Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[EgoGratis]

mrpeachy thank you for explanation. I used first method , but in the future i will try other two methods to lover system resources consumption.

Shouldn’t such detailed answers have link in the start of the thread?

Tomorrow there will be ten more pages of posts in this topic and ten new .conkyrc users wanting info on how to show temperature monitoring! Thanks again!

your welcome EgoGratis
yes, that is a problem with this thread, that things get easily lost
but i can post a link back to that post when i see anyone else who needs the info
I wanted to get everything together in the same post

Nice to see you posting again 42dorian. I dont know what happened but the community suffers when people just disappear. I saw a Sector11 post a couple pages back too, but it got deleted. If there is not enough time in the day that is understandable but the community is not moving forward without our top dogs around.

Don't get your hopes up kiddo. I'm getting other projects of my own going. Conky is not one of my priorities right now, and it won't be for the foreseeable future. The Data Dump is essentially the last one, and there for anyone to do whatever robbing of code they choose to do. Same with the hex colour cheat sheet. I'm monitoring the two Howto threads in my signature, but beyond that I'm little more than a ghost.

I am happy to focus on the two projects in my signature, but Conky in general is off my radar. I'm still looking for volunteers to help me test out the multi-desktop configuration and report back results of the code. I abandoned that project too soon before, and it's not nearly complete enough. I didn't even get around to the LUA component of it.

Hi all,
I just added kaivalagi's Rhythmbox Conky script, but am not seeing any album art. I'm using Mint (Debian) XFCE, and conkyRhythmbox is using a template.
I've tried putting this line,

${image [--datatype=CA] -n -p 8,8 -s 80x80}

in the template and in the main script, but both are no-go. I've also heard it suggested that this shouldn't be the last line in the script, so I've tried putting it towards the beginning of the script, but still nothing.
Here is my conkyrc.Rhythmbox:

conky configuration

and here is the template:

${color1}status: ${color2}[--datatype=ST]${alignr}${color1}volume: ${color2}[--datatype=VO]
${image [--datatype=CA] -n -p 8,8 -s 80x80}

Anyone see any errors?

Also, 1 other question; I'm currently running 6 conkys. Is this much more resource hungry than if I combined them all into 1 conky that covered the whole screen? (I like each section having its own .lua background.)

Change:
own_window_type desktop

to:
own_window_type normal

or try override, dock or panel.

What version of conkyRhythmbox are you running? Just type

conkyRhythmbox --version

at the command line.

There have been edits done that I'm not sure if its been updated yet.
