I like the dark one, lwfitz.  Those glass/plastic squares, are they a GIMP script too?

You're welcome.  I don't recall you asking the question.

Mind reader I'm not!   ;D <-- Edit an oops!

loadgraph


Dobbie03 over on CrunchBang asked if anyone knew how to get a graph for RAM and CPU  - CPU was easy: cpugraph  ... but ram?  Then he edited his post and said he found it: loadgraph.  I have never seen that command used before and never gave it the light of day until today.  I did some reading and discovered things I had never really knew about "load average" ... interesting.  The noob in me surfaces again!

Anyway I made a test conky and had to work with it a bit and discovered a few things.  "Scale" isn't really explained and that it does matter whether you use the -t -l function AND in what order you use them.  I have added "loadgraph" to my daily conky on the right as well.  Also I stressed out my CPU usage a bit just to see results.

Another thing I found out: above TEXT:
Quote# Specify a default width and height for graphs.
# Example: 'default_graph_size 0 25'.
# reverse to what is used under TEXT where it is height and width
# does not work with "loadgraph"
# default_graph_size 100 50

The business portion of the test conky on the left:
TEXT
loadgraph:
(height),(width) (gradient colour 1) (gradient colour 2) (scale) (-t) (-l)

Load1 average graph, similar to xload, with optional colours in hex, minus
the "hash". Uses a logarithmic scale (to see small numbers) when you use the -l
switch. Takes the switch '-t' to use a temperature gradient, which makes the
gradient values change depending on the amplitude of a particular graph value
(try it and see).

Clean
${loadgraph 30,518 0000ff fff000}
-t -l${goto 280}-tl
${loadgraph 30,250 0000ff fff000 -t -l}  ${loadgraph 30,250 0000ff fff000 -tl}
-l -t${goto 280}-lt
${loadgraph 30,250 0000ff fff000 -l -t}  ${loadgraph 30,250 0000ff fff000 -lt}
just -l${goto 280}just -t
${loadgraph 30,250 0000ff fff000 -l}  ${loadgraph 30,250 0000ff fff000 -t}


And from my daily conky (messed up my vnstats have to fix that):
Load Average ${color5}(minutes)
${alignc}1: ${color}${loadavg 1}  ${color5}5: ${color}${loadavg 2}  ${color5}15: ${color}${loadavg 3}
${alignc}${loadgraph 14,220 00ffff fff000 .2 -lt}


Maybe someone will find it useful.

I dedicate that one to all users of Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V.

One place asked for my CV in an email, I said I'd Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V it immediately?  ::)
{groan}

But with that site and scripts maybe, just maybe I can do something worthwhile for this thread.

Thanks buddy. Im cheating and using a script I found on gimpscripts.com  ;)

AHA!  Now I know ... cheating's good ... sometimes in Lnuxlandia it's called Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V or .sh or .py  :D

Not custom - found it on the net

The original said!

Thank you ... you made life easier.

WoW!  Good stuff. Any problems?  Where did you

I was going to try it for my mother-in-laws super old Compaq Celeron but I think it's not going to work due to a non-PAE (?) CPU.  I need to do more research on that aspect, first.  I have no other 32bit computer to try it on.

I use to use aptitude exclusively, years ago.  Been with apt-get for a few years now.
One thing I like about aptitude is: it's a terminal app as well.
Just type aptitude in the terminal

Something more to explore ... again!
Aptitude revisited!

I have no idea who did the original "circle" design, I found it on wallbase.cc and did a cut/clip/snip/change colour/shadow to it and here it is on a denim background with falldown's ORB.


Anyone interested in the centre, it's here: VSIDO_in_Circle.png (1000x1000)

:D  :D falldown  :D :D that's perfect!  :D :D

I've been a reader of  _JEDSDESK_______ for a long time and that hit's the nail on the head.

Well done Jed, great articles!  Although I have yet to see one on "desks"

There's a new program launcher on the block ... kinda clumsy because it's mechanical; so uses "no" memory.  Originally came with Win 7 stuff  ... but I modified it for, what else, VSIDO!


Next project is to clean it up (again) and make a conky for it.  BTW, I did not do the "Program Launcher" text, whoever put the MS stuff up must have done that and messed with the graphics a bit.  Must see if I can find the "original".

Icons are right out of: LinuxLex-8 with my modified "folder.png"
