Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

@PurposeOfReason:

the following code is working for me, thanks so much!

${execpi 60 cal $(date '+%-m %-Y' --date="next month")}

When trying to align it with ${goto XX} though, it only moves the top line ("S M T W TH F S") to that location... the rest of the calendar stays put.

any ideas how to move the whole thing?

${execpi 60 cal $(date '+%-m %-Y' --date="next month")|sed 's/^/${goto xx}/'}

It only puts the very next line at the goto location. I added some code in red that will put the goto at the beginning of every line output by the cal command so it should line up the way you want.

Now, can anyone help me with the following:

• How can I remove / modify the border or shadow that is going around the edge of my conky
• What is causing my weather script to show as N/A. The conkyForecast font is definately installed as it works for other icons on conky.

Also, I was wondering if it was possible to make my conky load a different config when a certain wallpaper is loaded. I currently use Desktop Drapes to change my wallpaper frequently. Is there anything that could let conky know what wallpaper is currently in use, and load a designated config for that wallpaper? I've got basic programming knowledge, so I dont mind having to code a bit.

Thanks guys

Pretty new to conky.

Hi Folks,

Anyone know of a way of merging these two lines into one?

I've been trying for a few days now. No luck.

Line one: get's the days of the week and colours it.
Line two: adds colour to todays day only.

${color2}${font LCDMono:bold:size=17}${execpi 60 cal | sed 's/^/${alignc} /' | sed '1d' | sed '7d' | sed '6d' | sed '5d' | sed '4d' | sed '3d' | sed '2d'}
${color 777777}${execpi 60 DJS=`date +%_d`; cal | sed '2d' | sed '1d'  | sed '/./!d' | sed 's/$/                     /' | fold -w 21 | sed -n '/^.\{21\}/p' | sed 's/^/${alignc} /' | sed /" $DJS "/s/" $DJS "/" "'${color2}'"$DJS"'${color 777777}'" "/}

Thanks and have a nice day.
Bruce

Go visit: Conky Weather Forecast Python Script, follow the instruction on the first post and you'll have weather. It's a support thread too!

Have a nice day.

Um, thanks. Kinda long instructions if you ask me

Add that to the end of your conky config, or wherever you want it to appear on your conky.

However, in gedit (or any text editor), you need to find and replace UKXX1707 with your own regions code. To get your regions code visit http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=NORWICH -- To get the code for your region change the word NORWICH to your town in the url.

The first thing I would do is replace the red code above with

${alignc} Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa

Since that part will never change, running cal and piping it through sed wastes a few CPU cycles.
