SabayonConky

[dalian]

I've decided to experiment a little with gimp ( to confirm that my transition from Photoshop is complete >:] ) and with this occasion, made a conky. It's exclusively for Sabayon, since there are few to none out there. The source code isn't written from scratch, just taken from somewhere and modified accordingly. The text looks bad because I was pretty much in a hurry and didn't spend any time configuring it. Feel free to toy with the fonts and colors. It doesn't use any lua, since it's basically the text over png images. I personally am having problems with the alignment, so if it doesn't work properly tell me, or, if you know your way around .conkyrc, fix it. Because I sure as hell don't. The reason why there's no networking is because I was having problems with the code.




You can download the images and the .conkyrc here :

Code: Select all

For those who don't know, just extract/decompress both the files to /home/user/ and run the conky command from the terminal.

Also, the CPU usage is set to 3 cpu's because I have a Tripe Core. If you have a quad core, search for the CPU code lines, and add this just underneath the 3rd cpu:

Code: Select all

${goto 105}CPU4  Usage: ${font Droid Sans:style=Bold:size=8}${color3}${cpu cpu4}%${font}${color} 

If you have less, just delete or comment the unnecessary lines.

Your zip archive isn't unzippable:

Code: Select all

$ unzip conky.zip 
Archive:  conky.zip
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of conky.zip or
        conky.zip.zip, and cannot find conky.zip.ZIP, period.

Since the .conkyrc is a small file, you could just paste the content in a codebox here …

Are you sure it's not your problem ? I managed to unzip it on both my Linux Machine and my Android Phone ;/
And even if I did paste the code, you'd still need the images.

Yeah, I AM sure. Instead of downloading the archive I am redirected to a dating website -.-"
Sorry, but I don't trust your paste service.
I tested it on different machines, OS' and browsers: Linux/Windows, Firefox/Opera/Chrome.

Very nice.

This works.

I needed some time to notice, that all files were hidden … so, what do you want to improve there now?

Mainly the font and color of the text.

Mainly the font and color of the text.

1.) You don't have to fullquote every time
2.) Regarding to the configuration settings, use

Code: Select all

${color #009bf9}

where #009bf9 is the hex code of the colour after the TEXT statement. If you don't familiar with it, then there are several websites like this out there to consult
3.) You can use

Code: Select all

font fontname

or

Code: Select all

xftfont xftfontname

to specify the font (before TEXT). For example: xftfont Comic sans MS:size=10

There are many .conkyrc out there to consult and get an idea
Again, thanks for sharing your work.

I know how to change the font as well as the values.
I just meant I wanted to find better configurations for it, like a better-looking font and color, but then again, everyone has different desktops and should therefore configure it themselves.
For example, I use this for my grey wallpaper.
