--[[Background originally by londonali1010 (2009)
    ability to set any size for background mrpeachy 2011
    ability to set variables for bg in conkyrc dk75

  the change is that if you set width and/or height to 0
  then it assumes the width and/or height of the conky window

so:

Above and After TEXT  (requires a composite manager or it blinks!)

lua_load ~/wea_conky/draw_bg.lua

${lua conky_draw_bg 20 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.4}
  See below:        1  2 3 4 5 6        7

${lua conky_draw_bg corner_radius x_position y_position width height color alpha}

covers the whole window and will change if you change the minimum_size setting

2 = 0             x_position

[Sector11]

I had some time to kill today - I could not connect to the internet 

So I played with a conky that needs no internet - yea, I see Network too!  My cable modem is still connected and I get little 'blips' from it on occasion.

This is what I did with my "default" ~/.conkyrc - the one that runs if I start a conky that doesn't exist, my fingers are terrible at spelling.  And now, if there is no internet.

     

Notice how VastOne is getting to me - the font is bigger!  To him I say: 

{can ya hear it?}   

Get the code here

[dizzie]

I like the lighthouse wallpaper Reminds me of home in my childhood

[VastOne]

Excellent work Sector11!  It fits you well!   

[Sector11]

@ dizzie - if you liked that one:

@ VastOne - it's growing on me, see above.

[jedi]

Wow Sector11, reminds me of being in Bar Harbor down on the coast of Maine...  Very nice!

[Sector11]

^ Yea, except today you could probably skate across the Bay of Fundy to Yarmouth.

Imagine stepping outside to that?  That's gotta be one very well built lighthouse!

Lost Internet again ... so I tweaked it a tad.

     

     

I think I like the black text white shadow more.  Probably because it is different!

[lwfitz]

@ Sector11

HAHAHA! Hit him again! 

And those arent plain at all! Looks great!

[BoredOOMM]

I don't remember the commands to hide the network if you are not connected..... 

I was actually going to use this abandoned Russiky island lamp for my background with arched Dock at bottom and Conky in white on the right side....

http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/shkota2/shkota002-49.jpg

Don't you also miss the #! "Where in the World Thread" also?

[Sector11]

Yea, they look nice, but other than the draw-bg.lua, just good old fashioned plain jane conky commands with some spacing tweaks.

[dizzie]

*Could you go to the lighthouse and get some things for me?*


Oh hell fucking no! Get your own shit, and bring a raincoat too (not that it will do much good) 

[Sector11]

Hi BoredOOMM, long time...

You mean this one:

if_up    (interface)
   if INTERFACE exists and is up, display everything between $if_up and the matching $endif

As long as my cable modem is plugged in, internet or not, it's considered "up".

Not sure what you are referring to with the Russiky island link. I see no lamp.  But that bottom link looks like an OLD lamp!

I don't recall the "Where in the World Thread", but Carmen Santiago lives next door. 

[Xtreme]

Well this is my first attempt at getting conky going on VSIDO. (most of the code taken from examples on xfce look - just modified to my system)  Think it looks ok, just have to figure how to add music integration now

[VastOne]

Xtreme, welcome to the Conky Masters Club!

That is EPIC... well done sir!   

BTW, I have a How To somewhere around here called 18 Music Apps for Conky...

I am sure you might spot it in the How To's

[Sector11]

Xtreme, you have my first conky beat 3 ways to Sunday.

Oh wait, first on VSIDO.  Still ... nice one!

VastOne is shy: 18 Music Apps for Conky
