Eureka!!! I found my calendar event displayer!

From what i see in the other post, if you change this:

Code: Select all

${voffset 31}${execpi 60 ./previousmonth.sh}
${voffset -123}${execpi 60 ./currentmonth.sh}
${voffset -105}${execpi 60 ./nextmonth.sh}

to this:

Code: Select all

${voffset 31}${execpi 60 ./currentmonth.sh}

That should do the trick!
It places the current month on the place of the previous month.

That is exactly what I tried. I made a duplicate .conf named single.conf and removed the two lines referring to the previous and next but the current didnt display when I enabled it.

Holy crap!

I just made another copy of the .conf, named it single.conf, eliminated the prev/next calls and made sure to set the voffset to 31. It displayed just the current month perfectly!

I guess I handn't had the voffset edited in the last attempt and left it at its default 120 or 123 setting.

This is nice, but I'm going to go ahead and keep the 3 cals visible to balance out the width of the google events display.

Just edited the conky a little and got a nice centered calendar! So for the people who follow this topic or come across this topic and want to have a single month calendar, here's the scripts.

conky config

Code: Select all

-- needs package cal (provided by ncal) - sudo apt install ncal
conky.config = {
  own_window = true,
  own_window_type = 'desktop',
  own_window_transparent = true,
  own_window_colour = '000000',
  own_window_argb_visual = true,
    own_window_hints = 'skip_taskbar,skip_pager,undecorated,below',
  own_window_class = 'Conky',
  own_window_argb_visual = true,
  background = false,
  update_interval = 5,
  double_buffer = true,
  alignment = 'top_left',
  gap_x = 10,
  gap_y = 10,
    minimum_width = 200,
    minimum_height = 100,
    maximum_width = 200,
  use_xft = true,
  draw_outline = false,
  draw_shades = true,
  font = 'Monaco:size=9',
  default_color = 'e82127',
};
conky.text = [[
${voffset 11}${execp ./currentmonth.sh}
]];

Bash script currentmonth.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
YEAR=`date +%_Y`
TDY=`date +%_d`
MTH=`date +%_B`
cal | sed s/"\([^a-zA-Z]\)$MTH"'\b'/'${color white}${font Neon 80s:bold:size=11} '"    $MTH"'${color}'/ | sed s/"\([^0-9]\)$YEAR"'\b'/'${color white}'" $YEAR"'${color}${font}'/ | sed s/"\([^0-9]\)$TDY"'\b'/'${color white}'" $TDY"'${color}'/ | sed s/^/'${alignc}'/

You can just remove the voffset stuff and correct the main width and height to where it's not 3 times wide, which you can actually just say minimum 0, you don't have to hardcode a value, and plus those values change when you are changing fonts/sizes anyway.

I found that I had to edit down the 800+ width value listed to get better control of positioning the current month as a single display.
