My conkys aren't custom written by me, I haven't that skill. These are default unrelated conky widgets that I edited (usually font and colors) to match my red and black and white theme. These are default Minimalis with customized CPU temp section, Fan Speeds section and Wireless section, as well as the addition of 9 graphs not part of the default minimalis conf.

The large clock is Mizar, customized to font, color, and removing date display.

The 3-month calendar is from user rwyarbrough who posted on github and conky forums. Font and colors changed where they could be.

Black & White wallpaper:



Again I did no custom scripting for any of these and most script edits came from the forum, but I think it's a nice example of putting random widgets together and making them appear to be a matched set in the GUI.

[Logansfury]

I thought I was done with my conky, but I was talking to Koentje and I just happened to mention that I wanted to work on a conky that monitored the status of on and offline devices on my intranet. He then posts THREE of these that he had already made. I selected a favorite, requested edits to fit into my Minimalis and now a widget that I have seen in my imagination and lusted after for weeks is a reality and inserted into my Minimalis display. I did clean up edits, shortening the graphs to match the width of displayed texts, bringing all icons to the outside of the boundary created by text and graphs. I narrowed the graphs by 10 pixels each and added information display to my wireless section. I also made a custom icon in GIMP for the Network Status section that matches the minimalis icons set

Moderator note: Weather icons support discussion can now be found here Getting Conky weather icons from Bleys to work.

Short discussions are fine in a showoff thread, but if it takes more than a few posts to explain, please create a new topic (or report it to moderators so they can split it into a new topic).

[Koentje]

Your wireless block (bottom section) is still off to the right..

[Logansfury]

Your wireless block (bottom section) is still off to the right..

I went thru the minimalis files from top to bottom and established ${goto 35} as the left boarder. Now ALL texts and graphs line up on the left side forming a clean rectangle with the conky icons pasted just to the left of the boarder

Good eye!

How do I get it to show only eth0?

How do I get it to show only eth0?

I don't have HomeIP.sh to test your conky.

ip -o -4 addr list eth0 | awk '{print $4}' | cut -d/ -f1

It's not clear to me what's the problem, or what's wrong with this, or what you try to accomplish?
This command gives me the LAN IP address of my system...
But conky has his own command for that: ${addr eth0}

Because I'm connected to my VPN (that's my public VPN IP) and I set this with HomeIP.sh:

Code: Select all

ip -o -4 addr list eth0 | awk '{print $4}' | cut -d/ -f1

It's showing the VPN home IP and my home IP. How can I get it to just show eth0 (192.168.1.145) ??

Setting:

Code: Select all

${addr eth0}

Shows the VPN Home IP and not my eth0 (192.168.1.145) .....

[Koentje]

Can you show the output of that command? I don't have a VPN, so i have no clue what it shows?
Maybe this works?? ip -o -4 addr list eth0 | awk '{print $4}' | cut -d/ -f1 | grep '192.168.1'

I can turn the VPN off and eth0's address shows. And my home's public IP. I turn the VPN on and my public VPN is shown/VPN home IP!

Just what I wanted.

Thanks! *Think* I got it working:

That's great that you got your code working. Where Koentje appears, problems disappear!

I really like that dark theme GUI, your system looks great

My new wired-connection Minimalis component.

I found the wireless USB nic that came with my refurbished PC was an ancient "N" model that couldn't handle modern speeds. I have a 500MB connection at home and while the wired win10 machine was pulling 593MB dl speed at Ookla speed test, the wireless Dell Linux box was only pulling 12MB. I got rid of the USB nic and cat5 cabled directly into the modem, now at Ookla the Dell Linux box is showing 579MB dl speed. This invalidated most of the display categories in the Wireless section of Minimalis so I put together a wired info widget to replace it:

[Bleys]

Just a test to see if GIFs work in the forum

ok...is not :/

[AndyMH]

Yes, it does, click on the image.

[Bleys]

Yes, it does, click on the image.

cool, Thanks!

[Logansfury]

I just put together a bunch of command lines and bash scripts and created two new widgets for my minimalis: GPU and Display with data about the GPU card and Display Monitors respectively. I found two good images on the net to turn into icons for the new categories. I also just discovered the scrolling marquee text feature and made another "header" widget with two lines of marquee scrolling style text.

All credit for the GPU graph goes to Koentje, he scripted a graph that matched my existing graphs perfectly

All the command lines and bash scripts to populate the display monitor fields came from online resources and help from the users of this forum.



Whatcha think?

What do i think? Your cores are almost always running at least 85%! Is this because of the conky's?

There are several conky listings under the CPU usage category so maybe. I have seen your conky page mp4 on your server and you seem to have conkys the likes of which god himself has never seen, I figured I could get away with what I'm running.

I need to walk my dog but when I return I can start disabling some widgets and see what the core readings say.
