My Conky Config

mrpeachy · 2011-06-14 03:39:05

im just playing around, got interested in interactive conky

how about a moc info display with interactive buttons to control moc?
again in early stages and things still to work out!
but all the buttons do what they say
works with playlist, so need one set up first

does that defeat the purpose of a console player? big_smile

This will be juicy for fluxbox indefinitely! (even though I'm on a netbook and use the multimedia keys[maybe i'll set the multimedia keys to VLC now] I'm going to analyze everything you do so I can do this on rhythmbox and set the pause/play next and prev buttons underneath my current setup.) Keep it up! I'm morphing your work into something making my netbook feel exactly like me. smile

Wait...does this mean clickable RSS? (I don't remember if it's been done.. I'd love my facebook feed so I'm not always needing to be on chromium.)

Current setup:

I've tried a few "consol players" and to be honest I like the screen clean, a space for conky is always an exception, so the terminal with MOC running is just fine, minimized when now wanted and opened when needed.

But I'll watch this with interest.

If you could make it work for different players like MPD, that would be cool! big_smile

as long as you can control the player with console commands then it would be easy to switch from player to player

its actually a pretty simple mechanism, each button overwrites a different number to a text file, then the lua script reads the text file and executes the appropriate command and adjusts the text file as needed

i'm gonna try out my hand at gimp to make some nice buttons and eliminate the need for labels which will shrink the control panel down considerably.
Then it could be easily integrated into a conky config, rather than be used as a standalone display

edit ... maybe it would be easier to have the buttons send the commands directly, and then just have the lua script detect the state of moc for the display part
but then i would need to write other scripts if i wanted a button to be able to perform more than 1 action based on player status...

Why not use icons that are already done?

Exclusive Free Multimedia Icon Set – 14 Icons in PNG and AI Formats

Your time working on and creating great LUA scripts should not be wasted on something that is already done for you. smile

yes... i came to the same conclusion big_smile
ive been looking for icons to use. I don't want anything too fancy, just flat b/w i found this set
http://www.gentleface.com/free_icon_set.html
which should fit

also re mpd... after a little persuasion I have it (and mpc) up and running
i have to think about how i want the buttons to behave and some design now smile

Sector11 asked me on the June Screenshot thread to post my conky, so here it is.

http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/1077

I adapted it (basically changed colors and width) from a iggykoopa and arpinux post somewhere on this thread.

I call it with this:

lua_load ~/scripts/.lua/vert_bars.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre bar_stats

smile

If you want to see how it looks like...

mrpeachy · 2011-06-15 02:50:25

here's a mpd player
the buttons simply send the appropriate commands directly to mdc
the only lua script is to draw the background
the info is generated in the conkyrc

unzip in ~/
run using the launch script if you want to try smile
http://ompldr.org/vOTJpaw

needs some tweaks in terms of spacing...and i think i'll reduce the icon size
the icon size and position are determined in the files in the adesk folder

mpc has the command to play a song at a given position in the playlist, so play 200 plays the 200th song...
i have in idea to put a track number selector function using a lua script

possibly add more controls... lets just say a work in progress!

just realised the bg script isn't in the tar.gz

this is is (i have it called as backgroundtest.lua in the conkyrc)

edit

added some buttons
random on/off, repeat on/off, remove track from playlist

also made the info scroll in conkyrc and added a curved corner background behind the controls
will update archive at some point

Thank hobbs.... I must have missed iggykoopa & arpinux's posts.
Shame on me. Sorry guys!

mrpeachy · 2011-06-15 20:22:37

i think im happy with my mpd player for now
perhaps the icons are a little thick...

here are all the files you need
http://ompldr.org/vOTJ5Yw

unzip to home directory

a couple of changes to conky mpd player

i wasnt happy with those icons some i made some myself, they are thinner and fit better in the boxes
also added some color change options and backgrounds

if anyone wants the new files then i can upload them

Got thinking today about ...

How minimal can a conky be?

TEXT
This is a test - a very minimal conky!
There is NOTHING above TEXT.
It updates every 3 seconds.
Time to play.

  Time: ${time %R:%S}
  Date: ${time %a, %d %b. %y}
Uptime: ${uptime}
   CPU: ${cpu} %

That pretty minimal...
I wonder if it works in Xfce, GNOME KDE and other DE / WM environments other than OpenBox.

Sector11, I have just tried it in XFCE.

I agree with VO - find shelter ... like, yesterday.
What's a hook?
Regardless, that doesn't look good at all!

I just started working on this one

its all based off of the info found on this page
http://forecast.weather.gov/jetstream/d … wnload.htm

im using a lua file to do the wget and image displaying, but you could do it in the conkyrc with execi

i downloaded all the background images and overlays and have them saved as they don't change

for me

http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/RadarImg/N0R/LSX_N0R_0.gif
http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Legend/N0R/LSX_N0R_Legend_0.gif
http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Warnings/Short/LSX_Warnings_0.gif

gets the the radar image, the legend and text and the warnings respectively

LSX is my location, you can get the location to use at the bottom of the link

i'll post everything once its all done, i hope to get a little animated progression of the past few radar images

Question
how do i get wget to overwrite files each time?

just wget without options downloads the new images but renames them, so they dont get displayed
using the -N option to turn on timestamping doesn't work in this particular case

what i am having to do right now is remove the files before wget activates

A hook echo is caused by a rear flank downdraft. It means if you have a storm cellar, you should get in it.

Great stuff I love H. P. Lovecraft! And a very nice first conky as well! A lot better than my first.

I see you have a problem:

with the ending:

Cartre Mere: +54.0À°C
not:
Cartre Mère: +54.0°C

Maybe your font? I cannot find "HandelGotD" - HandelGotDLit and HandelGotDBol I have but not without.

Also why not turn your conky into Cthulhu's house where he waits dreaming?

well, i dare say that an activity spurt within the next few days may well produce some postable code
once there is a chance that it will work on someone elses computer. Its based on the national (ie American) weather service website so will probably only work with US locations

the basic display the current radar pic shoulds be pretty easy to finish up

the make a animated view of the previous scans could be more difficult
for some reason, the site tells you how to go get the past radar images, but when you get there It says they dont exist, and i dont know where else to find them

also @Philémon Labulle
i like your conky, i like that it has an overall unifying theme that works and makes it standout
