Hmmmmmmmm maybe something like Mark did before conky could use images - a python app - check the image: Desktop Info App With Html Support (gtk-desktop-info)
It was actually quite neat and even looked like a conky - but with images. It was setup so as to use any of his conkyXXXXX.py scripts.

Intro
gtk-desktop-info is a python tool to display various pieces of information directly on the desktop, using plugins for html rendering, with html templates and css style sheets for formatting.
The application has been created off the back of existing python scripts used with Conky. The reason for it's creation is a simple one, Conky is great but formatting can suck sometimes...html seemed the obvious choice of formatting giving the user the ability to construct output in a variety of styles based on understood techniques.
Sadly he is no longer in the Linux world. His new company which involves programming in Windows has stolen him from us.

Yes, a lot like that but with the ability to use more than just python. I did a bzr checkout of the source and I'll be having a look through that for ideas, thanks. There are several major differences between what I want to do and that. The output won't be formatted html though I wouldn't discount that eventuality. I won't be coding in gtk or qt, python, tcl/tk, wxwindows, fox, or any other dependent addon library. We're after as close to X as we can get so as to not have to hack in workarounds for different desktops and window managers as well as not having dependencies the user has to install other than the toolkits and libraries they already have or want to use, that means C. I told you this wasn't going to be easy, and I might add, be done very fast. I'm after the X window system itself, below all other windows. I know it's ambitious but so was gtk when the gimp folks wrote it. Maybe a toolkit for drawing just on the root window? The X windows source is rather complicated but who knows.

Just trying to brainstorm a bit ... there is so precious little I can help with but ideas are ideas.

No, don't get me wrong, I plan on looking at that code most definately. Trust me when I say you've been a huge help not only to me but many others here as well. I know I'm rather new to the forum but I've gleaned many an idea before my join date. I think everyone does this. I don't code in python because, in my opinion, python broke with v3 and I've always hated the strict whitespace rules. Half of the things that I try that are coded in python won't even run for me. I could probably fix that but I shouldn't have to.

Kind of related is how I think lua is also broken by not being what I would consider complete. And to make this post even better for me. I've finally worked out the last of the bugs in the clock I've been working on. Well, the bugs I know about anyway. Slight edit: I did notice that the word clock is about a second off of the hands but I just noticed that. It's not my code so I'll see if I can figure out why it's doing that. It really shouldn't be since it's using the same os.date functions as the hands. Odd. Have a go at configuring it and seeing if anything breaks. I've put the code here but if you want the font that I used just click the pic and download the 7z at deviantart (link's on the right), the font is in the .conky folder.

--[[DO NOT SET session.screen0.opaqueMove: false IN FLUXBOX.  The reason for this
is that it's the way Fluxbox manages the window drawing when moving windows with
opaque off and is part of Fluxbox and not a bug with conky, lua, cairo or this
script.  If you want this changed, you have to bug them and not me.  Anyway...

I don't think any compositor is going to be an issue as the drawing is going to be at the root and as far as I know all compositors sit above that layer and work on the children. I could be wrong about this and may be horribly so when it comes to kde. From what I've read, they do things so differently the only way to detect the window is by size if the comments in the code are still valid. I'll have to look into this deeper because things may or may not have changed. I haven't even looked at wayland yet because I've not seen it in the wild.
First thing I'm going to look at is detection of the root window and basic drawing. Once I have that code cleaned up and properly doing garbage collection I'll have a look at compositing. Probably going to need some testers for that.

I'm not a programmer, but IMO implementing your own mini WM into program and not using toolkits for that is a mistake.
You say compositor should be not a problem? New GNOME draw background images not to root window but to layer above, so Conky without compositor interface isn't transparent, but because it uses it's own code to draw everything, it's compositor interface is buggy and imlib2 images are semi transparent too with "argb_visuals".

I thought that if you use some high layer toolkit code (gtk, Qt, ...), you could make window for drawing that would be independent from graphics system and work same whatever it run in X11 or Wyland environment.

PS: XWindow will be obsolete in 2-3 years. I plan to hop to Wayland as soon as KDE will be running it natively. Or maybe will try to live without DE but with Wayland for sure. I don't plan to use program that draw to XWindow root window. I don't plan to use XWindow at all.

Hey guys!

I'm just getting into conky(And loving it!), but I've run into a snag. For some reason, I can't seem to get a todo list running on my desktop, even though it seems like such a simple code. I just seem to not be getting it

Any help would be appreciated greatly!

I'm not a programmer, but IMO implementing your own mini WM into program and not using toolkits for that is a mistake.

I didn't say I was iimplementing a mini WM, I said drawing straight to X without using anybody's toolkit.

You say compositor should be not a problem? New GNOME draw background images not to root window but to layer above, so Conky without compositor interface isn't transparent, but because it uses it's own code to draw everything, it's compositor interface is buggy and imlib2 images are semi transparent too with "argb_visuals".

