cairo dock in openbox.. interesting, will try that too.

JohnWittle · 2010-08-05 07:23:52

A year ago, I decided to see if I was smart enough to throw together a script. I've never done any programming beyond little hello world things, so it was a momentous task for me.

Anyway, I wanted a way to put the text of the last IM i recieved into conky. I wrote it and used it for a year, and then I decided that I wanted to get rid of the "ding" notification, but just having the conky text change wasn't enough to catch my eye, so I decided to have it rotate through colors as I recieved IMs. Red to green to orange etc. It catches my eye every time I get an IM, and is very unobtrusive (unlike, say, the pidgin icon that sits in a dock.)

Here is it in action! http://treefire.wetfish.net/first.png
http://treefire.wetfish.net/second.png
http://treefire.wetfish.net/third.png

The script is VERY SHODDILY WRITTEN. This was my first program ever, and I haven't written anything since. You have to change the file in the script to whatever file you want to use, and then in conky just ${exec cat ~/.file} or whatever.

the script is here: http://treefire.wetfish.net/getlastim.py

if you'd like to improve it, please do

Its good!

I liked wbar so i used that for a while, but it was playing up with xcompmgr drop shadows. Managed to stop conky having a shadow, but wbar wasn't playing ball with anything i tried so switched to cairo and it's working great!

there are some cool tools including a dock here (My favourite of his is the trans-follow script that makes windows in the background fade automatically)

The volume ring gets data from volume.sh script which shows from amixer get Master
The volume ring is not a regular ring so it's defined in separate function in lua script.
Oh.. and you'd better delete rings-v1.2.lua.dumb ... i've experimented in it and it didn't work

It's a very, very impressive! Many thanks for configs!

Its good. Could you also explain a bit about how to get the weather script working with your conkyrc? Specifically, which service provider do you use, and where to put the web address.

Edit: Nevermind. Installed conky_forcast from AUR.

Can post configs for all this stuff if anybody wants. Like i said, most of it is in this thread already. Wallpaper was off deviantart somewhere.

It looks good.
Please upload this conky which shows the updates for arch.

Played a litle bit

configs:
http://docd.zx6.ru/desktop/conky24.08.10.zip

One must launch three instances
conky -c .conkyright - for fight window,
conky -c .conkydrives - fot bottom one, and
conky -c .conkyclock - for the clock.

Edit:
added "Recent Updates" script in php

Edit 2:
Added AUR Recent Updates, and removed weather.

Anyone know if it's possible to colour a cpu or network bar vertically rather than horizontally?

Fruity · 2010-09-15 11:07:32

This is what I have so far:-

Edited for correct linky thingy,

I know it's possible because I've seen it before (if you mean what I think you mean), but I'm not sure how it's done, I think I saw it on conky's own sample page so I'll look for it and get back to you!

Here's my favorite of mine that I've done

It's quite messy, but it works and I like how it looks.
The one problem I find is that it doesn't update the position of the song every second, so it's not 100% accurate, but I'm not bothered.

You'll need conkyRhythmbox from AUR and a font called MetDemo for the treble clef.

I wanted for another conky to display a different text file every day (showing what lectures I have and when, specifically) and was probably going to use conkyText by the same person who wrote conkyRhythmbox that I'm using here, just don't know how to set it that it changes depending on the day. I was going to make a text file for each day in somewhere like ~/Scripts/conky/lectures/monday, etc. Any idea?

EDIT: Found out how to do this, I just wrote a simple shell script to cat text files depending on the day of the week it is.

You can do this purely in conky if you didn't know.

Snippet from my laptops conkyrc:

${color3}POW:${color}\
  ${if_existing /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state no} AC only\
  ${else}${if_match ${battery_percent BAT1}<10}${color red}\
${endif}\
${battery_percent BAT1}$color%
${if_existing /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ACAD/state off-line}\
      ${battery_time BAT1}${else}\
${if_match ${battery_percent BAT1}==100}      Charged\
${else}      Charging\
 ${endif}${endif}${endif}

This will show up as
POW: Battery percent (Unless there's no battery connected)
Battery time (Unless it's either charging or fully charged)

Give it a spin and see what you can come up with.

If you want, I could post a screenshot, though it's really nothing special.

Guys, quick heads up on a useful site just started and getting populated: http://conky-pitstop.wikidot.com

This is a dual monitor setup, a 23" and a 17", hence the crease. The 17" is covered by a giant conky. Thumbnail is cutoff.

${font DejaVu Sans Mono:size=9}${execpi 60 DJS=`date +%_d`; cal | sed '1d' | sed '/./!d' | sed 's/$/ /' | fold -w 21 | sed -n '/^.\{21\}/p' | sed 's/^/${alignc} /' | sed /" $DJS "/s/" $DJS "/" "'${color 1500FF}'"$DJS"'${color}'" "/}

The above is my calendar line, I changed the colour to highlight today with: '${color 1500FF}'"$DJS"'${color}'

But how can I change the colour for the days of the week? So Su Mo Tu We etc, are blue too.

This works:

${color ffffff}${font monospace:size=10}${execpi 3600 cal -s | sed '1d' | sed '/^ *$/d' | sed -r '0,/./s/^(.{0})(.{20})/\1${color 8ab9d1}\2${color}/' | sed 's/\<'"$(date +%-d)"'\>/${color 1793d1}&${color}/'}

Excellent, thanks VCoolio

Edit:- :bangs head on wall: OK, so how do I center it within the conky frame?

${font DejaVu Sans Mono:size=9}${execpi 3600 cal -m | sed '1d' | sed '/^ *$/d' | sed -r '0,/./s/^(.{0})(.{20})/\1${color 0C36F0}\2${color}/' | sed 's/\<'"$(date +%-d)"'\>/${color 0C36F0}&${color}/'}

fruity, to get back to your older question about vertical color changing. i dont see it answered. you can set by using the -t (n) setting n as the threshold percent you want the secondary color to be visible. but fades every value between 0 and the -t number given. like this;

${cpugraph cpu0 20,220 00FF00 FF0000 -t 75}

zom, i wrote this to get a working else if, for my battery.

${if_empty ${battery_time}}${color grey}Battery:$color ${battery}
${else}${color grey}Battery: $color${battery_short}${color grey}${alignr}Remaining:${color FF3300}${battery_time}
${endif}

i used the same method to get my wlan0 and eth0 to only display when active.
