maybe it's just your constant gold mining.

That's the spectrum equalizer, they calm down a lot when that isn't running.

I finally beat the correct answer out of the bot: ${offset 82}${voffset -4}${font Copperplate Gothic Light:size=12}${exec playerctl metadata xesam:artist | fold -sw17 | head -n 1} ${offset 82}${voffset 0}${font Copperplate Gothic Light:size=12}${exec playerctl metadata xesam:artist | fold -sw17 | se...

offset (pixels) Move text over by N pixels. See also $voffset. voffset (pixels) Change vertical offset by N pixels. Negative values will cause text to overlap.

Theme matching EQ - an edit of Koentje's amazing spectrum equallizer:

It occurred to me that I had searched for hourglass cartoon character but not calendar cartoon character. I hit google and found this guy, another part of the set:

I'm on a roll!! Say hello to hourglass character and the new calendar made to fit into this gui

Hello everyone, I have this line in a NowPlaying conky: ${offset 82}${voffset -4}${font Copperplate Gothic Light:size=12}${exec playerctl metadata xesam:artist | fold -sw17}${offset 82} What I want is for the folded text to be offset to 82 like the line above it. The above script came from ChatGPT a...

I found some cartoon character music notes and assigned one to show on playerctl status = Stopped and another for Playing. Made a Cartoon char themed NowPlaying by borrowing code from the Mimosa conky. Rounded border added for conformity. This monitor real estate is coming along nicely :) https://i....

Hello all, I have cairo-dock running on a virtual machine and have found some beautiful themes for it. but not exactly what I was hoping to find. How difficult would it be to make a custom theme that was just a 1 pixel outline around a 100% transparent dock with rounded corners that is dynamic and e...

Here we go! I took an existing small weather widget with cartoon style icon set and added faces to them in GIMP to match the Minimalis characters. I like this darker blue and am going to set the Minimalis blues to this tone. I got the rounded-corner outline lua's applied to both and Koentje's transp...

I found another cartoon character for the set!! Say hello to the PC character. I have replaced live gauge tracking cpu0 load in MHz with the PC image and the ${nodename} display. I love the addition of the char and everything looks more balanced now without gauges split between top and bottom. Check...

But i see other artifacts... artifacts.png The .lua was an extensive edit of one of the templates you gave me by the ChatGPT, so not surprising that weird things are happening. I am just happy that I am getting accurate reading and a clean display with the individual files. I also just got an outli...

I started with a single .lua containing all the gauges but for whatever reason, this broke the functionality of the outer numerals changing color.

That's it.

Hey Zcot

How are you? Thank you for providing the answer, I appreciate it.

Hello all, I have just turned an old 6GB RAM win Vista machine into a Mint Xfce box. I installed wallset the animated wallpaper app and nothing seemed to go wrong, but since installing, it hasnt displayed either of the two .mp4 videos that work on my main Cinn daily driver: logansfury@CM5570:~$ wall...

Here is a better example of the files you need with the proper names: cpu1 --[[ Bleys 2024 ]] conky.config = { -- — Conky settings alignment = 'middle_right', gap_x = -138, gap_y = -340, xinerama_head = 2, background = false, total_run_times = 0, no_buffers = true, -- — Window specifications with Ba...

The lua is using a basic conky command to get the load percentage and display from 0-100% no edits should be necessary You can place the conf and .lua anywhere as long a they are in the same directory. I have mine bundled in the cartoon minimalis directory I did that, but I have nothing on my deskt...

It looks like you may have changed the name of the .lua file. Did you make sure to edit the name of the .lua file called from the config file to match? I'm not completely sure if naming the file ".lua" is acceptable to conky, you may need to edit that to "gauge.lua" or something...

Thanks. I have 12 gauges. Do I need to adjust each gauges to my computer? Where should I save the config and .lua?
