I was wondering if anybody had a config similar to this one and the link to the fonts. I know I have seen it on the forums, but can I can't seem to find it. The link from the below link is broken.

http://lifehacker.com/5068294/beautiful … onky-setup

I think Mr. Green posted this originally. Thanks for the help.

I figured out how to display RSS feeds without a need to run scripts and put their output into conky:

# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window 1
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent 1
own_window_hints undecorate,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager 

#avoid flicker
double_buffer yes

#borders
draw_borders no
border_margin 1

#shades
draw_shades no

#behaviour
update_interval 1

#colour
#default_color #ffffff

#font
use_xft yes
xftfont Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:size=10

#to prevent window from moving
use_spacer none
minimum_size 500 0

#position
gap_x 1
gap_y 16 
alignment top_left

I've finally perfected mine. Unfortunately, I've accrued so many scripts and conkyrc's in the process that I can't remember where I got them all. Most came from this thread though.

utore: how did you get your bookmark bar in firefox to mix with your menu bar?

Thank you, and Xs1t0ry for asking, so much! Now with the "Hide Menubar" addon I have a very nice firefox setup

CheesyBeef · 2009-02-25 01:44:33

I have this script, mpd.awk, for my .conkyrc and it uses text symbols to display whether mpd is playing, paused, or stopped

the text symbols look like: ▶ ❚❚ and ■ . They show up fine in gedit, but they only appear as brackets ] and ]] in conky. Is there a certain font I have to download, or a certain font I should put into my .conkyrc?

here is my mpd.awk

#!/bin/awk -f

BEGIN {
    MPD_CMD = "mpc"; # mpd

    MPD_CMD | getline;
    MPD_CMD | getline;
        mpd_state = $1;
    close(MPD_CMD);
    
    if ( mpd_state == "[playing]" )
        print "▶";
    else
        {
        if ( mpd_state == "[paused]" )
            print "❚❚  ";
        else
            {
                print "■";
            }

        }
    }

Edit: nevermind, I just figured it out by searching google: you must use DejaVu font, so add ${font DejaVu Sans Mono:size=8} in front of the $mpd.awk part of your .conkyrc.. like this:

${color }${font DejaVu Sans Mono:size=8}${execi 1 ~/Scripts/mpd.awk}

Any idea how to reduce the size of the ❚❚? It's kind of big.

@CheesyBeef
Yeah, I used DejaVu Sans as well when i created the script but basically you just need a font that supports a wider range of unicode chars.
A great resource for various unicode chars is this site: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/sitemap.html (Unicode Ranges)
I got the symbols in the script from there and you'll probably find smaller ones to replace the ❚ as well.

You can use special fonts with this script as well btw. This one for example: http://www.dafont.com/buttons-switches.font
Then you just need to replace "▶" with "A" and so on (depending on the font).

Ah. Thanks. I saw another thread where that was achieved with compiz, but I was hoping he did it within conky itself.

Guys,

I've just installed conky, and put the above in my conkyrc. I get the following errors:

Conky: desktop window (8001d1) is subwindow of root window (9d)
Conky: window type - desktop
Conky: drawing to created window (0x1400001)

>>>> Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".

Conky: drawing to double buffer

>>>> Conky: MPD error: problems getting a response from "localhost" on port 6600 : Connection refused

>>>> Can't open perl script "/home/chris/bin/conky-updates.pl": No such file or directory

Can anyone help?

The first error I don't understand.

The second (MPD) isn't really an error, as I haven't installed MPD, yet.

Third, anyone know where I can find the updates script that is being called?

Many thanks,

Chris.

>>>> Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
this error doesn't mean anything, it's a warning that can be ignored (it's been discussed on a few threads throughout this forum)

>>>> Conky: MPD error: problems getting a response from "localhost" on port 6600 : Connection refused
you've answered it; mpd needs to be installed/running on that port

>>>> Can't open perl script "/home/chris/bin/conky-updates.pl": No such file or directory
i'd ask chris . there are many update/weather/mail scripts that are in this thread to support conky, i haven't seen that specific one yet. i'd ask whomever you got the .conkyrc from.

Howitzer · 2009-03-01 21:16:16

Is it somehow possible to make sure that, when using a small bar on the top of the screen, maximized window does not cover conky?
I've tried doings this with the 'margins' feature in Openbox but that draws conky at that margin as well...

I'm not using transset, no. I tried nearly every conky workaround that I could think of, but to no avail. I ended up using a transparent overlay on top of my current wallpaper which involves a bit of editing in GIMP. I have the xcf if anyone wants to give it a try. It's optimized for my 1680x1050 display, however.

margins in OB is the way to go, if your conkyrc says window_type desktop then those margins shouldn't affect it. that's how i've always done it.

I didn't think of that, but it does make sense. For now though, I decided to abandon the semi-transparent background and just deal with the full transparency. It works well enough.

Thanks for the reply.

Full desktop shot. Took me quite some time (and {goto x} variables) to get the positioning of all the stuff right (and not moving when the output changes). Maybe the best solution, but one that worked.
