Re: conky configs and screenshots!

After using Arch for quite some time then going to <cough> for about 1.5 years, I'm back on Arch since last Saturday and have been basically tweaking it almost non-stop to look pretty, but subtle. Before I usually just outright took people's conky's that I really enjoyed. But this time I decided not to be lazy and built my own (even though there are ass load of settings, the conky website if quite useful once you figure out the minimal syntax). While this is nothing special and has no Lua (the code I've scares me not only in it's seeming exactitude (I'd never sleep/can't imagine Atromch's pain) but also its length), it does however nicely tie in with the look of everything I've done so far. Everything's kinda low key, color wise, cause I'm usually always in near dark or total dark and anything blindingly blue, cyan, white, or green hurts after a while.

Plus, I totally whipped together a nice Python script to display what video I'm playing. It works whether playing a single file, a playlist, from the directory itself or from outside of it; it also knows when you're not watching (bwahaha).

I'm not entirely happy with the ram usage and hdd stats, but without those it looks a little too plain.

Code for creating the necessary mplayer.log. Removing the log file is necessary for when we close the player.

function mplayer() {
    /usr/bin/mplayer -quiet -msglevel all=0 -identify "$@" > $HOME/.mplayer/mplayer.log
    pid=$!
    wait $pid
    rm $HOME/.mplayer/mplayer.log
}

Code for Python script.

#!/usr/bin/python

import os
import sys
import getopt

class Log(object):
    def __init__(self, log):
        self.log = log
        self.opts = {}

    def readfile(self):
        """Python3 is weird about encoding, hence that line.
        If there's no log file, the playing function assumes
        nothing is playing and displays it as such.
        """
        try:
            with open(self.log, 'rb') as fd:
                for line in fd:
                    line_str = str(line, encoding='utf8')
                    key, value = line_str.strip().split('=')
                    self.opts[key] = value
        except IOError:
            pass
        return self

    def playing(self):
        """ID_FILENAME is specific to the logfile mplayer2 spits out.
        The split will grab the last part of a multi-element list if you
        play your videos from a parent directory.
            e.g., ~/tv/arrested_development/season_2/episode_16_meat_the_veals.mkv
            returns "episode_16_meat_the_veals.mkv"
        Otherwise it just returns the filename if you play it from the location
        of the file.
        """
        try:
            return self.opts['ID_FILENAME'].split('/')[-1]
        except KeyError:
            return '<Currently no video playing.>'

def main(_log):
    """The print statement is picked up by conky."""
    log = Log(_log)
    print(log.readfile().playing())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    """Will display ID_FILENAME from mplayer logfile. For use in Conky."""

    logfile = os.path.join(os.getenv('HOME'), '.mplayer', 'mplayer.log')
    main(logfile)

Background by londonali1010 (2009)

This script draws a background to the Conky window. It covers the whole of the Conky window, but you can specify rounded corners, if you wish.

To call this script in Conky, use (assuming you have saved this script to ~/scripts/):
	lua_load ~/scripts/draw_bg.lua
	lua_draw_hook_pre draw_bg

Changelog:
+ v1.0 -- Original release (07.10.2009)
]]

-- Change these settings to affect your background.
-- "corner_r" is the radius, in pixels, of the rounded corners. If you don't want rounded corners, use 0.

corner_r=45

-- Set the colour and transparency (alpha) of your background.

bg_colour=0x000000
bg_alpha=0.5

require 'cairo'
function rgb_to_r_g_b(colour,alpha)
	return ((colour / 0x10000) % 0x100) / 255., ((colour / 0x100) % 0x100) / 255., (colour % 0x100) / 255., alpha

BARGRAPH WIDGET
v2.1 by wlourf (07 Jan. 2011)
this widget draws a bargraph with different effects 
http://u-scripts.blogspot.com/2010/07/bargraph-widget.html
	
