Thanks for your kind words Jed. Are you by any chance using Conky 1.8.1.6? If so, see here.
If not, just ignore it; it will straighten up after the first conky interval.

No, he using same as I am: v1.9.0-2

TeoBigusGeekus · 2013-01-10 21:14:13

No idea then (I see that he's also using texeci in the conkyrc call).
Yep, confirmed: I've witnessed this behaviour as well.
I don't think it's a big deal, unless you have an extremely long conky interval.

Conky interval is set to 1. I was assuming this meant one second? However the image doesn't update. Should I not be using the texeci? I love the imagery better than any other weather script I've used. Like S11, I have it set up so that I can just click on the clock in my Tint2 panel to close Conky, then right click it to get it restarted. Just thought it might be a simple fix... Still the best weather script, hands down, that I've ever used. (and I've used three other well known weather scripts, no offense to them intended!)

TeoBigusGeekus · 2013-01-11 18:19:15

Ah, found it...
You've forgotten to include the

imlib_cache_size 0

directive in your conkyrc (before the TEXT part).
Without it, conky stores images as cache and doesn't update them.

:8 Doh!!!! Thanks Teo! I feel pretty silly! Can't believe I didn't pick that up on my own. Appreciate it very much sir! Your a scholar and a gentleman!

TeoBigusGeekus · 2013-01-11 22:35:58

Thank you kind sir!!!

Teo's scripts are GREAT! And I still use the other well known scripts.

I'm a pusher - I recommend them all and support them all; with examples.

Thanks a lot mate. I've added a link in the first page.

Doruletz · 2013-01-15 14:50:15

My Thanks to TeoBigus and Sector11, keep up the good work guys.

I managed to fix my HTC type Conky, it's complete again, see snapshots:

The one on the left it's AccuWeather based, the other two are Weather.com based, see in more detail here:

If anyone likes them, I can post the whole conky.rc and complete file.

Thanks, again.

Oh yes, please!!! These are awesome!

ANNOUNCEMENT
Script 1a now covers USA users as well. The latter are now able to have a 9 days forecast on their conky. Script 1b deprecated.

Doruletz · 2013-01-17 05:05:12

OK, can someone tell me how to upload files here???
Or a place where I can upload them and post a link for download???
I mean I can copy/paste the conky.rc, but without the rest it won't help....
I'm gonna try Gnome-look.org to see if I can post them there, and get back to you guys soon...

**********************************
EDIT:
Hey, I forgot the ".fonts" folder in my upload, corrected that now, for the thermometer in front of the current temperature you need weather fonts and for the digits on the HTC clock you need helvetica fonts, you guys can re-download if you are missing them.
**********************************
Thanks a lot for the like, Die Hard, here are the downloads.
Enjoy!

For Die Hard and TeoBigusGeekus:
(Also for everybody else that might want them)

OK guys, here it is, you can get it now from Gnome-look.org

http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=156485

Or get it on Deviant Art website, here:

Excellent job mate!!! Thanks for posting it here.
Just subscribe to the thread and you'll be able to follow whatever changes Accuweather and Weather.com will pull up in their vain effort to get rid of me.

Hey guys, let me ask you something...

As I hate Gnome 3 and Unity with a passion, I'm trying to find something recent, based on or fairly close to the glorious Gnome 2.
So far I've been using Linux Mint 9 Isadora, but support will drop come April....
What's the deal with this CrunchBang???
Can it be customized to look and act like Gnome 2?
I've seen it has OpenBox, I never used that, so what can you tell me about it???
Here's how my Linux Mint 9 Isadora, Gnome 2 looks:

It has Cairo Dock, Panels with quick launch icons, menus and other stuff, Screenlets and a nice looking Conky

OFFTOPIC
This is really the wrong place for this but if I may continue.

OpenBox is not a "Desktop" it is a "Window Manager" and 100% configurable. #! comes with tint2 as it's panel, again highly configurable.

Download #! and run it from the Live CD. I started with GNOME (2007 - 2008) went to XFCE (2008 - 2009) and then in 2009 I installed #! with OpenBox. Been using OB since. As I was told during my Xfce days "Once you go to a *box window manager there's no going back", maybe not true for everyone, but it is with me.

Below is a screenshot with one of Teo's weather scripts in action, my OB setup and my normal tint2 on the bottom. That's the "launcher" on the left.

with one click of my mouse tint2 changes, notice no launcher bar on the left:

... but there it is hidden on the left side ... see insert - pops out with mouse over.

Lets get back ONTOPIC ...

Thanks for your scripts....

Now here's Teo with today's weather:

Teo is on summer holidays at the moment, I'm his replacement, Thunder Struck.
Today will be light and tonight dark.

True, true. See here for some more info on Openbox.

I'm glad you agree. How could I have forgotten the Arch OB Wiki page, I have it linked here and refer to it often, it's....

Say what? Weather? Yes we had some today. Why do you ask?

Thanks for the reply Sector11.
I know I'm off topic...
That looks kinda plain, I like my desktop both flashy and useful, with panel quick launchers for programs, cairo dock, screenlets, etc.
So far, the only thing that even comes close to Gnome2 is MATE desktop, used in Linux Mint 13 & 14 with Gnome3.
It is however not the same as Gnome2 was...

I will try OpenBox, just to see how I like it.

Everyone has their tastes ... I like a clean desktop. I put a wallpaper up I want to see the wallpaper, not a mosaic of it.
Good luck on your search.
