Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

How about Wallpapoz ?

The idea of changing the background and having the cockpit image with transparent windscreen in place via conky makes more sense though.

manually changing wall:


Looking at it like this it almost shows where the little plane is and a comment; "Damn! Where's the rest of my plane?"

Almost needs a Roundel in there - I'd be inclined to use the Canuck one but that one with the kangaroo looks cute too.





I have since merged cockpit-trans.png and green.png to one: cockpit-trans.png

Hello, I'm trying to set up a conky and have the downloaded one on my screen now. However I can't paste any files into .conkyrc. I've tried the right click copy, right click paste that I'm used to but it will not copy them. Are things different in Ubuntu versis Windows? Thanks for any help. John

[musicmanbiker]

Finally got it, files aren't right. I have read so much about this......

I was working on one for a car with gauges

@ tatxen

That's neat ... I have found a way to change wallpapers with stinkeye's script and "nitrogen" that I use with Openbox ... I'm going to play with that more today

Did you actually use that "original" image to make your cockpit? If yes, that is most impressive!

For now I gave created some 1024x600 wallpapers out of a few of my 1920x1080 wallpapers as tests... I can have you flying over the Cataratas Iguazu, Argentina on a sunny day:

or ... beside the Space Shuttle at Sunrise ... and any point in between:

@ stinkeye

Your little script to change wallpapers according to the time of day, found here, for Ubuntu or Gnome works wonderful here with OpenBox and nitrogen as well. Just needs a small change:

# sunrise
04|05|06|07)
nitrogen --set-auto /path/to//wallpaper.png
;;

@ stinkeye
some tweaks possible:

	--set-auto
		Sets the background to the given file (auto)
	--set-centered
		Sets the background to the given file (centered)
	--set-color=[arg]
		background color in hex, #000000 by default
	--set-scaled
		Sets the background to the given file (scaled)
	--set-tiled
		Sets the background to the given file (tiled)
	--set-zoom
		Sets the background to the given file (zoom)
	--set-zoom-fill
		Sets the background to the given file (zoom-fill)

Don't even need to cron job it, just a small line in a conky that runs on start up conky:

TEXT
${execi 900 ~/bin/stinkeye.sh}\

Thank you!

Glad you found it useful.

Glad you found it useful.

For someone that struggles with bash scripts it's awesome.
