Wow! That is almost as cool as the member who used the cockpit of a jet fighter for the background, and his Conky was superimposed on the guages.
I like it. Almost a Steam Punk flair to it.
EDIT: And the gears and cogs move! OK. Dead even for coolness with the fighter jet.

I like it.
Gimped the clock hands of this version to match the desktop.
I'm an old fashioned kinda guy, just set me down at the kitchen table, a couple of muffins and a glass of milk ...
conky-s11.tar.gz
I did forget one thing. These only run on Desktop #1 (except email one) so you need to add "sticky"
The read me file:Code:own_window_hints undecorated,below,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,sticky
The files and sub-directory structure:
~/conky-s11
~/conky-s11/Read.me.S11.txt
~/conky-s11/S11_Email_0.conky
~/conky-s11/S11_Stats.conky

Setup requires:
1. wget
2. vnstat
3. hddtemp
4. lm-sensors
--------------------------------------------
1. Download and install v9000 as per instructions:
## The latest script is a lua only weather script. aka: v9000
## also the v9000 support thread
## http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/to...ther-in-conky/
##
## the file:
## http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19008369/wea...000.lua.tar.gz
##
## mrpeachys LUA Tutorial
## http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/to...ipts-in-conky/
2. Move :
- ~/conky-s11/v9000.lh.lua
- to
- ~/v9000/v9000.lh.lua
you will need to edit line 11 in that file the rest remains as is, obviously
others are not sector11:
======================
--enter username in quotes like this username = "yourname"
local username = "sector11"
package.path = '/home/'..username..'/.v9000_config.lua'
require '.v9000_config'
======================
OPTIONAL Stuff:
Temperatures: I use the platform method:
http://conky.pitstop.free.fr/wiki/in...nsors_%28en%29
I created a ~/.vnstatrc (included as non-hidden vnstatrc) to get rid of the
Nov '13 - that ' was playing hell with scripts.
Also, being Canadian I changed the date structure to "3 Nov 13" you may wish
to modify those. (lines 16-22)
You will find the original unmodified "zip" from easysid in:
~/conky-s11/MechClock/conky-mechanical-clock-master.zip
All my new conkys use "monofur" font. As spacing is critical to conkys the
choice is yours but it will be a lot of editing to change them

Any questions - just ask!
I don't remember seeing a jet fighter.
I saw a little piper cub type plane though, that was cool. I did the Space Shuttle though.
I tried to get hands like that just couldn't make it work, tried grabbing the colours from the gears ... I made a mess. I like those though!
Are they coffee flavoured as well?
Remember this:
The question came up over at #! by Unia ... I responded.Code:#!/bin/bash ## Original idea by: GrouchyGaijin ## This idea by: Stinkeye - Jan 2013 ## With another tweak by: arclance ## Final tweak by: Sector11 ## click to start, click to stop ##if pgrep -f "conky -c /media/5/Conky/S11_VSIDO_v9.conkyrc" ##then ## pkill -xf "conky -c /media/5/Conky/S11_VSIDO_v9.conkyrc" ##else ## gnome-terminal -e "conky -c /media/5/Conky/S11_VSIDO_v9.conkyrc" ##fi ## not running in a terminal ## remove: gnome-terminal -e ## Tweaked if pgrep -f "conky -c $1" then pkill -xf "conky -c $1" else # wmctrl -s 3 && conky -c "$1" conky -c "$1" fi
So as I promised ... I am here to pass on Unia's comment: That's amazing!
It belongs to GrouchyGaijin, stinkeye and arclance.

@ runrickus
Another oops!
In the conky:
Increase that to:Code:# Default and Minimum size is 256 - needs more for single commands that # "call" a lot of text IE: bash scripts text_buffer_size 1024
The calendar was missing the last row of days ... so under TEXT change:Code:# Default and Minimum size is 256 - needs more for single commands that # "call" a lot of text IE: bash scripts text_buffer_size 1536
to:Code:TEXT ${lua conky_draw_bg 10 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.4} ${color6}${time %b}${color} ${execpi 7200 ncal -h | ~/conky-s11/scripts/ncal.awk} ${color6}${time %Y}${color}
TEXT
to preserve the vertical spacing.Code:${lua conky_draw_bg 10 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.3}\ ${color6}${time %b}${color} ${execpi 7200 ncal -h | /media/5/Conky/scripts/ncal.awk} ${color6}${time %Y}${color}
