A few days ago i discovered conky and yesterday conky-colors, which is alot easier to handle. I have a problem with photord (photorandom). It isnt random at all. What it does do is zooming in. So instead of picking the next photo in the folder, it zooms in the current active photo. How can i fix this? The normal version (photo) is working fine. The code:
I edited the path in ./conkycolors/bin/conkyPhotoRandom and placed a few photos in a directory i made called ConkyPhotos:#############
# - PHOTO - #
#############
# For a working photo widget you need to specify a file or directory in conkyPhoto or conkyPhotoRandom script in ~/.conkycolors/bin/ folder
${voffset 4}${font Droid Sans:style=Bold:size=8}PHOTO $stippled_hr${font}
${execi 240 ~/.conkycolors/bin/conkyPhotoRandom}${image /tmp/conkyPhoto.png -s 175x120 -p 4,270}${voffset 114}
Why is it zooming in instead of going to the next one? Btw i tried googling the problem, but with no result. I did came across this page on Gnome-look.org. The creator of conky-colors said that he also experienced problems with photord (dont know if its about zooming in) and suggested to check if Imagemagick and bc are installed. I checked and those programs were already installed on Mint 9. So thats not the problem here.#!/bin/bash
