interactive conky

mrpeachy · 2012-04-07 23:10:38

i think grouping sounds a little complicated

here is the current state of things

in the first column (leftmost) is the panel with launcher open and lots of windows open
there are too many windows to fit so the scroll button shows (1/2)
click the scroll button and you are taken to view (2/2) as in the third column

the second column shows the launcher closed up, so that now all my windows will fit ( SCROLL (1/1) )

column 4 is the same as 1 but you can see the change in the appearance indicating the active window
also list select button 3 has been clicked

you can also see where im putting some general info down at the bottom

^ This is really cool Peachy!!

It seems that grouping windows with the same titles would be simple, but that just shows how little I know about lua and coding in general.

@mrpeachy
I don't know lua well enough to separate the button code from all the other things your scripts do myself.
Do you have a simple version of your interactive script posted somewhere?
Hopefully something with only one or two buttons that don't do anything too complicated.

try this setup
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19008369/intera … ton.tar.gz

extract so the test_button folder is in your home directory then use the conkyrc "conky_buttons" to launch

gives you an on/off button and an "execute" buttons

Ok Peachy I finally got my randr and xinerama sorted out.
I'm messing around with the Window_List script.

Thanks I will look at it tommorow when I have more free time.

This is giving me ideas.

deadbeef --help
starting deadbeef devel
Usage: deadbeef [options] [--] [file(s)]
Options:
--help or -h Print help (this message) and exit
--quit Quit player
--version Print version info and exit
--play Start playback
--stop Stop playback
--pause Pause playback
--toggle-pause Toggle pause
--play-pause Start playback if stopped, toggle pause otherwise
--next Next song in playlist
--prev Previous song in playlist
--random Random song in playlist
--queue Append file(s) to existing playlist
--gui PLUGIN Tells which GUI plugin to use, default is "GTK2"
--nowplaying FMT Print formatted track name to stdout
FMT %-syntax: [a]rtist, [t]itle, al[ b]um,
[l]ength, track[n]umber, [y]ear, [c]omment,
copy[r]ight, [e]lapsed
e.g.: --nowplaying "%a - %t" should print "artist - title"
for more info, see http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/d … Formatting

I am going to add controls to the bottom of this.

i think im getting close to having something usable
been working on consolidating the settings at the top of the script
removing uneccessary code lines and getting everything running as optimally as i know how

still have a couple of things to work out
but i should be able to post some "alpha" code soon

falldown · 2012-04-09 01:37:44

Thats good cause I'm actually looking for things to do... like upgrading one of my installs to sid!!.. and reading entire threads.. from other distros that I haven't even tried..

I tried it and mouseover works but I can not click on the buttons.

Here is the conky -D output.

@ arclance
are you running the conkyrc that was in the archive?

go to your tmp folder and see if the file xdo was created

also in the main script, click_test.lua
put in a test line like this towards the end line 147

--click calculations #################################
local f=io.open("/tmp/xdo")
click=f:read()
f:close()
print (click)

and watch the terminal

in the conkyrc

make it like this

TEXT
${lua record}${lua main}

the launch the conky and click inside the window and check the xdo file again

/tmp/xdo now contains

Usage: xdotool search [options] regexp_pattern
 --class         check regexp_pattern agains the window class
 --maxdepth N    set search depth to N. Default is infinite.
 --name          check regexp_pattern agains the window name
 --onlyvisible   matches only windows currently visible
 --pid PID       only show windows belonging to specific process
                 Not supported by all X11 applications --screen N      only search a specific screen. Default is all screens
 --title         check regexp_pattern agains the window title
                 -1 also means infinite.
 -h, --help      show this help output

* If none of --title, --class, and --name are specified,
the defaults are to match any of them.

and the conky terminal output now has this in it

Usage: xdotool search [options] regexp_pattern

mrpeachy · 2012-04-09 17:18:27

ah... what version of xdotool are you using?

xdotool -v

it has to be an recent version, like this xdotool version 2.20110530.1

many repos only have an old version so you will have to install via the debs
as found on the first post of this thread

Yes that was the problem I must have forgotten to add unstable to my sources when I installed xdotool.

I got the control buttons for Deadbeef working but they are being rendered under the shading image I am using.

Any ideas on how to fix that?

I have the buttons running in a second conky by themselves for testing.

Here are the files that I am using to make the buttons, I did no make any changes to the other files.

you mentioned 2 conkies?

the way you have it set up in the one you posted seems like it should work
ie by having the lua files run AFTER the background is drawn by the ${image} command

is the other conky drawing a background also that might be getting in front of the lua script?

there are some things you could do
make the background part of the lua script, it really easy to draw a semi transparent rectangle with a given color in lua, draw it before anything else and it will go to the background

or i can give you a lua function for displaying images, which you could use instead of the conkyrc method
again, call that first to load the image and the text will be drawn above

check on that other conky first however

I already checked if the other conky was the problem by putting the buttons somewhere else on screen and it did not change anything.

The shading image is generated every time my random background script runs (to change the color and transparency of the image) so let's try displaying the image with lua.

here is the function

put this into the main script outside of the main function (probably best to put it underneath like all the other functions)

function image(im)--#################################################################
x=nil
x=(im.x or 0)
y=nil
y=(im.y or 0)
w=nil
w=(im.w or default_image_width)
h=nil
h=(im.h or default_image_height)
file=nil
file=tostring(im.file)
if file==nil then print("set image file") end
---------------------------------------------
local show = imlib_load_image(file)
if show == nil then return end
imlib_context_set_image(show)
if tonumber(w)==0 then 
width=imlib_image_get_width() 
else
width=tonumber(w)
end
if tonumber(h)==0 then 
height=imlib_image_get_height() 
else
height=tonumber(h)
end
imlib_context_set_image(show)
local scaled=imlib_create_cropped_scaled_image(0, 0, imlib_image_get_width(), imlib_image_get_height(), width, height)
imlib_free_image()
imlib_context_set_image(scaled)
imlib_render_image_on_drawable(x, y)
imlib_free_image()
show=nil
end--function image #################################################################

then in the main function call it like this (before the buttons)

image({x=0,y=0,w=300,h=500,file="/media/Linux_Data/bin/Conky/dynamic_background.png"})

adjust setting to match

That works but you forgot about adding

require 'imlib2'

And you'd be right too. You and falldown lost me a long time ago with this interactive stuff.

You are doing GREAT stuff. Believe it! This isn't Ripley's there is no "Or Not!"

if you want to give my panel a go here is the archive
extrat to your home/username folder
and run with the provided conkyrc (conky_launch)

see later post for fixed archive

and here it is with a bit of additional setup
