Re: Ghost1227's Desktop Workshop
Ghost1227: What about a quick conky that tells the time and date? I need another one for that and can't figure it out to save my life. Also, is there a way to make it go on one monitor only or what? It keeps switching randomly whenever I restart OpenBox.
Oh and my main screen is 1680x1050, second is 1280x1024.
EDIT: Is there a way to get both these urxvt's on the left side only? I've tried editing the rc.xml, but they just pop over each other 
I want them side by side.

Yea, here it is. You get what I'm trying to say though? Sometimes people don't understand what I'm trying to say

Re: Ghost1227's Desktop Workshop
Tried giving each urxvt a different name and calling that name from rc.xml. Maybe I'm giving the name wrong.

You mean something like that? That's the last half hour or so. Configs/theme files located here.
.
Can you share the wallpaper? I mean the unmodified version (no spaces for conky).
Really nice themes by the way.

Re: Ghost1227's Desktop Workshop
Another request, this one based on The Graffiti Desktop.

Configs are available here.
That is a cool idea. There is a lot of creativity in this thread.

Re: Ghost1227's Desktop Workshop
@methuselah: That's the goal! Got anything that I can be creative with?
Yes, I am hoping that you can help me create a conky surfing report script. I have found a thread in the ubuntu forums that uses the curl command to download info from a rss weather feed. What I want to do is something similar to give me the current surf conditions, tidal conditions, water temp, regional forecast and surf report.
This is the Ubuntu Forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … ather+Font
I think I almost found the way to do it, but I don't know anything about sed so I would need help for cutting out the data that I need to be displayed with conky.
This is the address that I found that has the updated data for a surf spot (this could be changed to any location that Surfline.com has a surf report for):
curl "http://www.surfline.com/reports/report.cfm?slintcid=WIDREP1&slcmpname=WID-REP1-Widget&id=4203&refuserid=0">/home/"YOUR_NAME"/"SURF-REPORT-FOLDER"conditions.txt
When I use this command to download this data, I only need a few parts from the data. Just search for these parts in the conditions.txt:
CURRENT WEATHER: (just the water temps)
TIDES: (all 4 days of tidal info..... for example, this data from today: TIDECONTENT 07/21 03:56 am -1.48 ft low 07/21 10:18 am 4.13 ft high 07/21 03:11 pm 1.86 ft low 07/21 09:19 pm 6.96 ft high)
SURF: (everything said)
NORTH LOS ANGELES'S REGIONAL OVERVIEW: (the whole paragraph)
FORECAST SUMMARY: (the whole paragraph)
You can see what the parts are from this web page: http://www.surfline.com/reports/report. … efuserid=0
What I would like to do is to combine this and my current weather script in conky. I'm hoping this is possible using 'curl' and 'sed' (if not in this way, maybe some other way using their xml feeds or yahoo rss feeds..... maybe even in their widget info?)

Re: Ghost1227's Desktop Workshop
#WATER TEMP:
wget -q -O - "http://www.surfline.com/reports/rm?slintcid=WIDREP1&slcmpname=WID-REP1-Widget&id=4203&refuserid=0" | grep "WATER TEMP" | awk -F">" '{ print $2 }' | sed -e 's|<br||' | sed -e 's|°||g'`
#TIDES:
wget -q -O - "http://www.surfline.com/reports/rm?slintcid=WIDREP1&slcmpname=WID-REP1-Widget&id=4203&refuserid=0" | grep "TIDECONTENT" | awk -F"<" '{ print $4 }' | awk -F"T" '{ print $4 }' | sed -e 's|-->||'`Still working on the others... paragraphs are a bit trickier. If I can figure out how to pass location to the XML scripts it'd be easier.
