^ That is a compliment.. well said!

Well thanks to all.. and all thanks go to Peachy's Interactive Script.
He is the architect and I am merely the painter.

Average screen resolution is higher then 1024x768 according to the several different sites I checked out today.. And we know that the web doesn't lie. 

So with that in mind.. The conky is right at 1130px width (with all buttons open)


Just curious if 1130px wide is an acceptable width.?.

falldown was wondering:

Just curious if 1130px wide is an acceptable width?


Well, it's less than my 1280x1024 screen and I think I have the smallest one here.

It's 'an acceptable width' IMHO!

I'll have to move my email conky but that's easy.

Very Nice falldown!  I am so looking forward to the end product! 

[jedi]

Can't wait for it to be done!  I'll take it now!!!!  Just kidding, still using the two you just finished!  Your a busy man falldown, and the work is exemplary!!!!

[Sector11]

@ falldown - feedback is easy, you're doing the hard stuff.

But you're like me ... a labour of love isn't labour.

Oh nice buttons!      black V for off blue V for on?
{stop with the darned suggestions let him finish}
Looking great ... I'm like jedi ... "Is it finished yet?", with VastOne's panting

Remember when text conkys with lines ( | - _ ) and + were popular.

Well while doing some house cleaning in /media/5/conky I came across a couple.  One was HUGE and I just broke it up into two as it wasn't finished and looked HORRIBLE!

However, once I took the conkyForecast section out of it and popped it into it's own conky .... well you be the judge ...

Everything to the left of the weather is one conky ... and not a single ${voffset} in the box.

Now another one I found was 'basically' what you see on the extreme left.  I did some quik editing and changed the font to my favourite mono font today: monofur.

I changed the | _ - and + for the ASCII stuff:

╔ ═ ╦ ═ ╗   ┌ ─ ┬ ─ ┐

║   ║   ║   │   │   │

╠ ═ ╬ ═ ╣   ├ ─ ┼ ─ ┤

║   ║   ║   │   │   │

╚ ═ ╩ ═ ╝   └ ─ ┴ ─ ┘

╔═╦═╗   ┌─┬─┐
║ ║ ║   │ │ │
╠═╬═╣   ├─┼─┤
║ ║ ║   │ │ │
╚═╩═╝   └─┴─┘

and I'm really impressed with how monofur used those: 

An old style
with a new look!

Very impressive Sector11!  Nice of you to find and share these golden oldies.. 

[Sector11]

The way things are going conky like that will be under glass in a Conky Museum really soon ... and I'll be beside it.    

" ... and over here we have Sector11's avatar.  He was coding a new conky back in 2013 and hit the wrong key sequence and deleted himself!"

What was a real surprise was the conkyForecast part.  It has a really large .template file and it still worked.

I do like the "old style new look" though and might develop something else from that!

[jedi]

An Old Look!  Wow, I gotta say, I really like the looks of that!  Well done Sector11...

[Sector11]

I {cough cough} borrowed the idea from a conky I saw a long time ago, and it was an old conky then. My first one was 1/2 the size of the left "panel" in the first post.  Probably around the time of conky v1.6.  No images back then and a lot fewer conky commands to contend with.

It just grew over time ... I'd play with it, add to it and then got abandoned as I moved on to other conkys.  Was nice bit of nostalgia tweaking them today.

[Sector11]

OH falldown!

You made it to Conky PitStip -=AGAIN=-

Take a look: Featured and the first in the 2013 Gallery
