Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[the_necrocide]

This is borrowed heavily from the_necrocide's config, but with a couple of my own changes.

Glad you liked it! Mine has again changed a little bit, might post a pic lateron...

camtech,

I love the background. Its simple but very sleek at the same time. Could you post a link to a location so i can get it?
Thanks

Sure, It's from devaintart and it comes in several different colors.
You can get it here.

I had that, try:

${i2c 9191-0290 temp 1}

for mobo, and:

${i2c 9191-0290 temp 2}

for CPU.

You are awesome! Thank you so much!

Wow! Conky is great!
I've spent hours looking through and testing the features.. and there's always another thing to be tweaked

anyway, here's mine.
I took phaedOne's configuration and hacked it up a little, but I kept the cool style and added some more good looks (imho)
I set the font to Trebuchet MS, so if you don't have that installed, and you're gonna DL this, I suggest changing that.

I tried to make it on the principal K.I.S.S., so it should be easy to understand/frankenstein
I really doubt anyone cares though

Can someone, as detailed as possible, say how to get conky to show my XMMS status? I've tried various things all of which did nothing.

[DerangedDingo]

you need the package "xmms-infopipe" installed, + this code

Xmms: ${execi 25 cat /tmp/xmms-info | grep Status: | cut -d ":" -f2}
Artist: ${execi 25 xmmsctrl title | cut -d "-" -f1}
Song : ${execi 25 xmmsctrl title | cut -d "-" -f2}
Time : ${execi 25 xmmsctrl print %m%n} ( ${execi 25 xmmsctrl print %M%n})
Number  : ${execi 25 xmmsctrl getpos} / ${execi 25 cat /tmp/xmms-info | grep Tunes | cut -d ":" -f2}

${execi 8 xmmsbar}

Beware of errors in this ^^^ though... be prepared to tweak. try starting conky in the terminal to see if it gives syntax errors of some kind with the code
i don't think there are any, but just incase..
Also, it could need a few more MB of RAM to be sacrificed, $exec commands are the costliest variables conky has, other than huge graphs

and this script

#!/bin/bash

#This script is free to modify and distribute.
#Use at your own risk.

#Requirement: xmms-infopipe

#User Settings here
maxcol=35
file=/tmp/xmms-info

#Grab needed information
pos=`cat $file | grep uSecPosition: | cut -d : -f2`
len=`cat $file | grep uSecTime: | cut -d : -f2`

#Count the length in characters of the title
size=`echo $title | wc -c`
#Calculate current position within that length
poscol=$(echo "$pos*$maxcol/$len" | bc)

#Printing
for (( i=0; i<$maxcol; i++ ))
do
  if [ $i -eq $poscol ]; then
    echo -n 'O'
  else
    echo -n '='
  fi
done

[PurposeOfReason]

Where do I put the last script? I tried putting it in /tmp/xmms-info but then the terminal shows.

Conky: /home/shawn/.conkyrc: 72: no such configuration: 'xmms_player'
sh: xmmsctrl: not found
sh: xmmsctrl: not found
sh: xmmsctrl: not found
sh: xmmsctrl: not found
sh: xmmsctrl: not found
sh: xmmsbar: not found

I have xmms-infopipe. Do I have to enable that?

That reminds me of the first plasma displays. I used to have to lug around a "portable" computer (30-40lbs) that had a red plasma display that looked sort of like your conky. You haven't lived until you've made a mad dash from terminal to terminal with that monster slung over your back.
