Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

[dk75]

Thank you dk75. I tried your suggestion, but still same thing.

Then, it is time to break it to parts and execute them separately.

...

And it turn out to few bugs:

• typo in "?srchkey=" which should be "?searchkey="
• "&" shouldn't be replaced with "&"

Below is fixed version, at least wget part (and I've took liberty to move artist and album processing inside "if" clause so it is done when Rhythmbox is playing only):

$#!/bin/bash
fail=`echo "Unknown"`
artist=`conkyRhythmbox --datatype=AR`
album=`conkyRhythmbox --datatype=AL`
if [ "$artist" = "$fail" ]; then
        echo "Rhythmbox is not playing"
        if [ -f /home/davejr/.album ]; then
                rm /home/davejr/.album
        fi
else
        str="`echo "$artist $album" | sed -e s/\\ /+/g`"
        wget `wget "http://www.albumart.org/index.php?searchkey=$str&itempage=1&newsearch=1&searchindex=Music" -q -O - | 
        grep "http://www.albumart.org/images/zoom-icon.jpg" -m 1 | 
        sed -e 's/" border="0" class="image_border.*//' |
        sed -e 's/.*img src="//'` -q -O /home/davejr/.album
fi

WE GOT A WINNER!! Worked like a charm. dk75, you sir are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you.

and yet again another simple conky

[BoogeyOfTheMan]

Font was found in the repo's

I cant remember what it started off as, but I got it and modified the crap out of it over the past few years. Some things were borrowed from others, some things, like the damn -<<<[NAME]>>>- stuff was done by hand with a lot of trial and error. Originally tried to use the font msmam10 ( I think it was called) and it caused conky to just not load.

Background by londonali1010 (2009)

This script draws a background to the Conky window. It covers the whole of the Conky window, but you can specify rounded corners, if you wish.

To call this script in Conky, use (assuming you have saved this script to ~/scripts/):
    lua_load ~/scripts/draw_bg.lua
    lua_draw_hook_pre draw_bg

Changelog:
+ v1.0 -- Original release (07.10.2009)
]]

-- Change these settings to affect your background.
-- "corner_r" is the radius, in pixels, of the rounded corners. If you don't want rounded corners, use 0.

corner_r=0

-- Set the colour and transparency (alpha) of your background.

bg_colour=0x000000
bg_alpha=0.6

require 'cairo'
function rgb_to_r_g_b(colour,alpha)

Hi,
Is there a way I can run a conky window in only workspace 4?

[miegiel]

Hi,
Is there a way I can run a conky window in only workspace 4?

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit using Unity

Below TEXT:

${if_match "${desktop_name}" == "NameOfDesktop"}
your conky stuff
${endif}

or

${if_match ${desktop} == 4}
your conky stuff
${endif}

Where NameOfDesktop is the name you gave that desktop or 4 is the number of the desktop you want to have your conky on. However, the last time I checked this conflicted with compiz (compiz uses it's own desktop expanding mechanism and all the compiz desktops run in 1 single X desktop).

if you do have the single desktop situation, then you can work out a large enough

 
gap_x

to "push" your conky display to the correct position on desktop 4

for example, your display is 1000 pixels wide,
set

 
alignment top_left
gap_x 3000

should do it
