How do you get specific icons in the code?

StyleBats is a font like any other font, but rather than letters it's a graphical font.

Open your word processor and try it or if you have 'GNOME Specimen' open that and look.

For example from your conky lets strip this line to the bare minimum with regards to StyleBats:

${font StyleBats:size=9.9}${color2}k${voffset -2}${font DroidSansFallback:size=8.39}

${font StyleBats:size=9.9}k

There you go: SyyleBats font the lettert k =

Each letter has a different image -->

That explains the different 'icons' as you called them - just letters in a special font.

OpenLogos, WebDings, VariShapes are a few more that are the same.

Afterthought: I seriously doubt that conky renders the font at 'size=9.9' differently than 'size=10' or if it does that our eyes would detect the difference. Just an opinion but 'size=8.39' is the same. Try those at 8 or 9 and see what it looks like.

EDIT:
Just proved myself wrong ... it is a visible difference:

^ Between 9.9 and 10 I don't see much difference, especially with that single dingbat...

Wow - you've done it again, many thanks. This is troubling me:

I've been testing the height/width. The min adjustable height I can get is:

minimum_size 255 270 ## width, height
maximum_width 255 ## width, usually a good idea to equal minimum width

If I add more text to my conkyrc I need to increase the height - so:

minimum_size 255 310 ## width, height
maximum_width 255 ## width, usually a good idea to equal minimum width

Once more:

minimum_size 255 380 ## width, height
maximum_width 255 ## width, usually a good idea to equal minimum width

This last conky is good - not too much wasted space top and bottom of the screen

However, when I add the calendar code

I get this conky:

Suddenly there is a hugh amount of empty space at the bottom of the window. I cannot find out what is causing this empty space - or how to reduce it.

You're welcome.

That huge amount of extra space is because of abusing the ${voffset} command.

It's like this, for every line under TEXT conky 'draws a screen line', even if it is a blank line.

so if you have:

TEXT
a conky command
a conky command
a conky command
a conky command
a conky command

Conky will draw five lines on the screen, now do this:

TEXT
conky command 1
                ${voffset -10}conky command 2
                                              ${voffset -10}conky command 3
                                                                             ${voffset -10}conky command 4
                                                                                                            ${voffset -10}conky command 5

so what you see is this:

conky command 1 conky command 2 conky command 3 conky command 4 conky command 5

However - conky is still drawing 4 lines below that line you see.

Another thing you need to know. the ${voffset} be it negative (moves up) or positive (moves down) works with pixels but if you have:

TEXT
${font monospace:size=25}conky command 1
                ${voffset -10}conky command 2
                                              ${font monospace:size=15}${voffset -10}conky command 3
                                                                             ${font monospace:size=5}${voffset -10}conky command 4
                                                                                                            ${voffset -10}conky command 5

You'll find it's NOT the same results since the font size changed.

I took that calendar and added it to the StyleBats test conky I did.
After some editing I have this:

Here's the code that is important:

minimum_size 240 0 ## width, height
maximum_width 240  ## width, usually a good idea to equal minimum width

TEXT
${font StyleBats:size=9.9}${color2}k${color}${font} ${font DroidSansFallback:size=8.39}${time %T}${font}
${font StyleBats:size=9}${color2}k${color}${font} ${font DroidSansFallback:size=8}${time %T}${font}
${font StyleBats:size=9.9}${color2}k${color}${font} ${font DroidSansFallback:size=8.3}${time %T}${font}
${font StyleBats:size=9.9}${color2}k${color}${font} ${font DroidSansFallback:size=8.4}${time %T}${font}
${font StyleBats:size=10}${color2}k${color}${font} ${font DroidSansFallback:size=9}${time %T}${font}
${font DroidSans:bold:size=8}${color4}DATE${offset 8}${color8}${cpubar cpu0 1,220}${font}

${font CutOutsFor3DFX:size=67}${color8}${alignc 104}2${font}
${voffset -60}${font DroidSansMono:size=7.5}${color3}${alignc 65}${time %A}${font}
${color5}${font DroidSansFallback:bold:size=18}${if_match ${time %e}<=9}${alignc 69}${time %e}${font}${else}${alignc 65}${time %e}${endif}${font}
${font DroidSansMono:size=7.5}${color3}${alignc 65}${time %B}
${alignc 65}${time %Y}${font}
${voffset -65}${font DroidSansMono:size=8}${color3}${execpi 60 VinDSL_Cal_9=`date +%-d`; cal -h | sed -e 's/\r//g' -e 's/^/              /g' -e '1d' -e 's/\<'"$VinDSL_Cal_9"'\>/${color4}&${color3}/'}${voffset -150}

Because of the ${alignc xx} values to get Friday, 6, July & 2012 centred in the box the:

minimum_size 240 0 ## width, height
maximum_width 240  ## width, usually a good idea to equal minimum width

... is a critical factor in spacing.

