Few issues with conky.

Nimbus · 2011-06-23 20:29:45

Here's what I want to do, and I'm not sure if it's possible.

I would like my battery bar to change color depending on how much battery is left.

If Battery = 100%-60% Color = Green
If Battery = 60%-40% Color = Yellow
If Battery = 40%-20% Color = Orange
If Battery = Any lower than 20% Color = Red

Here's the line in question.

Battery: ${battery_percent BAT0}% (${battery_time BAT0}) ${alignr}${battery_bar 8,60 BAT0}

I haven't been able to find a way to do this yet, also I have this obnoxious gap down at the bottom of my conky config, under the Weather section. Here's a picture of the problematic config

As you'll see there is a massive gap at the bottom that never seems to get cropped. I can add stuff down there, but it just pushes the gap further, it's kinda annoying. Ignore the second battery meter down there, not quite sure what it is doing there.

Here's my config, I'm hoping someone can help me with it.

..wow, code tags does make it look neater and cleaner. Thanks for the tip.

Please use code tags instead of making threads long !!!

1. See if_match in the conky manual.
2. When conky calculates the space needed (height), it ignores voffsets. Try replacing a few newlines with `${goto 0}${voffset <line height>}`.

When you mean <line height> does that mean the line number in gedit when I'm editing it. I'm kinda confused here.