This is why I was looking at root-tail's code. Here's an excerpt from the beginning as a comment by the dev:

/* Since xpenguins version 2.1, the ToonGetRootWindow() function
 * attempts to find the window IDs of
 *
 * 1) The background window that is behind the toplevel client
 *    windows; this is the window that we draw the toons on.
 *
 * 2) The parent window of the toplevel client windows; this is used
 *    by ToonLocateWindows() to build up a map of the space that the
 *    toons can occupy.
 * 
 * In simple (sensible?) window managers (e.g. blackbox, sawfish, fvwm
 * and countless others), both of these are the root window. The other
 * more complex scenarios that ToonGetRootWindow() attempts to cope
 * with are:
 *
 * Some `virtual' window managers (e.g. amiwm, swm and tvtwm) that
 * reparent all client windows to a desktop window that sits on top of
 * the root window. This desktop window is easy to find - we just look
 * for a property __SWM_VROOT in the immediate children of the root
 * window that contains the window ID of this desktop window. The
 * desktop plays both roles (1 and 2 above). This functionality was
 * detected in xpenguins 1.x with the vroot.h header file.
 *
 * Enlightenment (0.16) can have a number of desktops with different
 * backgrounds; client windows on these are reparented, except for
 * Desktop 0 which is the root window. Therefore versions less than
 * 2.1 of xpenguins worked on Desktop 0 but not on any others. To fix
 * this we look for a root-window property _WIN_WORKSPACE which
 * contains the numerical index of the currently active desktop. The
 * active desktop is then simply the immediate child of the root
 * window that has a property ENLIGHTENMENT_DESKTOP set to this value.
 *
 * KDE 2.0: Oh dear. The kdesktop is a program separate from the
 * window manager that launches a window which sits behind all the
 * other client windows and has all the icons on it. Thus the other
 * client windows are still children of the root window, but we want
 * to draw to the uppermost window of the kdesktop. This is difficult
 * to find - it is the great-great-grandchild of the root window and
 * in KDE 2.0 has nothing to identify it from its siblings other than
 * its size. KDE 2.1+ usefully implements the __SWM_VROOT property in
 * a child of the root window, but the client windows are still
 * children of the root window. A problem is that the penguins erase
 * the desktop icons when they walk which is a bit messy. The icons
 * are not lost - they reappear when the desktop window gets an expose
 * event (i.e. move some windows over where they were and back again).
 *
 * Nautilus (GNOME 1.4+): Creates a background window to draw icons
 * on, but does not reparent the client windows. The toplevel window
 * of the desktop is indicated by the root window property
 * NAUTILUS_DESKTOP_WINDOW_ID, but then we must descend down the tree
 * from this toplevel window looking for subwindows that are the same
 * size as the screen. The bottom one is the one to draw to. Hopefully
 * one day Nautilus will implement __SWM_VROOT in exactly the same way
 * as KDE 2.1+.
 *
 * Other cases: CDE, the common desktop environment. This is a
 * commercial product that has been packaged with Sun (and other)
 * workstations. It typically implements four virtual desktops but
 * provides NO properties at all for apps such as xpenguins to use to
 * work out where to draw to. Seeing as Sun are moving over to GNOME,
 * CDE use is on the decline so I don't have any current plans to try
 * and get xpenguins to work with it.
 *
 * As a note to developers of window managers and big screen hoggers
 * like kdesktop, please visit www.freedesktop.org and implement their
 * Extended Window Manager Hints spec that help pagers and apps like
 * xpenguins and xearth to find their way around. In particular,
 * please use the _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP and _NET_VIRTUAL_ROOTS
 * properties if you reparent any windows (e.g. Enlightenment). Since
 * no window managers that I know yet use these particular hints, I
 * haven't yet added any code to parse them.  */

I thought that if you use some high layer toolkit code (gtk, Qt, ...), you could make window for drawing that would be independent from graphics system and work same whatever it run in X11 or Wayland environment.

A toolkit is by its nature a drawing system that sits above the root layer. Not necessarily so, but still, that's what they're designed to do.

PS: XWindow will be obsolete in 2-3 years. I plan to hop to Wayland as soon as KDE will be running it natively. Or maybe will try to live without DE but with Wayland for sure. I don't plan to use program that draw to XWindow root window. I don't plan to use XWindow at all.

