use if_running in your .conkyrc as opposed to in your template

Code:

${if_running rhythmbox}${execi rhythmbox template}${else}${voffset -5}${endif}

VinDSL Background Hack (2010)

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)
+ v2.2 -- VinDSL Hack (12.24.2010)
--]]

-- 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 = 0x4d4d4d
bg_alpha = 0.40

-- Tweaks the height of your background, in pixels. If you don't need to adjust the height, use 0.

vindsl_hack = -150

require 'cairo'
cs, cr = nil
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()

    local h=conky_window.height
    local v=vindsl_hack
    local cs=cairo_xlib_surface_create(conky_window.display, conky_window.drawable, conky_window.visual, conky_window.width, conky_window.height)

    cairo_set_source_rgba(cr,rgb_to_r_g_b(bg_colour,bg_alpha))
    cairo_fill(cr)
end

The semi-transparency doesn't come through either. Help?

The error *appears* to indicate a syntax problem in the conky_draw_bg function. That's where I would focus my attention.

I can't reproduce the error, on this end, but since it involves a nil value, and (cr) is being set to nil in a previous line, I would try...

Code:

<snip>

function conky_draw_bg()
	if conky_window==nil then return end
	if cr==nil then cairo_destroy(cr) end
	local w=conky_window.width
	local h=conky_window.height
	local v=vindsl_hack
	local cs=cairo_xlib_surface_create(conky_window.display, conky_window.drawable, conky_window.visual, conky_window.width, conky_window.height)
	local 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+v-corner_r)
	cairo_curve_to(cr,w,h+v,w,h+v,w-corner_r,h+v)
	cairo_line_to(cr,corner_r,h+v)
	cairo_curve_to(cr,0,h+v,0,h+v,0,h+v-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

<snip>

Just thinking out loud. Let me know if it works... or not.

**frustratednerd** · December 25th, 2010

Hey all. Just wondering if someone can help me out here. Attached is a screenshot of my desktop.

I want to make a few modifications to the 'Weather' section of my Conky, but I'm not sure how. I've attempted to edit my conkyForecast template, but with my little to no experience in editing templates, I was unsuccessful in making the changes I wanted.

I wanted to have a text of the weather condition underneath the picture of it. I also wanted to have the time of the last update at Weather.com and the time of the last fetch of data from Weather.com centered below the 4-day forecast. If anyone can help me with this, I'll be really grateful.

Here is my conkyForecast template:

Code:

${voffset -10}${alignr 56}${color2}${font ConkyWeather:style=Bold:size=40}[--datatype=WF]${font}${color}
${voffset -50}${color2}${font Weather:size=40}y${font}${color2}  ${voffset -38}${color2}${font Arial Black:size=26}[--datatype=HT]${font}${color}
${voffset 2}
${font Droid Sans:style=Bold:size=8}${voffset 0}${goto 13}[--datatype=DW --startday=1 --shortweekday] ${goto 59}[--datatype=DW --startday=2 --shortweekday] ${goto 105}[--datatype=DW --startday=3 --shortweekday] ${goto 150}[--datatype=DW --startday=4 --shortweekday]${font}
${voffset 0}${color2}${font ConkyWeather:size=28}[--datatype=WF --startday=1 --endday=4 --spaces=1]${font}${color}
${font Droid Sans:style=Bold:size=8}${voffset 0}${goto 8}[--datatype=HT --startday=1 --hideunits --centeredwidth=3]/[--datatype=LT --startday=1 --hideunits --centeredwidth=3] ${goto 53}[--datatype=HT --startday=2 --hideunits --centeredwidth=3]/[--datatype=LT --startday=2 --hideunits --centeredwidth=3] ${goto 98}[--datatype=HT --startday=3 --hideunits --centeredwidth=3]/[--datatype=LT --startday=3 --hideunits --centeredwidth=3] ${goto 145}[--datatype=HT --startday=4 --hideunits --centeredwidth=3]/[--datatype=LT --startday=4 --hideunits --centeredwidth=3]${font}
${voffset -10}

And here's my .conkyrc:

Hey all. Just wondering if someone can help me out here. Attached is a screenshot of my desktop.

I want to make a few modifications to the 'Weather' section of my Conky, but I'm not sure how. I've attempted to edit my conkyForecast template, but with my little to no experience in editing templates, I was unsuccessful in making the changes I wanted.

I wanted to have a text of the weather condition underneath the picture of it. I also wanted to have the time of the last update at Weather.com and the time of the last fetch of data from Weather.com centered below the 4-day forecast. If anyone can help me with this, I'll be really grateful.

Here is my conkyForecast template:

Code:

${voffset -10}${alignr 56}${color2}${font ConkyWeather:style=Bold:size=40}[--datatype=WF]${font}${color}
${voffset -50}${color2}${font Weather:size=40}y${font}${color2}  ${voffset -38}${color2}${font Arial Black:size=26}[--datatype=HT]${font}${color}
${voffset 2}
${font Droid Sans:style=Bold:size=8}${voffset 0}${goto 13}[--datatype=DW --startday=1 --shortweekday] ${goto 59}[--datatype=DW --startday=2 --shortweekday] ${goto 105}[--datatype=DW --startday=3 --shortweekday] ${goto 150}[--datatype=DW --startday=4 --shortweekday]${font}
${voffset 0}${color2}${font ConkyWeather:size=28}[--datatype=WF --startday=1 --endday=4 --spaces=1]${font}${color}
${font Droid Sans:style=Bold:size=8}${voffset 0}${goto 8}[--datatype=HT --startday=1 --hideunits --centeredwidth=3]/[--datatype=LT --startday=1 --hideunits --centeredwidth=3] ${goto 53}[--datatype=HT --startday=2 --hideunits --centeredwidth=3]/[--datatype=LT --startday=2 --hideunits --centeredwidth=3] ${goto 98}[--datatype=HT --startday=3 --hideunits --centeredwidth=3]/[--datatype=LT --startday=3 --hideunits --centeredwidth=3] ${goto 145}[--datatype=HT --startday=4 --hideunits --centeredwidth=3]/[--datatype=LT --startday=4 --hideunits --centeredwidth=3]${font}
${voffset -10}

And here's my .conkyrc:

If it helps... I'm using conky-colors, and I also have a 2nd conkyForecast installed (other than the one that came with conky-colors).

You want to add current conditions in the line under your weather font section. "[--datatype=CC]" for each of the same days.

EDIT: Just tried both on the online feed, no dice. Which is odd, they have Argentinean(?) stations listed but no schedule.

I found a few other sites that I thought would do a better job of getting the schedule. Yahoo TV and TitanTV. Can you try one of them?

We get a TV guide once a month with the cable bill - and it's never right, they change things frequently. OH, and it only has "movies" nothing else. We learn to live with it.

Yahoo TV -

Hmmm, we're having trouble finding that page.

It's probably because the page has moved or is no longer available. If you typed in the address, you may want to double-check your spelling. If you think you've found a broken link, please let us know.

That's almost a direct quote from the TV Guide we get monthly too! (joking).

TitanTV needs a "ZIP Code" only one country I know uses those, and it's not here!

Great info, Vin! *thumbs up*

+1 Vin ... so that's two thumbs up!

Have you though of a Start/Stop/Restart/Stop_Again Conky script? Really handy little sucker that is!
