Almost done..

Hmm.. intellicast is reporting wrong time... need to look into that.

I remember having this issue and fixing it but for the life of me I cant remember what I did.......
Ive got conky calling an image and a cpu bar being called with mrpeachys allcombined.lua but the lua bar always wants to be behind the image. Hopefully someone can help me with this

You could try to add image drawing function to allcombined.lua and call it like gradbar.

Worked like a charm Inidoro Pereyra. Thanks a bunch, Im bookmarking that conky of yours.

You're very welcome. It's a pleasure to be able to help somebody, for a change...

I am using Peachy bargraph.lua and drawing a 3 step gradient to accomplish the glass effect.
Here is bargraph.lua..

--easy compound shape drawing with gradients by mrpeachy 8/13/12

require 'cairo'

function conky_main_bars()
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)
cr = cairo_create(cs)
local updates=tonumber(conky_parse('${updates}'))
if updates>5 then
--#########################################################################################################
--[[subtab={} instructions #############################################################################
each step of the drawn shape must be in a sub table
first entry must be d="start", set x and y of start point of shape
other entried can be these types
d="line" , draws a line to set coordinates,x and y
d="rline" , draws a relative line starting at the last set point of the shape, x and y values are relative to this point
d="arc_c" , draws an clockwise arc for the set amount of degrees starting at the last set point of the shape
d="arc_a" , draws an anticlockwise arc for the set amount of degrees starting at the last set point of the shape
for arc_c and arc_a you need to set a circle quandrant where the arc will start
q=1 is the top right quarter of the circle
q=2 is the bottom right quarter
q=3 is bottom left quarter
q=4 is the top left quarter
r is the radius of the circle
degs is the number of degrees to be drawn
EG:
subtab={--start of sub path table
{d="start",x=100,y=100},
{d="rline",x=150,y=0},
{d="arc_c",q=1,r=50,degs=90},
{d="rline",x=0,y=25},
{d="rline",x=-50,y=0},
{d="rline",x=0,y=-10},
{d="arc_a",q=1,r=15,degs=90},
{d="line",x=100,y=150},
}--end of sub path table
--NOTE setting up subtab by ityself does not draw anything, subtab is then sent to the function grec in the table below

g=1         --1=vertical, 2 = horizontal, 5=angled, 0=no gradient fill in color 1, 3=outline only in color1, 4=fill col1, outline col2  (default = 1)
x=100         --default =0
y=100         --default =0
w=50         --default =50
h=100         --default =50
grad={}        --set colors, alphas and gradient positions in seperate tables within a containing table.  subtables must be seperated by commas
        --subtables contain -- {c=color,a=alpha,p=position} for position, in a vertical gradient 0 is the top, 1 is the bottom, 0.5 is half way etc -- no defaults
gan=45        --angle of gradient for g=5
lw=1        --line width for g=3 or g=4
sub=1        --draw sub path shape, 1=draw, 0=don't draw (default is 0)
db=1        --draw boundary, 1 for draw, 0 no draw (default is 0) - this can help in getting your shape positioned within the gradient rectangle correctly
subtab=subtab     --you could enter the contents of subtab directly in here but for ease of use i have set up subtab above
EG:

I will post my complete conky when finished lionhead.

i would like to use a similar bargraph together with my onliner. but unfortunately the bargraph is above the text

this is my oneliner:

at the moment i'm using both scripts this way:

#-----LUA
lua_load ~/bazinga/bazinga.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre weather
lua_load ~/v9000/oneliner.lua

lua_load ~/v9000/bargraph.lua
lua_draw_hook_post main_bars

i only use lua! i do not use additional code within the conky-config-file.

falldown · 2013-09-05 14:22:44

lionhead you could combine all of your output.. Including barograph into one config.lua file.
That's how I do all of my conkys now. I too run everything in Lua.. Seems to be less resource hungry.

Hi, i'm new here (althrough i've been reading in this topic for a while)

I'm making my first conky skin but running into trouble O:)

I'm on:
Linux mint 15 (cinnamon) 64bit
conky latest version

I want:
To get the sound volume form the system

Problem:
i now use:

amixer get Master | awk -F'[]%[]' '/%/ {if ($7 == "off") { print "mute" } else { print $2"%" }}'

the code works perfect (found it on the internet, likely it was here) but the sound percentage is not what i expected. When i see the volume in cinnamon it indicates another number, i've looked it up and this is the cause (as far as i know): http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/bug- … 03092.html (tl:dr the use a mapping that's not that common)
So... as you have probably guessed right now i want the sound volume % (mapping) that is used in cinnamon and not the "odd" one from amixer (because i'm not used to it and sometimes very different from the mapping i'm used to -> confusing situations)

Anyone got an idea?
ps: getting the sound volume from a media player is not an option because i don't want it running in the background for just getting the volume

I went to the link you provided and in response "#2 Takashi Iwai" it pretty well explains things.

Just a thought but

Basically it's like partition sizes, some apps use 1000 bytes for a GB some 1024 ... therefor some leeway is needed.
Look at gparted ... it reports GB when you look at it, but to create a partition it wants the values in MB ( @ 1024 )

Thunar tells me:
/home/sector11/TeoBigusGeekus_Conky_Weather_Scripts_10-8-13.tar.gz is 7.4MB

Thunar's custom action "HowBig" says it's: 7.1MB

iami · 2013-09-06 18:44:45

I know, but it is kinda annoying because amixer shows 30% and cinnamon 17%, 52% vs 29% ect.. the difference is big. It's not the end of the world but i can't believe there is no place where i can grab cinnamon's sound volume. (or calculate it like cinnamon does)

PackRat · 2013-09-07 01:43:39

@iami

what is the app giving you the volume in cinnamon? Check it's man page and see if it has command line options. If so, you can use those in your conky instead of amixer.

busyish

and clean...running 5 conkys

*looks proud*
kinda new to conky...copied most of the code from this forum ^^

what is the app giving you the volume in cinnamon? Check it's man page and see if it has command line options. If so, you can use those in your conky instead of amixer.

Well i've no idea, it's just the volume indicated in the taskbar (by an applet of cinnamon itself)
(i'm relatively new to linux)

check this

pacmd list-sinks | awk '/volume: 0:/ {print $3}'

THANKS! That's exactly what i was looking for, works perfect!
