Conky Support, Codes and Screenshots

@ jedi

Thanks!!! Some fun for a lazying sunday evening. I will steal the satellite part only, but will keep the whole thing in my conky code collection. (Apologies for that, VastOne    )

This is my top horizontal version of VastOne's default Conky;

Requested from Google+ by Yannik W. in regards to this scrot...

[VastOne]

^ Jedi, what is that GMB widget you are using in that one?

I like it but do not recognize it.. it is similar to the Taped Paper but different

Edit - I took a closer look and realized it is one of mine... One of the Thin layouts

I am getting too old for this shit!

[jedi]

hehe, VastOne's Thin Layout II   
glad you like it!!!   

[Snap]

Got conky updated today (1.10.0). Got a warning about the new lua format used. I hardly ever use lua, so no concerns at first instance, but now conky shows like a regular window. The suggested doc /usr/share/doc/conky-all/conky.conf doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions to get back to a transparent borderless conky stuck to the background?

## For OpenBox
own_window yes
##own_window_type desktop

own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorate,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below

I added this to my conky a while ago when I was living in OpenBox and Crunchbang, (Other WMs and DEs sometimes need different settings) It always worked for me in fluxbox until this update.

[VastOne]

I got the same update yet I have not seen any changes ...

These are my settings which are exactly what the default in VSIDO are, you might want to see what Jedi thinks of this as well

Thanks, boss. That did it. 

[jedi]

Totally lost and getting really tired of Debian BS...   

[PackRat]

I installed conky-all from the repos and it worked as expected.

The version in the repos seems to be ahead the official released version , or is there a different page - other than the git site which is 1.10.x - to download conky now?

[jedi]

Yes, Conky works fine, however, LUA is screwed...   

[VastOne]

Those famous words by some hack keep ringing in my ears...

FUCK CONKY!

(perhaps I should trademark that)

T-shirt anyone?

(I hope a certain Someone11 is shitting bricks)

+1

I've just looked down to the bottom of the screen, after read comments above, and the bloody things has gone just disappeared.

Haven't been around lately, been trying to get my own house in order.

I think my desktop looks better without it!

[Snap]

T-shirt anyone?

Send me one. 

Come on, guys. Conky is a nice system monitor to have on sight. If you don't get too crazy about it it's a great thingy. I just want the time and date, RAM and CPU usage. That's it. Don't over do it. Well, and a tiny and simplistic conkymoc just to see what moc is playing when it's on. I hate my desktop bloated. The default Vsido conky has already too much stuff and colors and it's too much in the way for me.

[dizzie]

(I hope a certain Someone11 is shitting bricks)

Bwahahaha!! I lost my shit there! THANKS 

[VastOne]

You are absolutely correct Snap  conky is perfect as a system monitor. It was how I found it years ago as a gkrellem replacement

As for the default in VSIDO I do need to change it and remove the network and the colors since there is no easy way to know the interface cards. Thanks Snap.

BTW, I am always open to any replacements in VSIDO. The conky default can be replaced at anytime, just shoot me the config and lets vote on it