To call the script in a conky, use, before TEXT
	lua_load /path/to/the/script/bargraph.lua
	lua_draw_hook_pre main_rings
and add one line (blank or not) after TEXT
	
Parameters are :
3 parameters are mandatory
name - the name of the conky variable to display, for example for {$cpu cpu0}, just write name="cpu"
arg  - the argument of the above variable, for example for {$cpu cpu0}, just write arg="cpu0"
       arg can be a numerical value if name=""
max  - the maximum value the above variable can reach, for example, for {$cpu cpu0}, just write max=100
	
Optional parameters:
x,y	  - coordinates of the starting point of the bar, default = middle of the conky window
cap	  - end of cap line, ossibles values are r,b,s (for round, butt, square), default="b"
	    http://www.cairographics.org/samples/set_line_cap/
angle	  - angle of rotation of the bar in degress, default = 0 (i.e. a vertical bar)
	    set to 90 for an horizontal bar
skew_x	  - skew bar around x axis, default = 0
skew_y	  - skew bar around y axis, default = 0
blocks    - number of blocks to display for a bar (values >0) , default= 10
height	  - height of a block, default=10 pixels
width	  - width of a block, default=20 pixels
space	  - space between 2 blocks, default=2 pixels
angle_bar - this angle is used to draw a bar on a circular way (ok, this is no more a bar !) default=0
radius	  - for cicular bars, internal radius, default=0
	    with radius, parameter width has no more effect.

Colours below are defined into braces {colour in hexadecimal, alpha}
fg_colour    - colour of a block ON, default= {0x00FF00,1}
bg_colour    - colour of a block OFF, default = {0x00FF00,0.5}
alarm	     - threshold, values after this threshold will use alarm_colour colour , default=max
alarm_colour - colour of a block greater than alarm, default=fg_colour
smooth	     - (true or false), create a gradient from fg_colour to bg_colour, default=false 
mid_colour   - colours to add to gradient, with this syntax {position into the gradient (0 to1), colour hexa, alpha}
	       for example, this table {{0.25,0xff0000,1},{0.5,0x00ff00,1},{0.75,0x0000ff,1}} will add
	       3 colours to gradient created by fg_colour and alarm_colour, default=no mid_colour
led_effect   - add LED effects to each block, default=no led_effect
	       if smooth=true, led_effect is not used
	       possibles values : "r","a","e" for radial, parallel, perdendicular to the bar (just try!)
	       led_effect has to be used with theses colours :
fg_led	     - middle colour of a block ON, default = fg_colour
bg_led	     - middle colour of a block OFF, default = bg_colour
alarm_led    - middle colour of a block > ALARM,  default = alarm_colour

reflection parameters, not available for circular bars
reflection_alpha  - add a reflection effect (values from 0 to 1) default = 0 = no reflection
		    other values = starting opacity
reflection_scale  - scale of the reflection (default = 1 = height of text)
reflection_length - length of reflection, define where the opacity will be set to zero
		    values from 0 to 1, default =1
reflection	  - position of reflection, relative to a vertical bar, default="b"
		    possibles values are : "b","t","l","r" for bottom, top, left, right
draw_me     	  - if set to false, text is not drawn (default = true or 1)
		    it can be used with a conky string, if the string returns 1, the text is drawn :
		    example : "${if_empty ${wireless_essid wlan0}}${else}1$endif",

v1.0 (10 Feb. 2010) original release
v1.1 (13 Feb. 2010) numeric values can be passed instead conky stats with parameters name="", arg = numeric_value	
v1.2 (28 Feb. 2010) just renamed the widget to bargraph
v1.3 (03 Mar. 2010) added parameters radius & angle_bar to draw the bar in a circular way
v2.0 (12 Jul. 2010) rewrite script + add reflection effects and parameters are now set into tables
v2.1 (07 Jan. 2011) Add draw_me parameter and correct memory leaks, thanks to "Creamy Goodness"

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

Is there a way to align minutes and day right without using a monospace font?

