Re: Conky v1.10 Thread

This old line stopped working at all (before and after converting the conky to the new format).

${if_running mocp}${alignc}${exec mocp -Q %song}   ${exec mocp -Q %artist}   ${exec mocp -Q %album}   ${exec mocp -Q %ct}   ${exec mocp -Q %tt}${else}${endif}

I'm on Sid and having conky 1.10. I haven't used moc in a while but I'm using it a lot again. It would be great having this conky working. No idea if it's due to moc or conky. Any ideas to try?

Re: Conky v1.10 Thread

Thanks. I've increased/slowed the update interval significantly just in case and nothing changed... It never displays. Might be the if_running issue.

Re: Conky v1.10 Thread

Doubt it too, but hey worth the shot. If no one responds i will try the sanity check solution  and hope it doesn't break something.

@arclance:

Thanks for the info. I'll check the workaround.

@Head_on_a_Stick:

It works nicely this way! Thanks again.

Re: Conky v1.10 Thread

Is there any way to pass/read the value of the conky variable color0 ect out in Lua?

Re: Conky v1.10 Thread

^ I don't believe so.
You can create a global variable in your Lua script to store the color you use for color0 and just call that variable every time you want to use that color.
I can post an example when I get home from work if you need one.

Re: Conky v1.10 Thread

No i'm fine, thanks anyway.

Thing is i use many conkies ~9 and it's annoying i have to change the color in all of them, including the lua files if i want to change the appearance. All my skins use the same color0, color1, ... ect and i thought maybe if lua can read them out instead of hardcoding them it could save me some work.
Currently i'm passing it as a parameter to lua, since a few line above the lua call are the color variables so copy pasting the values is easy

And i'm too lazy to make a color changing script

Re: Conky v1.10 Thread

^ You can read the values from a single text file into your Lua script periodically but it is only worth doing that if you change the colors very often (more than once a day?).
If you don't change them very often it would be less work to just change the scripts manually.

Re: Conky v1.10 Thread

Not worth the trouble atm but i will keep it in mind though, might come in handy some time. Thanks

(it is more for other people when i publish my conky configs who might want another color as i'm using)