I cleaned up the code a bit and added a final '${voffset -150}' to bring the bottom up to the end of the visible output.

the best way to combat memory leaks is to localize as many of your variables as possible
just remember that local variables cant be "seen" outside of the function that they are in OR outside of the loop or if statement they are in
I would not call an if statement a loop since it does not repeat the command multiple times.
Just to be sure, you only have to use "local" when you create the variable not when you assign a new value to it correct?
So in this example the first "print" would print "1" the second would print "2" and the third would cause a nil value error.
function test()
   local a = 1
   print(a)
   a = 2
   print(a)
end
print(a)
i would differentiate ifs and loops also
in the code example above you would need to localize both instances as the second instance of "a" will overwrite the first, but will be a global variable
edit - to answer your question more specifically... the print command outside of the function would print "2" , the value of the string "a" as set in the second instance

I got power back yesterday and I tested this and it worked the way I though it would.
Here is better example than the one above and it's corresponding output.

function conky_main()
   test2()
end

function test2()
   local a = 1
   print(a)
   a = 2
   print(a)
   test()
end

function test()
    print(a) --# causes all nil other than first
end

print(a) --# causes first nil only

Output

nil
1
2
nil
1
2
nil

Hey folks,

Been getting more and more into conky and I'm having issues with a new display that I'm trying to work with. Whenever I start it via terminal, regardless of where I have it aligned to, the top is always cut off. The "No fortunes found" error is expected as I haven't set that yet.

PunBB bbcode test

Right now I have the alignment set to bottom_right so that it's more visible but it would normally be set to top_right. Interesting note, where it gets cut off it right where the screen ends, not sure if that would have any bearing on it or not.

This:

${voffset -64}

is pulling everything up out the top of your conky window.

If I may make a suggestion:

1. Strip your conky the elements that are not working yet. ie: the two bash scripts
2. concentrate on formatting the date and the horizontal line you have ...
3. once those are done, bring in the bash scripts.

I am confused about something. Surprise surprise. I need to put the outputs of Home, Ram ect in my rings. And I am not sure how the best way to do it. I could do it in conky with {goto } and {voffset } but that wouldn't be right. I know there is a way to do it in lua and that would be the right way to do it, but I can't figure it out. I have read thru the lua tutorial but It left me scratching my head.

Been getting more and more into conky and I'm having issues with a new display that I'm trying to work with. Whenever I start it via terminal, regardless of where I have it aligned to, the top is always cut off. The "No fortunes found" error is expected as I haven't set that yet.
Right now I have the alignment set to bottom_right so that it's more visible but it would normally be set to top_right. Interesting note, where it gets cut off it right where the screen ends, not sure if that would have any bearing on it or not.

${voffset -32}${font Sahara:italic:size=15}${goto 280}${color E0EBF1}${execi 30 fortune fran}

${voffset} object not only prints text in desired offset but also sets cursor position from which next printed text is counted.
So lets do the math.
First you set font to 8px hight.
Then you draw 3 lines in Conky normally and add 5px to it with ${voffset 5} - it gives you 3 lines by 8px = 24px + 5px = 29px.
Then you add next line output ( +8px = 37px cursor position) and ${voffset -64} is illegal so it sets cursor at 8px position (still 8px font, remember?). There you print 18px and 40px text. 10px and 32px of it will print above Conky window.
So next line with 40px font size (+40px = 48px cursor position) you move cursor to ${voffset -50} which is illegal and set cursor at 40px (still 40px font, remember?), where you print with 24px and 16px with font size which prints normally (and adds ${voffset 4} to the cursor position = 44px).
Then next line (+16px = 60px cursor, font 16px from previous line) you go -32px (${voffset -32}) = 28px cursor position where you print with 15px font size (should be normally visible)

So there you have your "cut off".

PS: I've forgot to give you some advice for voffseting.
Set your default font to 10px size (xftfont 123:size=10) - it will come in handy when voffseting as every new line could be set 10px belove previous one. But to complete that you need to end your every line with ${font} object which reset font settings to default.
That way it's easier to comprehend where text cursor actually is "right now".

oil & water
lua & sector11

What can I say. I can edit them, manipulate them - can't create one worth a dime!

OK - I have a new look:

Desktop 1 of 2 · · · · Desktop 2 of 2 - really busy!

If you are interested in one of the conkys just let me know.

sqlpython asked here they are: Conky-10.tar.gz
Take note: 5.13MB it has everything found here: 2086 - I think!!!!

Even changed my tint2.

Extremely well said! Best explanation I have seen to date about ${voffset} and it's pitfalls.

Thank you.

Thanks. It'll probably last a long time, I don't change things that often.
I like all those conkys and still running between 1 & 4% CPU Average.

Just updating my necro post #2045 4 days and 30 posts ago..

if anyone had any solution ideas they weren't talking.
So, after some banging my head against the wall I fixed my two issues which were... both on Xfce4 desktops...

#1...Transparent in Wheezy BUT the Processes displayed (Last 8 lines) ghost over the previous 8 proceses as they up date in the bottom of the Conky display..
#2...Sid Black Background won't go transparent except by CLI command..

Turned out not to be particular to my Conkyrc in the final repair, anyway..