This is the one I'll jump in on the most. People have been saying X is obsolete for a long time. Remember the fork fiasco? I agree that what Wayland is would be wonderful but:

KDE has never listened to it's users
Gnome has never listened to it's users
Most distros have never listened to their users

I seriously doubt that things will go as wonderfully as you hope and I imagine that the first adopters will find bugs that will make downgrades, or concurrent systems, very popular topics that will get scraped by google. I've been listening to the talk of "Gnome and/or KDE is going to eliminate the competition with their new version" for ten years. What happened? The devs made choices that not only broke things but broke them so horribly that it forced users to discover the possibilities of window managers vs. desktops. Fluxbox, Openbox, Blackbox, FVWM, Sawfish, WindowMaker, Enlightenment, which do I choose? Linux has, over the last ten years, moved away from what it started as to just another vehicle for advertisement. I'll bet money that Ubuntu had paid devs sitting in both KDE and Gnome development and I'll bet they won't listen to you or me.[/rant]

If and when Wayland becomes a viable choice and if I can actually develop and implement this program, I will port it accordingly. Personally I'd like to see it become a reality as well. Having said that, I'll get the source and have a look to see what kinds of differences I'll be facing. The one thing I don't want to do is have to support multiple versions. Wayland and Weston are already in extra and community for arch so I could probably play with it now.

Slight edit from Wayland:

Why duplicate all this work?
Wayland is not really duplicating much work. Where possible, Wayland reuses existing drivers and infrastructure. One of the reasons this project is feasible at all is that Wayland reuses the DRI drivers, the kernel side GEM scheduler and kernel mode setting. Wayland doesn't have to compete with other projects for drivers and driver developers, it lives within the X.org, mesa and drm community and benefits from all the hardware enablement and driver development happening there.
What is the drawing API?
"Whatever you want it to be, honey". Wayland doesn't render on behalf of the clients, it expects the clients to use whatever means they prefer to render into a shareable buffer. When the client is done, it informs the Wayland server of the new contents. The current test clients use either cairo software rendering, cairo on OpenGL or hardware accelerated OpenGL directly. As long as you have a userspace driver library that will let you render into a sharable buffer, you're good to go.

@ Martinlowe & Naik

First off ... Welcome to #! Martinlowe.

next ... as naik said ...

try telling conky what to do with your *.txt file

Recently, in this form I believe, it was pointed out to me that 'cat' can be eliminated in situations like this. Can't remember who or I'd give credit for the tip.

man pages suggest why:

cat - concatenate files and print on the standard output
head - output the first part of files
tail - output the last part of files

so I stopped using cat and use:

${execi 3600 head /media/5/Conky/Days/all.txt -n 31}

since I'm not really 'joining' (concatenate) files.

@ Naik - did you mean | fold -w40 ?
However it's a good idea, maybe with an -s in there to brake at spaces and not in the middle of words. :D

I keep my text less than the dashed lines and the file no longer than 31 lines. :D

No, don't get me wrong, I plan on looking at that code most definately.

Never entered my mind ... I don't know python but I have read where it is 'crazy' about spacing.

I guess if anything I'd look at getting into bash ... I have so many of them and at least I can tweak some of them.

I think all languages, whether compiled or scripted, should ignore whitespace unless explicitly told not to with the exception of quoted strings. Bash is always useful for getting things done. There are very few programs that don't have a command line interface. Those that don't have a graphical equivalent are usually the most useful and powerful.

While I was sitting here typing I had a thought about what ragamatrix just posted and bash scripting. Wouldn't it be cool to do the same thing not with a slideshow and images but with a movie. I'm working out a lua/cairo wordclock right now but might have a go at it and see what might be done, after all, mplayer and vlc both have non-graphical interfaces. Makes me wonder if the flashplugin could be made to behave in this manner for youtube videos and such. These are the things I think about that could be made to "plug in" to the program I've been talking about coding.

Conky Anonymous

Step 1 - Admitted that we were powerless over conky - and love it!

Desktop 1, 2 & 3 - My general area of work.

#3 is usually empty, but there are a couple of conkys there under development.

Desktop #4 - my wife's area, with her weather open in a window:

That's it normally ... today I opened Desktops 5, 6 & 7 and put the conkys in there that I have an OB menu entry to start.

There are a 'few' more but ... ... ...

Hi All:

I have this line:
${if_up enp0s25}${color yellow}enp0s25 $color${addrs enp0s25}
and it outputs this:
enp0s25 192.168.111.199, 10.3.36.217

What I want to do is:
Remove the comma,
line feed and insert 8 spaces before the "10.3.36.217" address.

Any tips on how that might be done?

Cheers,
John

Can you post the whole conkyrc? Yes, I also have a net named enp, mine is just enp3s0.

Ok, first off, it makes it easier to read if you put it in code tags. I'm also assuming that you aren't running an 8 core system because you have core0 through core3 twice. Did you get this from somewhere and are trying to adapt it to your computer? All the spacing is really messed up for me. I think the whitespace got messed up when you posted this without code tags. Conky loves its whitespace and you have to be careful with it. Sector11, want to have a go at this one? I've never even used IP tunnelling so I can't help you with that bit. The alignment is all off for me, can you post a screenshot of how it looks on your system. I feel like I'm looking at a green hornet comic.

