i have to admit i'm at a bit of a loss... i don't have a dual display setup and am honestly not sure how conky handles situations like that...

nmodlin · 2009-07-03 20:11:49

Well how about you make just a gasmask theme along the lines o 1680x1050 (your choice) preferably blackback ground and i can implement the other monitorno problem by adding the extra black space to the wallpaper. If not thanks anyway.

nmodlin · 2009-07-03 20:13:19

afetr looking into some info basically conky looks at the primary screen only

Mr Green · 2009-07-04 16:42:37

Well to the point and hope you get a positive response.... I for one would credit your work [even wear your T-Shirt]

Now stop messing about on Ubuntu Forums get on with creations!!!!! lol

Happy 4/7 x

Back on Topic can I have a sweet Todo list? need a couple

basically one is for home stuff [real life!] and work related I add a '-' to work stuff atm but it looks messy, then I lose interest and it gets left and not Done!

Background well I will sort that out

MrG

Ghost1227 · 2009-07-05 02:58:53

how complex a todo list do you want? and how do you want it handled?

Mr Green · 2009-07-05 06:11:01

Nothing complex at very least a list top left one top right ..... but I know it could be better

maybe a bullet list '.' for how urgent [although my todos are more, get done when they are done!]

I mix work and home stuff in one list and it looks confusing

Going to look at Todo.txt.

http://wiki.github.com/ginatrapani/todo … with-conky

Needs work that looks real messy!!!!!

@Mr. Green - Does this look any cleaner? I used a small script to massage the todo.txt output a bit. Note - my wallpaper rotates every 2 min, so sometimes the list & calendar isn't super readable, but given lack of conky semi-transparency, I don't mind I love the simplicity of todo.txt and the aim bot for using it with my phone. Calender entries are from Google calender.

Sorry - not trying to offtopic the thread!

@firecat53 you are on topic its Desktop related, I am not keen on the numbers in list output colour for priority would be better but not a great issue for me, a couple of lists would be more than enough for ;-)

I was about to ask for that wallpaper.... but the screenshot effectively provides it! - i can block fill the autohidden panel out of it.

Just because it's called Ghost1227's Desktop Workshop doesn't mean that others aren't welcome to post their own tips/scripts if they beat me to something, I've got a lot going on in RL right now and sometimes you'll just be more on the ball than me. Nice job on the script!

Mr Green · 2009-07-06 13:15:22

Could look better

Right got two conkys one for Todo one for Work which means two files to edit and that totally sucks!!!

But its a step in the right direction

MrG

I accomplished this with a single conky. Quite simple too...

${color 000000}${font Corazon:size=25}TODO${font}
${hr}
${color 000000}${exec grepp todo /path/to/todo | sed "1 d"}


${color 000000}${font Corazon:size=25}WORK${font}
${hr}
${color 000000}${exec grepp work /path/to/todo | sed "1 d"}

and the todo list...

[todo]
Windscreen
Car insurance
Other shit

[work]
Ebay items
Check Listings
Ikea stuff

It does require grepp, the grep by paragraph implementation I have posted in AUR.

Ghost1227 · 2009-07-06 14:04:58

No problem... I never considered doing that before, but I'm gonna have to start using it myself now

Not technically a theme, Day And Night is a time-based wallpaper changer that depends on nitrogen.

Day And Night can be downloaded here.

More details please?

Ashren · 2009-07-06 23:29:22

Ok.

Lets take Taco Bell as an example. They list their menues on colorfull boards - jumbled in between taco menues, condiments and soft drinks conky could list system stats. Perhaps even mpd/mocp song listings.

It's a pretty silly idea, but tacos seems to be a reoccuring theme within the Archosphere and it might be fun.

It will be nice to add sunrise and sunset pictures.
