Hmmmmmm if I messed with those tattoos I'd have a black eye from my brother, and a few missing body parts.
... arms, legs ... teeth!
But, for me, that conky - yea I saw it - on second glance - deserves something like this for a backdrop:

I wouldnt recommend getting a tattoo then lol ............ It might be a health hazard for you!

I love that background! Ill stick it on there when I get back to it and see how it looks big_smile

Hi gang ...

I don't know if this should go in mrpeachy's LUA thread, mrpeachy's v9000 thread or here ... so I'll put it here. big_smile

So here we go, a touch of mrpeachy, a dash of falldown and a sprinkle of Sector11.
<<--- made a change.

When I ran the archived version the lua bars didn't line up and parts were wider than the "background images". I have all the fonts so it's not that. It's not the first time either, happens with a lot of conkys. Not just mrp's.

So since I had to adjust it - I figured I'd go for a bigger update - been playing with it off an on all day today.

Time for a nap, I think. Later!!

You and Peachy will have to discuss who is going to be Chrissy and Janet. lol

mrpeachy · 2012-08-02 23:23:48

^ i've always wanted to be a blonde so I'll be Chrissy

Come to think of it.. The only smart and sensible one of the group was Janet.
Jack and Chrissy were "special". big_smile

Sector11 · 2012-08-02 23:37:23

Right, and I'm Mr. Stanley Roper! There is no way I'd pass the physical to be Janet Wood, besides she has sooooooooo much hair, not at all like my Turtle Wax Dome.

lwfitz · 2012-08-03 07:30:42

I think that got rid of the shadow you were seeing Sector. It looks a little crisper to me now

Edit:

And Im quite interested to know whos gonna be Mr. Furley...

rhowaldt wrote a really cool script for Tao Te Ching quotes that
you can get the skinny on here
I wrote a simple conky that displays these quotes every 5 minutes.

VastOne - Nice setup all around; I couldn't resist adding Tao Te Ching quotes to a conky either.

Hi all (Again),

I am trying to make my Conky display the current volume in bar form but it isn't displaying correctly.

The screenshot shows the bar at 100% however It is really at 63%;

If i lower my volume past 63% the bar starts shrinking.
Is there a missing setting I need to add to make it behave correctly?

My current Conky Config:

ive been messing with conky all day and im still gonna be working on it until i like it

1omrCAufd4AWPIaHxT2oM4

as you can tell its a very simple conky file but in order to do something like for example display a clock would i have to incorperate a python/or lua script ?

CrunchyLinux · 2012-08-06 03:08:28

oh and another thing is there a way i can show what song is playing in cmus

VastOne · 2012-08-06 03:09:30

Just read through this thread for the clock and there are several folks that have How to's on music through conky
