Just Give Me the Beans!
Hi Crinos512,
I have the template and background working I think.
I have the weather working.
I have changed the device permissions in sbin.
I still have the bad substitution errors on all remaining scripts.
I am currently back to #!/bin/sh on these.
Standing by for any advice...
The weather looks nice-display and real life!

Here is my lovely conky configuration, I figured I'd share it.
It's actually 2 conky processes running different .conkyrc files. (This is an easy way to create columns). I created a very basic shell script that starts them both.
You can un-comment the sleep function if you want to use the script at startup. I hear this gives time for the desktop to load, but it was not my idea.Code:#!/bin/sh #sleep 20 conky -d -c /path/to/file/.conkyrc1 conky -d -c /path/to/file/.conkyrc2 exit
To use this just put the code in an empty file. Let's call it... 'conkystart'.
Chmod the file to be excutable.Code:sudo chmod +x /path/to/conkystart
Then move the file to your /usr/bin/ directory.Code:sudo mv /path/to/conkystart /usr/bin/conkystart
Now all you have to do to start conky is run 'conkystart' where you would normally run 'conky' (eg. in the terminal).
Other notes:
-The .conkyrc1 file lists 3 hard disks and only displays them if they are mounted. One of them (KINGSTON) is a USB drive. These settings should be customized to fit your own needs. Note, however, that there is no line break between the disks and the next if_existing arguement. To explain better: "Everything under the TEXT header in your .conkyrc file will get displayed. That means every line break or carriage return, too. If you were to put the $if_existing flag at the beginning of a new line, that new line would still be displayed, but would be a blank line when your device isn’t mounted, because the conditions of the $if_existing variable would not be met. To think of it another way: You’re putting the carriage return inside the $if_existing statement, so that the line break only happens when the conditions of the statement are met." Credit.
-The .conkyrc2 file requires kaivalagi's Google calendar python script and SSL email python scipt. Don't forget to replace YOURUSERNAME and YOURPASSWORD with your real information!
-The .conkyrc2 file checks to see if several programs are running (in the process information pane). You may not have these programs installed, which is fine.

Gee! These Aren't Roasted!
just thought i'd put this up here. eightmillion modified his conkybanshee script so that it can put out more information. you can now use the options -a for artist, -b for album, -t for track, and -n for number. i hope everyone enjoys it as much as i have, and be sure to thank eightmillion for this great script!
(example use)${exec ~/path/to/script/conkybanshee.py -t}

Four long hours to get that conky-background just right because I'm not smart enough to figure out the periodicity. The darker bit behind my conky makes reading white letters on top of a white background possible. And my darker bit is smooooooth now... Not stripy at all. What am I talking about ? Look at my .conkyrc and you'll know. (Yes, you with the big brainThat is a challenge
)
I borrowed from here for the invisible font and I'll post where I got the original script that I tweaked if I come across it again.

Gee! These Aren't Roasted!
is there a setting for conky so it will act as a panel? ie. windows dont cover it up and dont maximize over it?

Pretty sure that "background yes" (no quotes) above TEXT will do you right.
Gee! These Aren't Roasted!
i do have that in my conky, but it doesnt seem to give me the behavior im after, it just acts like a regular conky. would "own_window_class" have anything to do with it?
