xwininfo is how to get your "inside conky window" coordinates

Yeah at the minute this seems like the like the best way for getting the window offset, then I can just use the draw coords and sizes to test against, that way it'll always work with pixel accurate coordinates no matter how someone aligns or positions the window

eval $(xwininfo -id $(xdotool search --name music_conky) |
    sed -n -e "s/^ \+Absolute upper-left X: \+\([0-9]\+\).*/x=\1/p" \
           -e "s/^ \+Absolute upper-left Y: \+\([0-9]\+\).*/y=\1/p" \
           -e "s/^ \+Width: \+\([0-9]\+\).*/w=\1/p" \
           -e "s/^ \+Height: \+\([0-9]\+\).*/h=\1/p" )
  echo "$x $y

ive got my mechanism working in lua, just need to think of something to do with it! (but have some other things to finish off first)
worked out how to get things going with a single click rather than double so its more responsive
this way much easier than a previous method of getting clicks i used

I used this line to initialise the xdotool

xdotool search --classname Conky behave %@ mouse-click getmouselocation > ~/.conky/mouseTrap.log exec ~/Code/conky/audacious-applet/mouseCatcher.sh 2>&1 &

That way the script that compares the coordinates gets triggered on the mouse release event every time (completely independent of conky) then all the actions are just carried out by shell commands so even though conky might take a second or two to redraw and update the song has already been paused skipped etc

you can try this out

I'll definitely be taking a look at those more in depth soon I've been going over the lua scripts for conky posted around here for the past few days, i'm just not very artistic lol

This is returning (null) for some reason. It was working before but not anymore. Anything wrong with this variable that you can see?

Try something like this...

External IP: ${execi 1800 wget -q -O - checkip.dyndns.org | sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//'}

Alright.. I will refrain from calling you sir (although it is because I have respect for you)
S11 it is..

I have respect for you and your work as well, but we're on a first name, informal, basis here. Or "whatever suits the fancy" of the writer at the time. Some really strange nicknames pop up from time to time.

The skills and development in this thread is at an incredible level. It is amazing to see and sometimes hard to keep up with.

Well done everyone!

Any bash gurus that can help Deegan?
Knowledge of Italian may will help as well.

VastOne · 2012-01-29 20:53:29

^ Not a guru, but I do have it pulled down and testing it to see what is going on, trying to recreate the issue.

gmonti · 2012-01-29 22:14:25

@Sector11 I can help with the italian, but where.....????
@Deegan

I'm not an bash expert, but i notice that in the script, you are using nc.openbsd. Which distro are you using? Mine doesn't have that -U option.

At: http://nixdoc.net/man-pages/openbsd/man1/nc.1.html
-U Specifies to use Unix Domain Sockets <<<== What do you want to accomplish??

I'm using Debian, so normal netcat thought.
Another question... where do you use vlc in this script???

EDIT: maybe this pages can help you
http://wiki.videolan.org/How_to_use_VLC … n_in_linux
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=41938

or ask the author of the script (Suicide) in this forum: http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/1222

I've uploaded my audacious2 conky if anyone wants to play with it, the mouse stuff is commented heavily and easy to read if you're just curious, there's a readme inside it too but let me know how you get on with it. ie if it works for you lol

I am no bash scripter and I know Deegan is Italian. So if there is a language problem with English you could use Italian. I've known Deegan for years ... a very nice person.

Oh It is ok, i would help anyway. Hope what i have posted, could help him.

I remembered that case here: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/147509/#p147509, so it is why i referred to Suicide post.

Hi,
i recently installed #! on my netbook, and discovered the (not so) new conky bindings with lua. Being a huge conky fan, i couldnt resist making some nice applets with this great new tool !
First here are some screentshots :

low CPU load

1 CPU full load:

So basically there are 2 clocks (a graphical one and a text one), and 2 gauges to show system load (memory and cpu use). I tried to use at most the new possibilities, something that i (surprisingly !) saw nowhere else ; use shape, size and color to represent a value. Get rid of the numbers !

I tried to make them really easy to use and configure (colors, fonts and size). They are split in different files, thats easier to use, but you loose the dynamic change you make to the other files than the one loaded by conky.