You could try the ${goto x} command. That way you specify a hard coded position (x in pixels) where you want conky to print the info.

See http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html for a full list of conky settings

Thanks for your answer.

'goto' creates a fixed offset, but I need an offset which is relative to ${time %H}.

I'm not sure if this is possible with conky.

This is my code at the moment

${offset 170}${time %A}
${voffset -116}${font Neutraface 2 Display Thin:size=192}${time %H}${font Neutraface 2 Display Thin:size=128}:${time %M}$font

I've not used it myself, but you can use "alignr" (align right) on variables.  I'd imagine you could fix the colon and right-align the minutes hours, giving you the ability to fix the position of everything on the right.

Edited for stupid mistake.

        echo no updates
elif [ "$pacout" == "1" ]; then
        echo 1 update
else
        echo "$pacout updates"
fi

and I have a cronjob for pacman -Sy every 30 minutes.
There is probably a more elegant way to achieve this, but ah well.

Here is mine...

Usually I'm using MacBook with external screen above the laptop. And conky with two configurations.

Upper config is used to display notifications - two Gmail accounts, Pocket (read-it-later service) and Google Reader. As you probably noted, it's inspired by lock screen on Windows 8.

Bottom config is used for bit more things. From left to right you can see date&time, battery status, volume, current air temperature in my city, CPU load (graph per core and average as number), CPU frequency, CPU temperature (average for both physical cores), disk I/O and left capacity for /home, amount of data transferred for WiFi or LAN and upload/download graph for current connection.

Notification scripts are run by cron every minute saving numbers to .cache files. From there are numbers read by conky. Scripts for downloading such numbers from Gmail and Google Reader are mostly on top positions in Google. Also available in AUR. Just Pocket uses only wget and their API. API key is free for all on their Pocket's website.

/usr/bin/wget -O /tmp/pocket.tmp https://readitlaterlist.com/v2/stats?username=USER\&password=PASS\&apikey=API_KEY &> /dev/null

If you noted low quality of scripts: I'm learning this stuff, but it's working pretty good.

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

You could try the ${goto x} command. That way you specify a hard coded position (x in pixels) where you want conky to print the info.

See http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html for a full list of conky settings

Thanks for your answer.

'goto' creates a fixed offset, but I need an offset which is relative to ${time %H}.

I'm not sure if this is possible with conky.

This is my code at the moment

${offset 170}${time %A}
${voffset -116}${font Neutraface 2 Display Thin:size=192}${time %H}${font Neutraface 2 Display Thin:size=128}:${time %M}$font

this reply might be a bit late, but you can do this kind of alignment using a lua script
here is the script, i called it align.lua

--align function by mrpeachy 8/18/2012
require 'cairo'
function conky_align(altab)
if conky_window == nil then return end
local cs = cairo_xlib_surface_create(conky_window.display, conky_window.drawable, conky_window.visual, conky_window.width, conky_window.height)
local cr = cairo_create(cs)
local updates=tonumber(conky_parse('${updates}'))
if updates>3 then --as this function may use conky_parse("${cpu}")
altab=loadstring("return" .. altab)()
--#######################################################
--### SET DEFAULTS BELOW, DEFAULTS FOLLOW or ############
--#######################################################
local t=altab.t			or "set text"
local f=altab.f			or "mono"
local fs=altab.fs		or 12
local st=altab.st		or "normal"
local go=altab.go		or 50
local al=altab.al		or "l"
--########################################################
local co1,co2=string.find (t,"${")
	if co1 == 1 and co2 == 2 then
	t=conky_parse(t)
	end
	if st=="normal" then
	cairo_select_font_face (cr, f, CAIRO_FONT_SLANT_NORMAL, CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL);
	elseif
	st=="bold" then
	cairo_select_font_face (cr, f, CAIRO_FONT_SLANT_NORMAL, CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD);
	elseif
	st=="italic" then
	cairo_select_font_face (cr, f, CAIRO_FONT_SLANT_ITALIC, CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL);
	elseif
	st=="bold:italic" then
	cairo_select_font_face (cr, f, CAIRO_FONT_SLANT_ITALIC, CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD);
	end
local fsl=tonumber(fs)*1.2
cairo_set_font_size (cr, fsl)
local extents=cairo_text_extents_t:create()
cairo_text_extents(cr,t,extents)
local w=extents.x_advance
	if al=="r" then
	goto=go-w
	elseif al=="c" then
	goto=go-(w/2)
	elseif al=="l" then
	goto=go	
	end
return "${goto "..goto.." }${font "..f..":"..st..":size="..fs.."}"..t
else
return ""
end --if updates>3 then--#######################################################################
goto=nil
co1=nil
co2=nil
altab=nil
cairo_destroy(cr)
cairo_surface_destroy(cs)
cr=nil
end--end main function

