Conky Showoff thread

[d00med]

Thanks for your help. I do get this error

Code: Select all

File "/home/***/scripts/gmail.py", line 20
    print "0 new"
        ^
IndentationError: expected an indented block

What appears to be happening though, is that the python script doesn't like the & in my password. I'll have to change it, but I'm hoping I can use other non numeric characters.

[edit] Working now. Thanks.

[zerozero]

wait a second, i think there's no need to change your pass.
you copy the script from my last post, right? Formatting was lost
check this link
http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread122149.html
basically what you have to do, and i hope it works is grab the code from the post above and make the changes there.
see if then works

[d00med]

There was a formatting problem in the last code box. I used the one from your previous post and it worked. It shows in the terminal that the script stops at the & symbol, and then feeds just the remaining url after that character to google, so it was sending only "xx@mail.google.com."

I'm not a conky guru. Found some stuff I liked and made it work for me.

@ackerman

you went from "not a conky guru" to a full fledged conkyite.

As is the norm, there is a good deal of modification to my Conkys, although I do like to keep them simple.

My Linux Mint 10 KDE desktop with conky..

[zerozero]

Hi colyn,
conky into KDE!?
I tried several times and never got it right
I know it needs feh, but after that i'm lost.
Can you give me an idea how you did it? I would love to give it another try

I have a simple basic conky in my KDE.

Download/install conky-all from synaptic then create a .conkyrc (notice the dot in front) file which you will save in your /home folder. Check out some of the conky files posted here and in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=282353 at the Ubuntu forums to get ideas on creating your .conkyrc file.

Below is my .conkyrc file..

For all yoy Conky fans out there here is a link to some cool conky files http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/02/6-aw ... works.html
Heres a screen shot of one of them Im using.

[mmesantos1]

Nice screenie timmer1240 and thanks for the link for the conky.

[vrkalak]

Nice Conky.

But, how about adding this to the already existing Conky Show-off thread?

Good idea vrkalak....threads merged

[Sector11]

Because of the number of conkys you see, I'm not adding the code, if you want a piece, let me know and I'll post it.

Daily desktop:
The wallpaper has changed, the lettering is different and I've upgraded the landing gear. Gutterslob may well recognize the background as well - it's his.

The "rotating conky" has been moved to the top of the screen, allowing the SR-71 (Code Name: SectoR-11) to land on the tint2 bar! I also tossed something into the Trash so you could see my trash conky in action


Critical Information panel (for gutterslob - he says he likes it)


Push Button Info (OpenBox Menu entries):

My thanks to arpinux for the tip on how to do this.

Next two come from mrpeachy, who does GREAT stuff, I like to run them every now and then just to see how things are going.

CPU:


MEM:


Other samples of mrpeachy's work are the "Mayan Almanac" (clock / calendar - whatever you want to call it) and the "Sun Moon" conkys seen in the "Critical Information Panel" and "Push Button Info" conkys.

[Habitual]

Sector11?
Man, they let anybody in here.

[SebbyNC]

Here's my Conky (based on the "Conky Elegant" found on gnome-look.org) still improving, that I run on my laptop.
I added a simple calendar, but whatever the script I try, the current day highlighting doesn't work (it works fine when I run "cal" in the terminal). I haven't found anybody with the same problem, so haven't found a way to fix it.

Hi brother, when i am searching how to make my conky one line, i viewed your desktop and your background it's so beatiful..Can you say me the name or the script and send to a PM, this wallpaper: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2794/433 ... c35c_b.jpg

Boy, that was a long time ago . . . I'll have to search and see if I still have that one-line Conky Script somewhwere.

When, I find it I'll send you a PM with the script ... and post it in this thread.

Meanwhile, search through the Conky Show-off thread for a good script.
Or search through Conky-Pitstop or the DeviantART Conky-Artists Group for a suitable script.
Or on another Linux OS Forum ... Crunchbang and Arch/Linux Forums have a great Conky thread.

Conky-Pitstop > http://conky-pitstop.wikidot.com/

Arch/Linux Forum > https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=39906

Most of the Linux OS/distro Forums usually post the Conky Scripts for you to use.
