Conky Showoff thread

[phredbull]

This is taken from a somewhat existing layout. I'll be changing the large clock font up and I'm going to have email and RSS feeds in the space between the Banshee track and weather. I like integrating conky with the desktop behind it. Gives it kind of a zen feel, eh? I just wanted to upload with my progress. When it's done I'll share code / files / etc.

Very nice; I like non-standard looking, original Conkys. I also like to see Conky integrated with the wallpaper, but it's not easy to find an image that works with Conky and the rest of the desktop.

Here's an old screenshot; note, the arcs above the system and wireless sections are .lua rings...

Thanks you for your continued support of LinuxMint.

[zacklyke]

Cheers, phred that's some awesome use of the desktop. And that's some great work, hydn. I'm working on a very, very green version of that conky based off of one of the Linux Mint 11 standard backgrounds. Once that is done in a few I'll have some time to create the long post with all the code.

Be back in a few, ha.

[phredbull]

@ vrkalak: Sorry, I just automatically used the "attachment" forum tool, as I would on any other forum. Come to think of it, these forums do get really slow sometimes. I'll use a 3rd party pic host from now on...

@ Zach: Thanks! I also posted a minty green desktop & Conky a page back.

I'll keep watching this thread...

[zacklyke]

I'm in Gimp trying to get this right. Then I get distracted by code or SuperTux Kart and well, I'll finish it up soon I promise. Just didn't want to leave it hanging.

[McLovin]

This is my newest 4 part conky, it has a system monitor, weather report, gmail display, and a large clock in the center of the screen.

I have also attached a tar file containing the config files and scripts required to get this running

Has more people this problems on LMDE?

As promised eons ago (it's not done yet as I'd like to use some custom docks and menus, but it's at least something to play around with):

Zack's Unofficial Linux Mint Conky


I use conkyForecast and conkyBanshee.

Current resolution: 1366 (1360) x 768.
If I get lots of requests, I'll do what I can on uploading wallpapers at different resolutions. I'll leave the x/y coordinates of the text and templates up to you (That's half the fun isn't it!)

If you're not familiar with conkyForecast, check out the links above. You'll need to have a decent understanding of it in order to actually implement it.

Since there is a custom font in use and a conkyForecast template file in addition to any rc's, I've packaged it all with a readme.

I'm using mediafire for now. If the link expires, I'll throw it up on my personal website.

This is my latest conky, it has a now playing, using an "if" variable, so it shows which media player I'm running, or if I'm not listening to any music, it just displays what is shown in the screenshot. I also have a conky from server running in a screened shh session, so I don't need to have a terminal open for it to be running, which is really nice.

and here it is with music playing

here is a link to the config files for this, if you would like to check it out and see what you can do with it

For those new to Conky and not knowing how to configure it or those just looking for an easier way to set up Conky, a new version of Conky-Colors has been released. It has a new style to display stats available as an option. See this article at OMG!Ubuntu! or visit the author's Deviant Art page

I've modified my conky somewhat since I last posted in this thread (a long time ago) so here it is now.

The picture is a random slideshow based on my own script (and no smutty comments - that's my fiance), as are the Thunderbird mail count and clementine script (clementine isn't running just now, hence it isn't showing anything).

The clock is a cheat, and is actually a screenlet conveniently position in a space in the conky config left for that purpose

Guess I'm getting due for another tweaking of it soon

[dawgdoc]

Good day, i don't know why Conky doesn't work with Gnome? KDE? How is it possible to do?

First: Did you set up Conky correctly? See this Ubuntu post as a guide. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6365702
Second: If your Conky is flickering, see point 5 in the above post or point 3 from this Conky faq: http://conky.sourceforge.net/faq.html
Third: If you are running Compiz or other desktop effects, see point 6 from the ubuntuforums link or point 4 from the conky.sourceforge link.

Otherwise, you need to provide us with a step by step of what you have done to try to get Conky to work. That would be done better by starting a separate thread with an appropriate title.
