Is there a suggestion/feature requests page for Conky?

Post by Logansfury »

Hello everyone,

I came up with a neat idea for Conky. I googled for a conky suggestion site but the hits were only discussion boards, nothing about feature requests.

Does anyone know if Zcot accepts feature requests and how to go about posting it?

Thanks for reading!

Logansfury,

The conky developer's github may be what you are looking for. Locate if they have a wiki or forum there and find out how (or if) the developer takes suggestions.

Zcot develops a 'Fork of GUI for managing Conky widgets.'

Hello KMD,

Great suggestion thank you, I'm on my way to the GitHub now :)

EDIT: Ah yes! He has a Discussions forum with an "Ideas - Share ideas for new features" board. Perfect!

just to reiterate, conky-manager does nothing on its own. If you do not have conky installed, the manager is basically a door stop.

conky is the program/package that is accomplishing all the goods.

the two are not related. Well, obviously the manager is related because without conky it would be pointless, but that's the end of that.

Right on. It turns out the feature I wanted to request was already part of the manager. I'm saving different themes of conky configurations now :)
