List of Conky Resources

[ichase]

I decided to post a seperate thread to provide some great resources on Conky instead of going off subject in another thread. I hope many of you that may decide to dive into using conky or already do, that these resorces are helpful and provide you with a creative jolt.

I have been seriously messing with conky for a little over a month now (dabbled here and there before that)and it never ceases to amaze me at how powerful a tool this has morphed into. The more you do and the more you see what can be done the more you want to start messing with those config files to achieve a new look or produce additional information. Face it, we are geeks. We LOVE additional information!!!!!!

 

Ubuntu Conky Thread This is the mother of all conky threads as it made page 1888 yesterday

Crunch Bang Linux Conky thread This thread is no longer active as they went to a monthly conky thread but there is over 100 pages of conkys and scripts on this thread. Go to Tips, Tricks & Scripts to see the monthly thread.

Arch Linux Conky Thread - This is not real active but another good source of ideas

 

If you are interested in weather:

Ubuntu Conky Weather - TeoBigusGeekus has put together some awesome scripts to capture weather from Accuweather, Wunderground and NWS.

#! Conky Weather - MrPeachy started a spin off thread on Wednesday dedicated to weather in conky. MrP is the master of Lau scripting. Once you see what this man has done with Conky/Lau/Cairo you will be blown away. THIS is BRILLIANT. Check out his newest creation with thermometers and gauges. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

 

Some other great conky resources:

MrPeachy's Blog

Conky Pitstop

Conky Object Variables - This is the stuff BELOW the TEXT portion of your .conkyrc

Conky Config settings - This is the stuff ABOVE the TEXT portion of your .conkyrc

 

Have fun, I look forward to seeing your creations.

 

All the best,

 

Ian

Excellent resources, thanks

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Excellent!

Thanks Ian...

Here's another good link for Conky Art...

[ichase]

Excellent Neil, I meant to add that page, actually thought I did. Great Catch!!!!! Like I said, hope to see some great creations come out. I know Eric has made comments about trying out Conky. I'm waiting for the ultimate Slack Conky!!!!

[V.T. Eric Layton]

I'm too busy reading good books right now. Maybe play with conky once the dark, cold winter nights get here. Oh, wait... I'm in Florida.

Hey it gets cold in Florida. I was in Daytona Beach for 12 years and with that coastal wind, it gets really cold some years.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Yeah... it does get cold here in the depth of winter, but it's not long-lasting. There might be two or three consecutive days of cold, then a warm-up for a couple days, then another cold front moves in. It ain't Minnesota. Let's put it that way. I can do shorts, Ts, and flip-flops sometimes all the way till Christmas. Actually, today I'm wearing cutoff jeans, a Scooby-Do T-shirt, and flip-flops. It's 83F at 1350hrs. Brrrrrr!

[ichase]

There might be two or three consecutive days of cold

Imagine the conky a person of your linux expertise could conger up in two or three days.

 

[V.T. Eric Layton]

My legendary Linux expertise is highly overrated.

[ichase]

Ahhhhhh, and once again our dear Eric takes the "humble" approach. You and Josh are cut from the same cloth that way. So with all that you have done for me to get me to the point I am at now. I will toot your horns for you.

 

[abarbarian]

Loving this thread.

 

That pen apart from the colour is the very same one we had made to promote out business way back in the early 90's. Outs was red with Dragon Defence Training in gold lettering.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Ahhhhhh, and once again our dear Eric takes the "humble" approach. You and Josh are cut from the same cloth that way.

 

I don't know about Josh, but for me, it's all done with smoke and mirrors.

 

[securitybreach]

I don't know about Josh, but for me, it's all done with smoke and mirrors.

I just make it up as I go

[ichase]

How ever you do it, it seems to be working well for both of you. Alrighty, let's see some conky creations!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This is the rough draft of the basic conky config template I have been working on for a few weeks now. It has a lot of notes to explain different sections of the conky config file.

 

Conky Config Template would have used pastebin but for some reason it's not working from my desk here at work. And like I said, it's a rough draft and a work in progress so be gentle.

Thanks Josh,

Just made a few edits to the code. Funny how when you see it posted the errors pop right out at you

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean

[amenditman]

Resurrecting this old Conky thread because I used some of the sources listed to make this marvelous creation. I had some real issues with integrating with KDE 4.10, some of the older advice just doesn't apply. The only help I found was at the Gentoo forums, and you know you're in it deep when the only place you can find answers is Gentoo. Then there was systemd to think about. Lennart Poettering uses Conky and there was help available. Still don't know if I did it right, but it seems OK. We'll see as systemd continues to mature and we all start to get more comfortable with it.

 

 

Blurred out my IP at the request of the local conspiracy theorist. Thanks Josh!

 

The Conky is beautiful, and I cleaned up the .conkyrc code quite a bit. It gets to be a mess in there when you start with a cut and paste from a quidzillion conky's you find online. It is fully transparent, integrated into KDE, shows on all virtual desktops, automatically switches the IP address between wired and wireless depending on what is active (I did that all by myself without even a recipe to follow, pat, pat, pat ), and starts/stops when systemd tells it to.

The rest of the desktop could use some love next.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Wow! That's pretty!

 

Oh, and I know you IP address, so you better behave.

[ichase]

Nice Ameditman!! I thought about resurecting this thread and glad you did. I have not seen where systemd has had any impact on how conky runs. I have not run conky in KDE, have always ran it in OpenBox. What issues were you having that you were not able to find a sollution for outside the Gentoo forums?

 

Mine is constantly evolving but overall it keeps the same info:

 

 

I will post the .conkyrc tonight when I get home. Overall it's pretty much the same as I posted back in 2011. A few tweaks here and there.

Maybe I was over thinking the systemd thing, I have noticed a jump in xsessions-errors since I tried to set up systemd to run Conky. I'll keep you informed if I find anything concrete.

 

The problems that I found answers on Gentoo forums were:

1- Full transparancy - everywhere I looked the information did not apply to the latest Conky, KDE 4.10, or systemd. Like I said, I might have been making it more complicated than I should have.

2 - Getting it to present Conky on all virtual desktops, fully transparent, and behind any windows, active or not.

 

Mine is evolving at a tremendous rate. I've already changed it a bunch.

[ichase]

Not sure the differences in how Conky runs in KDE. I know in OB it presents on all 4 of my virtual desktops.

Not sure if you have this or not, but this Conky configuration settings page is EXTREMELY helpful.

[amenditman]

Oh yes, I bookmarked that and kept it open while working on mine.

[abarbarian]

Nice Conky's guys. That link is very useful.

[sunrat]

@amenditman - could you post your conkyrc? It will be of interest to anyone with KDE 4.10, and I'd like to compare it with my one from 4.8.

Looks good btw.

Man! What is the masochistic thrill you guys get from configuring that medieval torture application? Gkrellm... even SuperKaramba is ever so much less painful to configure.
