ConkyWizard
Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:19 pm
I have been experimenting with ConkyWizard and can't figure a method of removing the Ubuntu branding. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your reply. I searched and could not find .conkyrc. However I found a folder named .ConkyWizardTheme and inside there are 2 folders and 2 documents. The folders are pix and scripts. The documents are ConkyWizardTheme which is a plain text file and default.ConkyWizard which is a document but when I try and open it I getvincent wrote:Post the contents of your .conkyrc and we'll try to weed it out for you.
When I open ConkyWizardTheme this is what is shows...gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding.
Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.
Select a character encoding from the menu and try again.
Inside of the scripts folder there is 1 script named ip.sh and it contains....# Generated with Conky Wizard

The pix folder contains the png file background.png and it is the background of the conky display with the branding for Ubuntu. I tried to edit it in GIMP but every time I run the Conky Wizard it overwrites the png file with one with Ubuntu branding.#!/bin/bash
wget http://checkip.dyndns.org/ -q -O - |
grep -Eo '\<[[:digit:]]{1,3}(\.[[:digit:]]{1,3}){3}\>'
That is the branding that you looking for. Try find the background.png from pix folder inside .ConkyWizardTheme folder. It is located in your home folder, and it is hidden folder.${image ~/.ConkyWizardTheme/pix/background.png -p 0,0 -s 275x580}
275x580 is the size of your image file.${image ~/folder-where-you-put-it/image-file-you-created.png -p 0,0 -s 275x580}
${image ~/conky/back1.png -p 0,0 -s 275x580}
Why can't I just change the background.png image so that it has it background I want? I tried to do that but every time my changes got over written leaving me with the Ubuntu branding.feed3 wrote:That is the branding that you looking for.

You can change it to whatever you like and prefer. Say you made one new background and you put it in folder named conky in your home and you named it as mintbrand.png, so the above part should be
275x580 is the size of your image file.${image ~/folder-where-you-put-it/image-file-you-created.png -p 0,0 -s 275x580}
for example;
${image ~/conky/back1.png -p 0,0 -s 275x580}
I have found that using that conky wizard that sometimes when I boot then the conky wizard image has a shadow around it and every window shows up behind it. The only thing that has worked to fix it (and it does not always work) is to reboot. When I kill the process it is hard to get it to start again. Any ideas?feed3 wrote:forgot where i get it but here is the conkywizard for mint that i download for my friend who want it. it is mint branded.

Does increasing the delay solved the "always-on-top" conky problem? Just asking because i always use conky with compiz. If it doesn't, that's a new thing to me, would like to try replicate the problem so that i know how to solve it in the future if the same problem happen to me as well.donec wrote:Thanks Feed3, I had read most of that information but I had missed the delay box.
Well changing it to 20 didn't fix it but I found that if I rerun the wizard then it works right but I need to do that each time I boot so it is a work in progress. Oh and yes I do use compiz.feed3 wrote:Does increasing the delay solved the "always-on-top" conky problem? Just asking because i always use conky with compiz.
