How is this color being accomplished in this gauge please?

[Logansfury]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to make a stand-alone gauge conky replicating the multicolored gauge in this conky:

This conky's gauge has what is called a "warning" setting where a different color can be set for the extreme end of the gauge:

Code: Select all

  color6 = 'yellow1',       -- warning (hi cpu temp)
  color7 = 'green3',        -- stock ticker "up"
  color8 = 'red3',          -- stock ticker "down"

The templates that I have for building gauges are in this format:

Code: Select all

{
    name='cpu 0',               arg='',
    max_value=95,                 max_rpm=100,
    x=50,                          y=50,
    graph_radius=35,
    graph_thickness=8,
    graph_start_angle=225,
    graph_unit_angle=2.84,         graph_unit_thickness=2.7,
    graph_bg_colour=0xFFEEEE,      graph_bg_alpha=0.1,
    graph_fg_colour=0x00FF00,      graph_fg_alpha=1.0,
    hand_fg_colour=0xEF5A29,       hand_fg_alpha=1.0,
    txt_radius=0,
    txt_weight=1,                  txt_size=23.0,
    txt_fg_colour=0x00d0FF,        txt_fg_alpha=1.0,
    graduation_radius=14,
    graduation_thickness=28,       graduation_mark_thickness=0,
    graduation_unit_angle=72,
    graduation_fg_colour=0xAAAAAA, graduation_fg_alpha=0.2,
    caption='CPU 0',
    caption_weight=1,              caption_size=14,
    caption_fg_colour=0xFFA300,    caption_fg_alpha=100,
},

I see here where I can set the entire background of the gauge green, but how do I get the last 1/4 of it yellow as in the danuesx Conky? Also, in my configuration of .lua, how do I make the red needle?

Thank you for reading,

Logan

These 2 things you ask, are not programmed into the lua code of my lua... i asume you're using mine.

I am indeed using your files, they are the only good templates I have at present for custom gauge creation.

Does anything in your files preclude adding code for dual color rings and needles?
