A bitcoin and altcoin watching conky!
Its simple looking, but effective. but it uses lots of scripts :/ . I found the "time and date" conky somewhere on deviant art i think, and just modified it a bit.
Time and date .conkyrc
top bar .conkyrc2Code:####################### - Conky settings - # ###################### update_interval 1 total_run_times 0 #imlib_cache_size 0 double_buffer yes no_buffers yes ##################### # - Text settings - # ##################### use_xft yes xftfont Ubuntu:size=100 override_utf8_locale yes text_buffer_size 512 ############################# # - Window specifications - # ############################# own_window yes own_window_type normal own_window_transparent yes own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager draw_shades no own_window_argb_visual yes alignment br gap_x 0 gap_y 0 maximum_width 650 ######################### # - Color Settings - # ######################### default_color E0D1CA TEXT ${voffset -25}${offset 15}${font Sans:pixelsize=100}${time %H:%M}${font}${voffset -85}${offset 38}${color E6C9B6}${font Sans:pixelsize=42}${time %d}${color} ${voffset -8}${font Sans:pixelsize=22}${time %B} ${time %Y}${font}${voffset -36}${font Sans:pixelsize=58}${offset -235}${time %A}${font}
All the scripts referenced basically pull information off the internet and echo, or print if its a python script.Code:############################## - xdaimonConky settings - # ############################# update_interval 2 total_run_times 0 imlib_cache_size 1024 double_buffer yes #no_buffers yes use_xft yes #xftfont Ubuntu:size=100 override_utf8_locale yes text_buffer_size 2048 own_window yes own_window_transparent yes own_window_type panel own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager draw_shades no own_window_argb_visual yes #own_window_argb_value 180 # If you replace the coin image with the coin name a transparent conky is nice alignment top_left gap_y 0 gap_x 0 minimum_size 1920 20 maximum_width 1920 default_color E0D1CA #${image ~/conky/icons/curr.png -p 1505,-14 -s 64x64} TEXT ${voffset 2}${offset 7}${font Sans:pixelsize=15}BTC${offset 1}/${voffset -1}${font Sans:pixelsize=12}usd ${font}${voffset -2}${if_match ${execi 900 ~/conky/btcless.sh}==1}${color 27A52F}${else}${color C31E1E}${endif}${execi 60 ~/conky/btc.sh}${color}${offset 20}LTC${offset 1}/${voffset -1}${font Sans:pixelsize=12}usd ${font}${voffset -2}${if_match ${execi 900 ~/conky/ltcless.sh}==1}${color 27A52F}${else}${color C31E1E}${endif}${execi 60 ~/conky/ltc.sh}${color}${font Sans:pixelsize=12}${offset 75}${execi 900 ~/conky/coindata.sh}${alignr}${offset -150}${exec cat currCoin}${font}${alignr}${voffset -2}${offset -33}${font Sans:pixelsize=15}${if_match ${execi 6 ~/conky/cpu.sh}<25}CPU ${execi 6 ~/conky/cpu.sh}°C${else}${if_match ${execi 6 ~/conky/cpu.sh}<45}${color 4CB8E4}CPU ${execi 6 ~/conky/cpu.sh}°C${color}${else}${color C31E1E}CPU ${execi 6 ~/conky/cpu.sh}°C${color}${endif}${endif}${color}${offset 30}${if_match ${execi 6 ~/conky/gpu.sh}<40}GPU ${execi 6 ~/conky/gpu.sh}°C${else}${if_match ${execi 6 ~/conky/gpu.sh}<65}${color 4CB8E4}GPU ${execi 6 ~/conky/gpu.sh}°C${color}${else}${color C31E1E}GPU ${execi 6 ~/conky/gpu.sh}°C${color}${endif}${endif}${color}
You can browse the code that pulls info from btc and cryptsy at http://www.github.com/xdaimon/xdaimonConky
Also a couple other pics of this same conky with slightly different settings http://xdaimon.imgur.com/all/
If anybody has any suggestions or improvements let me know

Awesome WM.
This might be in the wrong thread. I don't imagine Ubuntu would be proud of AWM.
Still a WIP very much.
Thanks to mrpeachy - my latest wunderground lua weather script:
- Note the ñ as a place holder for outputs that could be longer than they are,
- I also dropped the metric ending for temperatures in favour of a simple ° as I know my conky uses °C
- Oh ... and I removed the snow stuff - only three times since 1919 - I'm not worried!
mrpeachy - very impressive script ... Thank you.
It has been a week since I've sat down at my computer; what was I doing again??? Oh, yeah... Teo's weather script.
You both are welcome and thank you for doing the leg work on that, I will try to test his updates this weekend. I noticed the previous weather script stopped with a segmentation fault sometime throughout the week (could be due to my non-standard installation of Conky, or my edits to the 1b2 weather script, or combination of both), however amazingly my main Conky is still running after a week+ of constant running.
Who's Awesome? You're Awesome.
@ Petro Dawg
Leg work was nothing - getting worried about you though.
Life - it gets in the way of all the fun stuff.
Glad to see you're still with us.
This thread has been super helpful in tweking conky just how I want it. Here’s my setup. I have three .conkyrc files so I can tweak the position of each group. Plus the semi transparet background is only needed on the middle section.