EDIT - fixed a line so that default fontsize was measured correctly
EDIT2 - fixed another error with fontsize.  now working as advertised

in conkyrc, above TEXT you need to load the script like this

lua_load /path/to/script/align.lua

then to use it you call the function below TEXT like this

${lua_parse align {t="${time %H}",go=200,al="r",f="Zekton Rg",fs=36,st="bold"} }${lua_parse align {t=":",go=210,al="c",f="Zekton Rg",fs=36,st="normal"} }${lua_parse align {t="${time %M}",go=215,al="l",f="Zekton Rg",fs=36,st="bold:italic"} }

and here are some instructions

# using ${lua_parse align {t=,f=,fs=,st=,go=,al=}}
# eg: ${lua_parse align {t="${time %H}",f="Sans",fs=36,st="normal",go=100,al="r"}}
# settings explained
# t= this is the text to be displayed. Either type text directly t="hello world", or set a conky object t="${cpu cpu0}".  MUST be in quotes, default is "set text"
# f= font to be used, MUST be in quotes, default is "mono"
# fs= font size, NOT in quotes, default is 12
# st= font style MUST be in quotes, "normal", "bold", "italic" or "bold:italic" default is "normal"
# go= goto position, NOT in quotes, default is 50
# al= alignment type.  MUST be in quotes, default is "l"
#   al="l" left alignment, text appears to the left of go setting
#   al="c" center alignment, text is centered at go setting
#   al="r" right alignment, text appears to right of go setting
# settings are entered in a lua table {}, so be careful about getting the number of curly brackets correct in the setup
# note, settings do not need to be entered in any particular order BUT every entry MUST be followed by a comma ,
# note, if a setting is not given the default is used, you can edit the lua script to change the defaults where indicated

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

Hi josh, how are you doing? I wanna know how did you put this frame around your conky... Can you send me your .conkyrc?
Thanks

After using Arch for quite some time then going to <cough> for about 1.5 years, I'm back on Arch since last Saturday and have been basically tweaking it almost non-stop to look pretty, but subtle. Before I usually just outright took people's conky's that I really enjoyed. But this time I decided not to be lazy and built my own (even though there are ass load of settings, the conky website if quite useful once you figure out the minimal syntax). While this is nothing special and has no Lua (the code I've scares me not only in it's seeming exactitude (I'd never sleep/can't imagine Atromch's pain) but also its length), it does however nicely tie in with the look of everything I've done so far. Everything's kinda low key, color wise, cause I'm usually always in near dark or total dark and anything blindingly blue, cyan, white, or green hurts after a while.

Plus, I totally whipped together a nice Python script to display what video I'm playing. It works whether playing a single file, a playlist, from the directory itself or from outside of it; it also knows when you're not watching (bwahaha).

