@ slipshot - very nice synergy of wallpaper and conky.  excellent work!

Re: My Conky Config

here is the beginnings of a conky (just tinkering to get some inspiration)
see it working:  http://blip.tv/file/3123912
its a bit jumpy with record my desktop running... text skips every so slightly to the left every now and again even though everything should be set to goto 0...fiddling with the minimum width and height seems to get rid of the skipping
the hard part was working out the logistics of what goes where when
adding other information should be relatively easy, although gets harder once you want to expand the vertical "scroll" length

heres how i got it working (now with memory and HDD usage)

EDIT i've been wanting to construct a scrolling conky for a while, but im not satisfied with the conky scroll function
not sure this one will stand the test of time though, might give you a headache looking at it too long smile

Re: My Conky Config

new wallpaper conky
http://omploader.org/tM2N0dQ

if only cpu usage were a little lower then this would be a definite keeper on my computer!

the problem isnt only with conky however... top says tells me that this conky runs around 9-10% which is still a tad high, but ok... the problem is that its making xorg work harder for some reason ... xorg is running at 6-9%.... so cpu is running 16-20% constant

I have a basic idea of what xorg is, but why would this conky cause it trouble?

This shows a red symbol when battery low. More importantly it can instantly tell if the power cable is in or out so the icon changes the moment power is lost or plugged in.

You can of course use the same idea to call useful scripts e.g. shutdown warning on low power AND NO cable. But avoid the warning if you have low power AND cable.

(this is not new but I only just started using it myself in that last day or so - it works very well so I'm re-sharing)

Hi tawan

I don't have a laptop, but I can see that adapted to other uses.  Really nice idea.
I have to play with it.

Have a nice day.

Re: My Conky Config

EDIT: double post

It's a heat thing 09:30, and TV says 27°C  and feels like 30°!

My thermometer says 35°C I dare NOT put it in the sun!

Have a cool day - send ICE

@Bruce - I have nothing Conky related to post, but I'll trade you your Celsius temperatures for my Fahrenheit.  Similar numbers.

I have a saying I've used for years, and it fits perfectly right here:

I would if I could,
but I can't so I won't!

It's pretty bad when one hears his fridge gasping for cool air!

hmmmmmmmm:

${execpi fridge temp control -30°C}${if temp house=>30° open fridge door 15}
${else}Eat Ice Cream!

Have a nice day.

Re: My Conky Config

my very first lua cairo thingy in conky!

red is cpu

i have included angled text labels:

It's hard to find something if you don't know what you're looking for.
I have a blog, it's mostly about conky and lua stuff... go here.

Well, I just looked that that with my copy/paste eyes. roll

You have been C-4'd  cool

That is one very nice, minimalistic conky with class and beauty!

Have a great day.

You earned it, not often one finds "minimalistic" with class and beauty in a conky.

You done did it!  wink

I've been wondering- is there a way to have both feeds columns next to eachother?

if you use ${goto x} to position the second column should work... but you might have to text wrap the columns so that they don't overlap...
i dont know how to do that with an rss feed...
| fold -sw X    at the end (where X is the length of the line before the fold)
works when you exec a function... but then it would shift everything down if it had to wrap

i couldnt access those rss feeds, so i couldnt test it out

It's hard to find something if you don't know what you're looking for.
I have a blog, it's mostly about conky and lua stuff... go here.