Here is what's in my .conky directory :
.conky:
functions.lua --> miscallenous functions
global.lua --> loaded by conky, loads all the stuff and launch the applets
applets/

.conky/applets:
clock.lua --> moon clock !
clock_text.lua --> more regular clock
conf.lua --> global conf, not much in here for now
gauges.lua --> the 2 system gauges applets

And here is the code :
global.lua

require "cairo"

conkypath = os.getenv("HOME").."/.conky"
funs = assert(loadfile(conkypath.."/functions.lua"))
conf = assert(loadfile(conkypath.."/applets/conf.lua"))

clock_applet = assert(loadfile(conkypath.."/applets/clock.lua"))
clock_text_applet = assert(loadfile(conkypath.."/applets/clock_text.lua"))
print(conkypath)
gauges_applet = assert(loadfile(conkypath.."/applets/gauges.lua"))

funs()
conf()
clock_applet()
clock_text_applet()
gauges_applet()



function conky_main()
   if conky_window==nil then return end
   local cs=cairo_xlib_surface_create(conky_window.display,conky_window.drawable,conky_window.visual, conky_window.width,conky_window.height)
   local cr=cairo_create(cs)

   
   draw_clock(cr)
   draw_clock_text(cr, {x = 800})
   draw_system_gauge(cr, {x = 1200, y = 600,
              inner_max_radius = 70, surround_max_radius = 70, fontsize = 15,
              hwload_0 = Color(0.7, 0.7, 1, 0.8),hwload_1 = Color(1, 0.7, 0.7, 0.8)})

I made some more changes to my audacious conky, mostly just to tidy it up.

Short video of the 'finished' Conky
wupload link for conky
There's a short readme included and the bash script files are thoroughly commented, I'd have just posted on paste bin but it needed the images for the buttons and cd case overlay.

Feel free to edit distribute etc and any problems getting it working or questions just give me a shout and I'll help where I can.

Ok, so my new conky is coming along ok. Still got a few tweaks to do:

One question I hope someone can answer though. If I enable text outlines and move the text around, why does the outline not move too? How do I get the text outlines to move with the text?

What command are you using to "enable text outlines"? I don't see any.

Never mind:

draw_outline yes
draw_shades yes

Please show an example of how you move it and the shade or outline down'y move. In my test they do.

Hello
I have used code from this forum to make a Conky Toy Story theme, my kids like it!
The trouble is I cannot speed up the scrolling text for my music it is really slow?

${voffset -6}MUSIC ${hr 2}
${if_running exaile}${voffset 6}${offset 0}${voffset 0}${font DotMatrix:size=18}${exec conkyExaile --datatype=PT} ${voffset 0}${font PizzaDude Bullets:size=10}BBBBB ${font} ${offset -65}${color 0778ec}${exec conkyExaile -n --datatype=RT --ratingchar=C}$color
${font DotMatrix:size=18:}${offset 0 font DotMatrix:size=18:}${scroll 15 1 ${exec conkyExaile --datatype=TI}} ${font}
${font DotMatrix:size=18:}${offset 0 font DotMatrix:size=18:}${scroll 15 1 ${exec conkyExaile --datatype=AR}} ${font}
${font DotMatrix:size=18:}${offset 0 font DotMatrix:size=18:}${scroll 15 1 ${exec conkyExaile --datatype=AL}} ${font}
${image ~/cover.jpg -p 0,2 -s 64x64}
${else}       ..:: Exaile not running ::..
${endif}
${voffset -12}${HR 2}

^ Really cool Conky and Toy Story Theme...

I have looked the the scroll variable in Conky and see no options for speeding it up, but I will wait for others with more experience to confirm.

Sector11 · 2012-02-02 02:38:57

I have to agree with VastOne - no speed adjust for scroll. Sorry!

Nice theme for your kids.

EDIT:

I tested with this:

all the stuff needed here
and

TEXT
${scroll 20 1 Scroll 'text' by 'step' characters showing 'length' number of characters at the same time. The text may also contain variables. 'step' is optional and defaults to 1 if not set. If a var creates output on multiple lines then the lines are placed behind each other separated with a '|'-sign. If you change the textcolor inside scroll it will automatically have it's old value back at the end of scroll. The end and the start of text will be separated by 'length' number of spaces.}

mrpeachy · 2012-02-02 03:10:25

would i be mistaken to say that if you want a faster scroll just increase step?
step is how many characters the text moves per cycle