[JS] Not sure what that has to do with splitting the output of addrs, but ok.

I'm also assuming that you aren't running an 8 core system because you have core0 through core3 twice.
[JS] Not sure what that has to do with splitting the output of addrs, but ok. As you know, (well, maybe you don't) a virtual core has the same temperature as the physical core it comes from. Is that enough of an explanation? Its an i7.

Did you get this from somewhere and are trying to adapt it to your computer?
[JS] what's the difference? I wrote it from scratch based on the default profile after I emerged conky...but again, what the hell does that have to do with splitting the addrs output?

All the spacing is really messed up for me.
[JS] Its isn't for me. But again, what does this have to do with splitting the output of addrs?

I think the whitespace got messed up when you posted this without code tags.
[JS] that that helps us figure out the splitting of the output of addrs how?

Conky loves its whitespace and you have to be careful with it.
[JS] I don't remember asking about that, but ok.

Sector11, want to have a go at this one? I've never even used IP tunnelling so I can't help you with that bit.
[JS] IP tunneling? What are you talking about? I asked how to split the output from the addrs object and you're all over the place about formatting, code tags, tunneling.... Who said anything about tunneling? I have an interface with more than one IP address and I want to split the output from the object addrs. You've written gobs of stuff that have NOTHING to do with what I asked.

The alignment is all off for me, can you post a screenshot of how it looks on your system. I feel like I'm looking at a green hornet comic.
[JS] You feel like you're looking at a green hornet comic? WHO CARES? Not to seem cold or anything but I didn't get on to this forum to find out how you felt.

Once again, with feeling, this is my question:
I'm doing this:
${addrs enp0s25},
its spits out the answer like this:
192.168.111.199, 10.3.36.217

I would like to replace the comma and the space with a new line a few more spaces. Does anyone know how to do that?

Because I can't see what your seeing because your formatting is messed up with the way you posted your code.

Don't be condescending, that won't get you help. You're not going to get a different temp from a virtual core than a real core because the virtual thermistor hasn't been invented yet. I code embedded for fun.

If you wrote it, you should understand it.

Because I'm not getting the two IP addresses you are.

You really are going down a path to nowhere for help with this kind of stuff. I was just trying to have a conversation to get friendly and help you with this.

You might get more help if you were less of a jerk. Perhaps my sense of humor displeases you.

And just for your FYI, this is how it looks on my system. I'll let others help you with this one, I don't like you. You seem to think the world owes you something for some odd reason.

seconding...
Anyways, as far as i know, you won`t be able to work at a conky object (like $addrs) directly.
go ahead, grep the information elswhere and do what you want with it in an externel script which you can call inside conky afterwards.

The world doesn't owe me anything but coding style, the numbers of cores I have, white spaces, where i got the config is immaterial to my question.
You can't see the second interface for several reasons:
1. If you don't have 2 IPs assigned to your NIC, you won't see two IPS,
2. If your NIC is not named enp0s25, you won't see anything,
3. If you you have 2 IPs assigned to your NIC and you have edited the code so that it will show your NIC, whatever its name is, then you won't see the second NIC's IP because its cutoff by this, "maximum_width 162". If you want to see the second IP, you need to set that to 300 or so. I don't want to do that because then half the data is behind my Windows 7 VM. That is why I want to know how to insert the line feed and keep conky inside 162 pixels.

I know I could script something to parse the "ip addr show dev enp0s25" output but I'd rather keep things inside conky to try and minimize CPU load. In the end I may have to do that if there is no way to parse the output from ${addrs enp0s25}.

The tap0 interface is used for connecting my VM to virtual Ethernet switch which is masqueraded with iptables to my main interface.

Make sense?

Conky object are Conky objects and you can't format them as you please. You can change font style or start point of printing but that's it. Nothing else can be done inside Conky - that's why scripting for Conky and LUA come to life.
Bare Conky is...
I'm using inside Conky object for simple temperatures display only, rest in LUA or BASH.

A small update to the clock script. It now has hour ticks and second/minute ticks. It's kind of hard to see in the image but I didn't want to post anything larger. I'm working on the word clock part of it to make it more versatile and also split it off from the graphical clock. You can easily rip out the desktop indicator instead of turning it off if you want. I like knowing where I am in the scheme of things though. As usual the picture is the link to the whole thing including the font I used for it.

How does all that affect your cpu and memory usage? That's the one thing I'm always trying to be mindful of with my code. I still feel like the clock uses more than it should but I've managed to keep it between 2-3% cpu and it generally stays at 0.7% in the ram area.

Sector11, want to have a go at this one?

I would if I could but I can't so I won't ... I'm sitting here with just an old fashioned "eth0" and haven't a clue what that other stuff is.

Besides:

Agree with Naik.

EDIT: ^ Really NICE clock!
