Yesterday I did a fresh Arch install and switched to Ob. Conky needs some improvement though.

I don't think that your conky need improvement!

And nice desktop btw! Could you tell me what is your icon set and your openbox and gtk theme please?

CaptainHero · 2009-05-28 06:33:46

Cheers.

OB Theme is Wise Dark, found it on box-look.org, GTK Theme is Shiki Wise and Icon Theme is Gnome Colors Wise. Everything pretty wise. And green.

Well, rapid reply thanks... Mr Wise

Edit: Are you sure of the name of the OB theme? Because I can't find it on box-look and I'm still googling but I don't find it

I'm sorry it's called Shiki/Dark Colors which consists of a couple of themes, the one I use is called Wise Dark.

I made the wallpaper in Gimp with the Aarchlinux Logo's found in archlinux-artwork package and the OpenBox logo in hosted on box-look.org in Logo's. I just googled for the Open Source Logo. The OpenBox theme is in the openbox-themes package and is called Mire_v2_blue

The dirty shot was 300% staged, I'm going to color my tint2 and conky text at the bottom, and that's not always my wallpaper it switches between the whole collection.

those should be [url tags instead of <a href.. and the images should be [img tags... check out this.

zantekk, would you like to have a script that hides the MPD section of conky if nothing is playing?

i sure would

In the lasts conky versions you have if_mpd_playing for that thing.

I use it in this way:

$if_mpd_playing${color lightgrey}MPD: ${color #88aadd}$mpd_status ${color #88aadd}$mpd_smart ${color #5C7396} ${mpd_bar 7,50} ${color darkgrey} Vol: ${mpd_vol}%$else${color lightgrey}Spotify: ${color #88aadd}${head /home/kaos/.tune 1}$endif

The idea is to show the mpd info if mpd is playing and if it's not playing, the spotify info (retrieved with an external script)

It doesn't seems to hide the MPD data when I stop the player, only if mpd is not running. For me this is a problem, but for you probably will not.

But unnafortunatelly it doesn't seems to hide the MPD data when I stop the player, only if mpd is not running.

i think you can use `${if_empty mpd_artist}PRINT STUFF$endif` as when mpd is stopped, the mpd_artist variable (or any mpd variable for that matter) is empty; thus, nothing will be printed

mpd variables aren't empty when mpd is stopped, it still stores the artist of the last song played, and if I close mpd the value is (null) that is not an empty string.

I ended with ${if_match "$mpd_status" == "Playing"} :

${if_match "$mpd_status" == "Playing"}${color lightgrey}MPD: ${color #88aadd}$mpd_status ${color #88aadd}$mpd_smart ${color #5C7396} ${mpd_bar 7,50} ${color darkgrey} Vol: ${mpd_vol}%$else${color lightgrey}Spotify: ${color #88aadd}${head /home/kaos/.tune 1}$endif

By the way, if you are interested on the script that gets the info from spotify:

Yes, that's pypanel. It was a hassle to configure but I like it now
And I really like the beauty of a simple desktop.

for a tray.. I use stalonetray.. it loads into openbox's dock and stays hidden in the corner of the screen.