I'm not entirely happy with the ram usage and hdd stats, but without those it looks a little too plain.
http://ompldr.org/tZWpzNA

Code for creating the necessary mplayer.log. Removing the log file is necessary for when we close the player.

function mplayer() {
    /usr/bin/mplayer -quiet -msglevel all=0 -identify "$@" > $HOME/.mplayer/mplayer.log
    pid=$!
    wait $pid
    rm $HOME/.mplayer/mplayer.log
}

Code for Python script.

#!/usr/bin/python

import os
import sys
import getopt

class Log(object):
    def __init__(self, log):
        self.log = log
        self.opts = {}

    def readfile(self):
        """Python3 is weird about encoding, hence that line.
        If there's no log file, the playing function assumes
        nothing is playing and displays it as such.
        """
        try:
            with open(self.log, 'rb') as fd:
                for line in fd:
                    line_str = str(line, encoding='utf8')
                    key, value = line_str.strip().split('=')
                    self.opts[key] = value
        except IOError:
            pass
        return self

    def playing(self):
        """ID_FILENAME is specific to the logfile mplayer2 spits out.
        The split will grab the last part of a multi-element list if you
        play your videos from a parent directory.
            e.g., ~/tv/arrested_development/season_2/episode_16_meat_the_veals.mkv
            returns "episode_16_meat_the_veals.mkv"
        Otherwise it just returns the filename if you play it from the location
        of the file.
        """
        try:
            return self.opts['ID_FILENAME'].split('/')[-1]
        except KeyError:
            return '<Currently no video playing.>'

def main(_log):
    """The print statement is picked up by conky."""
    log = Log(_log)
    print(log.readfile().playing())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    """Will display ID_FILENAME from mplayer logfile. For use in Conky."""

    logfile = os.path.join(os.getenv('HOME'), '.mplayer', 'mplayer.log')
    main(logfile)

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

Greetings all. I am not an Arch user, but this forum has been an excellent resource for information.  I thought I would post my conky set up for others to see.  Please let me know what you think.

The on off indicators(top to bottom):
1. Bluetooth device connected(my PS3 controller)
2. Wired connection w/ IP
3. Wifi Connection w/ IP
4. OpenVPN running w/ external IP to verify

The script is ugly, it is my first conky setup after a long break.  I had issues with the pie_chart.lua loading font and other minor issues, so it may act strange when modified.

Items used/modified:

Wallpaper - http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=51146
Icons - IceGlass Http://kde-look.org/content/search.php
         - PS3 Sixaxis http://www.iconarchive.com/show/playsta … -icon.html
         - OPENVPN Icon - http://openvpn.net/index.php/miscellane … icons.html

Lua Script for pie chart - http://wlourf.deviantart.com/art/Pie-Ch … -166109474

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

Anyone has an icon set with small and minimalistic icons for things like HDD, temperature, battery?

Here is mine...

Could you share what icons are you using?

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

I'm new to conky and working on trying to get all set up on a macbook pro running Ubuntu. I know this forum is dedicated to arch linux but I got some of the code to work on my computer anyways. I was wondering if someone could post a conky that would display the info for Pandora radio? I saw an example on a screenshot of this earlier but didn't see the code. If anyone could help me out that would be great! Thanks

I like a simple Conky configuration with icons, so I configured my Conky by referencing yours. Thank you, cirrus, for sharing your  Conky and icons.

Re: conky configs and screenshots!

getting some great ideas from this thread so I thought I would share what I have created thus far:
SS...

arch logo (unsure why the preview is garbled!)

.conkyrc

lua script

Fonts used:
DroidSans
DroidSansFallback
Neuropolitical
Illustrate It
Stylebats
OpenLogos
GA Dings
GA Dings 1

Clock Rings explained: (starting from inner circle)
Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Day, Month

I still include the normal time so I can see it from other side of room!

as much as i like this config for some reason though it consumes relativly high cpu % this ss shows it is running at 2.50% !! any clues as to why this is, I'm just a beginner lol
