandwidth usage ring, so there's currently a gap in my display. It's intentional until I can figure out how to not cause such a massive system hiccup when I run that particular script.

Now, thanks to Mr.Peachy's ring script he gave me, I've done some manipulating to get some rings going. MUCH work in progress.

The reason you don't see a ring for "Swap" is because SWAP fills in the center of the ring, and I'm using none right now, nor do I seem to be able to MAKE it use the SWAP right now. So you don't see it. Extra note! If you want a lua ring fill up like a pie chart/pac man type thing, set the thickness of the ring to exactly twice it's radius. Seems to work every time.

And the "Broken" code, which I'm convinced is working properly, but there is something hinky about calling vnstat so often.

Yes. I have multiple lua scripts. I also have multiple .conkyrc files. Still only one script per file.

And of course: The new screen shot (Just the main this time. The rest hasn't changed at all.)

And to VinDSL, I hope you're not offended that I took the vanity string out and just gave you credit in the comments for the calendar.

nice conkys and that's quite a pretty awesome wallpaper too

Thanks. All totally not possible to have done without the help so many people give out here

Hello all, this is my first post here! I'm new to Conky, but already addicted! I hope you enjoy my sports scores conky, I'm still ironing out some kinks and getting it ready for the masses. I'll post the code here if anyone is interested in it.

Definitely share...you'll make a ton of sports fanatics around here happy (including us ice-stick lovers)...

If your conky goes from the top to the bottom of the screen you ought to use the image variable straight after TEXT with a semi-transparent png, very straight forward...

Now if you're gonna start using the Lua stuff for all sorts of other things then it's fair enough to stick with what you have got

You crystallized my thoughts exactly!

All I wanted was a little background shading. But...

As with all things Conky, I couldn't leave it be.

Now that I have it figured out, I can see an advantage to using Lua -- more things to adjust. LoL!

Here's a lighter colored screenie, for demonstration purposes...

(Click image for full-size view)

If memory serves me correctly Crinos512 started the "semi-transparent" image in conky shortly after v1.7.1 came out. londonali1010 did it with LUA and were off.... which is best?

BOTH - or all 4, see below ...

This whole thing got me going, I've been using "frames" for my conky for a while now. So I could see them when there is light background my wife wants, like this:

But the idea of seeing the background throughout the full screen is a BIG draw isn't it. So today I created a new "semi-transparent" frame - the first of a few, at 60% opacity for really light stuff. Lesser percentages coming for scenes that don't need the level of darkness.



So that means:

1. semi-transparent image called up in conky
2. LUA shading
3. the frames
4. a semi-transparent image pasted over the existing wallpaper and saved as "-2" if desired.

Gotta like the options!

Crinos512 and Timo(?) co-developed a semi-transparent font just before conky came out with lua and argb support.

Have any of you Cconkystadors using gnome or another DE with compositing gotten the conky argb visuals to work? Seems like everyone went the lua or image route.

That would be me too. If I can't get this xbox 360 script working then its sports scores goin there
