heres mine

[homerscousin]

I just happened to be checking the conkies here and saw titetanium asking how to get translucency on the background instead of a solid color. I did manage that although I have not figured how to change the background color from the default black. If this is what you are trying to do here is my code and a screenshot. I'm still playing with this. I just want it fairly simple with the info I need and the colors to blend with the wallpaper. I still need to change some of the black text to a lighter color. It's a pain if I change wallpaper. I'll have to make a copy with a different color scheme to associate with each wallpaper I guess.

I have nothing to show off conky wise as I have never used it. But I am very interested to know how you create some of these graphical marvels! I don't suppose anyone fancies or knows of a conky for complete idots tutorial? just the basics will do as I'm not a complete idot with Linux just conky!

Did you get any help? How about this (old but still good): HOW TO: A Beginners Guide to Setting up Conky

This my conky! It monitors mobile broadband network traffic!!!

Nice looking conky, but if I may point out a few things - For alignment there is also a 'middle' option:

alignment

Aligned position on screen, may be top_left, top_right, top_middle, bottom_left, bottom_right, bottom_middle, middle_left, middle_middle, middle_right, or none (also can be abreviated as tl, tr, tm, bl, br, bm, ml, mm, mr). See also gap_x and gap_y.

Code: Select all

tl tm tr
ml mm mr
bl bm br

Also I see some "N/A" in there for your Hard drive temps. Try this to reconfigure hddtemp

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp

There are three responses needed: answer: YES; Enter (0 is good); NO!
Depending on your system you may need to logout

Now: you can use hddtemp the way you have to get everything or if you just want the temperature use the 'number' option (much better than using grep | sed | awk or cut):

Code: Select all

 20 Oct 12 | 09:58:01 ~
         $ hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: WDC WD2500AAJS-00VWA0: 31°C

 20 Oct 12 | 09:58:18 ~
         $ hddtemp /dev/sda -n
31

 20 Oct 12 | 09:58:24 ~
         $ 20 Oct 12 | 10:02:29 ~
         $ hddtemp /dev/sda | cut -c 34-35
31
 

And one more, if you are using nvidia-settings as you are:

Code: Select all

${execi 60 nvidia-settings -t -q GPUCoreTemp} °C

can be changed to:

Code: Select all

${nvidia temp} °C

Now having said that would you mind if I put those changes in and put it up at Conky PitStop?

Thanks for saying that!! Feel free to edit, use and post it!!! :D

I have made some adjustments to my script to better suit Linux Mint!! I submit this to Linux Mint team and suggest that they include it in the coming release. Conky is a headache for many linuxers and it saves them trouble to have it preinstalled and preconfigured. I have added Linux Mint logo to it as well for more originality!! feedback is warmly welcomed bros!! Asssess and rate it!! I'm a Mint fan and its future matters to me!! Following is my .conkyrc for the blue version (You can find my conky-LinuxMint.tar.gz -green version- at http://linuxmint-art.org/content/show.p ... ent=154860):

You missed one adjective: Beautiful!

An "old fashioned" conky and openbox.



@ Sector11 This means a lot to hear from a conky master. Thank you.

Simple and clean.

This is my latest conky, I used a lua script made by Sector11 from Conky Pit-Stop, and added another lua to draw a background a,d boarders to it, as well as make the hands have a thick to thin look to them.
The CPU bars come out from the center, and there are alarm colors for when things start to run really high.
The weather in the clock is conkyForecast from conky-companions, and there is a now playing feature on the bottom of the config on the right, it scrolls "Media Player Not Currently Running" if there is no medai player runng, and the noew playing info if there is, it auto detects which one is running (using Exaile. Rhythmbox, Banshee, Clementine, Guaydeque) and uses conky<Medaplayer> scripts from conky-companions as well.
There is also a transmission display on the bottom of the config on the left, using conkyTransmission, again, by conky-companions, that only shows if Transmission is running.
The calendar is shown with conkyGoogleCalendar by, you guessed it, conky-companions.

Everyone, as a reminder, please, DO NOT post screenshots directly in the forums, use an outside image host, like OmpLoader, or ImageBox, and put the thumbnail code into the forums with a link to the fulsize image. This will help keep the forums looking cleaner, and help users with slower internet connections, as the full size images can take time to load if you have a slow connection.
