Hello,

Wow, I was browsing the wiki and noticed that there was an entry named DzenSchemeMonitor, and with curiosity I clicked on the link to see how it compared to the one I made some time ago to use with dzen2 in my macbook.... I laughed when I found out it was the one I made

I don't even remember when I pasted it on a pastebin!

Btw, I don't find Scheme to be more exotic than Haskell

Hehe, very cool! So, I finnaly found the author .
I stumbled upon your code while searching google and was amazed to see a dzen driver in Scheme .

Btw, I don't find Scheme to be more exotic than Haskell

No, it's surely not more exotic, though Haskell is also not a what i would call "mainstream" language .

An slightly updated version is here:

So, if you find some spare time please update the wiki entry preferably with a short description and a screenshot of your code in action.

I actually updated the code already, with attribution going to tizoc... but a screenshot would be great.

Trying this out for the first time, albeit with fluxbox rather than xmonad or whatever. For some reason it tells me it can't load terminus, even though I do indeed have terminus-font installed.

dzen: error, cannot load font: '-*-terminus-*-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*'

Also, I've noticed that conky is still drawing to the desktop, and this is rather annoying. I notice it doesn't show up on anyone else's screenshots, is this because I'm using fluxbox? Either way, how do I get rid of it?

Configs for reference:

#conkyrc for dzen

background        no
out_to_console        yes
update_interval        1.0
total_run_times        0

For terminus to work, you have to add the font path to your xorg.conf:

Section "Files"
    ...
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/local"        # added for Terminus
    ...
EndSection

As for conky printing to screen, are you sure you are running conky-cli (it's in the AUR)?

gotmor · 2007-12-20 03:46:50

HEADS UP. in latest SVN dzen (svn checkout http://dzen.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ dzen) ^r() and ^ro() accept parameters of the form "WIDTHxHEIGHT" and "WIDTHxHEIGHT±X±Y".

You can do things like vOTE5 with the new synatx..

thayer · 2007-12-20 04:34:26

purdy... thanks Rob!

fivre · 2007-12-20 05:11:58

Okay, I've fixed my previous problems, but now I can't get any images to display. Same config as before. What am I doing wrong?

cu3edweb · 2007-12-20 13:52:48

Thayer or anyone: Where did you get the marker.xbm also does anyone have icons for the tabbed, and grid layouts?

Thanks

Here is marker.xbm:
Those icons are very simple to make, I might make some more layout later.

Thanks for the marker. I just made the ones I needed.

That config doesn't seem to have any images with their full paths, ie ^i(/path/to/bitmaps/bitmap.xbm).

dzen is going to need fully-qualified paths to each image.

If you want xpm (full-colour) support, you'll have to patch that in yourself (I posted a pkgbuild somewhere in this thread).

gotmor · 2007-12-20 17:52:23

EDIT:
Graph support is now in the SVN version. No need for gcpubarG any more.
Check out the wiki entry for more details.

gcpubar -fg grey50 -s graph -gw 12 -gs 1 -w 300 -h 62 -l '^i(cpuicon.xpm)' | dzen2 -h 64 -w 370 -ta l -bg black

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just hacked up a first alpha version of graph support for gcpubar.

You need the latest SVN dzen version, and this modified version of gcpubar.

Compile it:

 gcc -o gcpubarG gcpubarG.c

Use it like:

 gcpubarG -i 1 -h 30 -w 120 -s 1 | dzen2 -w 120 -h 30 -ta l

Where '-s' is the amount of space in pixels between each graph value.

You can make graphs like these:
vOTIz
The upper graph runs with "-s 0", the lower with "-s 1".

Or integrate it in a statusbar:
vOTI1

Rob.

Wow, that looks great!

thayer · 2007-12-20 18:13:08

Indeed, that does look great. I must admit I'm not a fan of bars or graphs because I feel my desktop space is at a premium already, but kudos for the additional feature.

Thought I'd share my dzen config I have so far.

buttons, how did you get the updates/news notification?

does gcpubar support more than one core?

and what about mpc intergration? -> did it with mpc | sed 1q | grep - (presumes that songs have a -)

oh and what about weather xpms?? buttons??

I took the "many dzens" approach which allowed me to have a more active bar.

* Clicking on the workspace list takes you to that workspace
* Hovering over the title bar shows a full width slave for large window titles (note the ... here)
* Hovering over the |{KERNEL,MAIN,DAEMON}| displays a scrollable view of those log files
* Scrolling changes the volume and clicking toggles mute. (updated in realtime using inotify)
* Hovering over the weather displays the forecast
* Hovering over the system stats shows more (to be expanded later)
* Hovering over the clock shows `cal -3` (note that the "important" part of the time is highlighted to make is easy to see)

The only real problem I have (other than running out of pixels) is that the script doesn't quit cleanly. To reload it I have to run "killall dzonky dzen2 inotail watchfile inotifywatch ;sleep 1; dzonky". If anybody has some suggestions to work around this, I'm all ears. Also, i get segfaults if I use scrolling and ^cs(), but i use $EVENTSCLEARABLE to get around that for now.

I used the conky one that floats around these forums. Here it is:

~/bin/dzen_updates.pl

#! /usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
# November 15, 2006
# Daniel Vredenburg (Vredfreak)
# This is a program that checks for package updates for Arch Linux users.

open (MYINPUTFILE, "/var/log/updates.log") or die "No such file or directory: $!";

my $i = 0;
while(<MYINPUTFILE>)
{
        if (/^(.*)\/(.*)(\..*\..*\.)/)  {
                #print " \n";
                $i++;
        }

}
if ($i == 0) {
        print "up to date";
} else {
        print "available ($i)";
}
close(MYINPUTFILE);

Sometimes I change the print commands to alter the colour when there are updates available.

Then you need this in your /etc/cron.d/hourly directory:

pacsync.sh

#!/bin/bash

# This issues a command to 1. Sync the package database, 
# 2. Check for upgradable packages, 3. print the URL of any possible upgrade. 
# The output of our command gets written to updates.log, which we will use 
# dzen_updates.pl to parse to see if there are any available updates.

pacman -Syup --noprogressbar > /var/log/updates.log

Which will of course do a package sync each hour and put the results in /var/log/updates.log. Make sure this is writeable by root and readable by you.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, once you've signed up for weather.com's xml service they send you a link to a zip file containing everything you need, including xpms. Then you'll need to open the 32x32 folder, and run the following command (courtesy of gotmor):

for i in *.png; do convert -scale 14x14 "$i" "${i%%.*}-scaled.xpm"; done

And then use these images when following the weather instructions from Rob's site.

Keep in mind you will also need to patch dzen2 to allow full-colour xpms. For completeness, and because this post isn't nearly long enough yet, here's the PKGBUILD:

Ok I did the code to convert the 32x32 xpms but I get a message saying the convert command cannot be found, which proggie do i need to install in order for it to work?

You need ImageMagick.

I'm having some trouble getting the new gcpubarG to work.
I wan't it to be a small rectangular graph like in gotmor's screenshot. however
"gcpubarg -s g -w 200 -h 16 -gs 1 -gw 3" displays the usage options in the dzen statusbar and with just "gcpubarg" dzen doesn't even show up.

Executing "gcpubarg" on the command line gives the correct values I guess ("^fg(white)^p(1)^r(1x0+0-1" and so on).

gcpubarG is obsolete, you just need to grab the latest development version of dzen:

svn checkout http://dzen.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ dzen

and use the gcpubar that comes with it.

Have a look at the Wiki entry for further details.
