Re: conky configs and screenshots!

Not really a full conky configuration, just my calendar!

Colors are already configurable in the script. If someone needs more from it, open an issue and it may get implemented

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

Here is my green version based on the one from American-Jesus. Its for HiDPI so it might look a little big on other displays.
Also its on my center screen so the x_gap needs to be adjusted.

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

Here's my current conky after messing around for quite some time:

I have few bash scripts doing a couple things.  Color-coding output is done in conky as much as possible though to avoid using resources, but in some cases is done through bash.  One script is responsible for making conky "plug-and-play" with any mounted media: as in whenever any filesystem is mounted, conky creates a fsbar and color-codes according to how much free space is left.

Probably my favorite thing about it all is my schedule conky on the right. I  made a simple text file I host on my Dropbox consisting of dates, times, and events I have scheduled for months in advance.  I made a bash script to parse through it and display color-coded output based on both when the event is (how close it is) and what type of event (exam, bills, hw).  This works out nice because I can have the same schedule synced and displayed on all my machines.

Here's some of the scripts:
conky1.conf:

conky.config = {
	background = true,
	out_to_console = false,
    update_interval = 2,
    cpu_avg_samples = 2,

    short_units = true,
    
	double_buffer = true,
	no_buffers = true,
	uppercase = false,

	draw_graph_borders = true,
	draw_outline = false,
	draw_shades = false,

	alignment = 'bottom_left',
	minimum_width = 400,
	maximum_width = 400,
	gap_x = 15,
	gap_y = 15,

	top_name_width = 45,
	top_cpu_separate = false,

	use_xft = true,
	xftalpha = 0.8,
	font = 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:size=9',

	default_color = 'FFFFFF',
	color0 = 'FFFFFF',
	color1 = '3366FF',
	color2 = '00FF00',
	color3 = '7FFF00',
	color4 = 'FFFF00',
	color5 = 'FF7700',
	color6 = 'FF0000',
    default_outline_color = '00FF00',
    default_shade_color = '00FF00',
    draw_borders = false,

    own_window_colour = 'black',
    own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
    own_window_transparent = true,
    own_window_type = 'normal',
    own_window = true

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

I just discovered conky and modified another person's (Max Wachtel) config after figuring things out.
I have a headless HP Media Server and connect to it via VNC.  Running Ubuntu 14.04.

The problem is there are blank boxes (empty characters) at the end of each text line and blank lines.
There is nothing in the .conkyrc files that tells me what it is.  I do not know how to get rid of them.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

1. This isn't a support thread.

2. You aren't running Arch. Please ask on your distro's boards, we only support Arch: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … pport_ONLY

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

Thanks in advance,
Uber Geek Dude

Code-tags would be much appreciated.

I have seen a lot of nice configs! I installed Arch only a couple of days ago and keep finding new interesting stuff (such as Conky).
Will definitely play around with some of the configs I found here!

Thanks guys

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

How can I make conky to run 2 configs at start up? I know the -c option, but I don't know how to use it at start up..

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

I am using a bash script with multiple conky entries
Something like this:

#!/bin/sh
conky -c ~/.conky/conkyrc0 &
conky -c ~/.conky/conkyrc1 &
conky -c ~/.conky/conkyrc2 &

then all you need to do is place this bash script in your .xprofile or .xinitrc

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

i am going crazy displaying an image in conky with blank spaces in its path. something like

${image /path to/image.jpg}

But I get the error message

Conky: Unable to load image '/path'

I tried to use /path\ to/image.jpg and "/path to/image.jpg" and '/path to/image.jpg' but it doesn't work.
any ideas?

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

I hadn't intended to spend most of the morning configuring Conky to my needs, but since I did I thought I should share it!

Based on the sample in the Arch wiki.

.conkyrc:

# Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)
double_buffer yes
maximum_width 320

draw_shades no

# Draw outlines?

# Draw borders around text
draw_borders no

# Stippled borders?
stippled_borders 1

# border width

I like your script but it doesn't show address nor down and up MB when I use mobile connection (with huawei dongle). Any ideas how make it work?

Glad you like!

Sure, just replace any instances of "wlp6s0" with your own network device. You can get a list of your devices with "ip addr show" - it's probably the one in the number 2 slot, just ignore the "lo" loopback device.

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

Is there a way to have Conky display the actual clock of current Intel CPUs when they're in the "Turbo Boost" states? Or is the only way to grep i7z?

is this not showing it per core?

Not quite sure what you mean.  Conky support is build in.

For examle, add the following lines to the your conky.text declaration

Mpd: ${mpd_status}
${mpd_smart}
${mpd_elapsed} / ${mpd_length} - Rnd:${mpd_random} Rpt:${mpd_repeat}
${mpd_bar}

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

Thank you. Unfortunaltely, in conky i see "mpd is not reponding". Yes, i wanted to see in conky what is being played by mpd.

I have this:

#Mpd: 
mpd --status -H <ip of my machine> -P 6600
${color}Status: ${mpd_status} $mpd_bitrate kbps${if_match $mpd_random=="On"} S${endif}${if_match $mpd_repeat=="On"} R${endif} V:${mpd_vol}
${color}${mpd_percent}% ${mpd_bar 6,140} ${mpd_elapsed}/${mpd_length}
$mpd_smart
$mpd_album
${mpd_elapsed} / ${mpd_length} - Rnd:${mpd_random} Rpt:${mpd_repeat}
${mpd_bar}

MPD has a password, don't know how to do this.
