Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

OK,

The calendar is doing another weird thing, anyone any ideas?

See attached pic

From the looks of it you need to increase the size of:

text_buffer_size

try:

text_buffer_size 512

and increase it in chunks of 128 until your calendar displays correctly.

Have a nice day.

Many thanks sir, it's working fine now!

One more screenshot to show what I mean...

And the same screenshot to show you what I mean.

Browse:

3: look around casually and randomly, without seeking anything
in particular; "browse a computer directory"; "surf the
internet or the world wide web" [syn: {surf}]

me = good and I give you for trying.

Please note: No offence meant, just having a good time.

CHIMO!

OK,

Now that's sorted, here is the updated set up.

Pic 1 is with Rhythmbox and Pidgin closed, pic 2 is with them open.

I created an sh found here on in the thread to start/stop my conkys:

I call it ssc.sh (Start/Stop Conky)

#!/bin/sh

# click to start, click to stop

if pidof conky | grep [0-9] > /dev/null
then
 exec killall conky
else
#sleep 0  # sleep not required for xfce on startup - 30 or more for others
conky -c ~/Conky/conkymain &
#sleep 0
conky -c ~/Conky/conkyforecast &
#sleep 0
conky -c ~/Conky/conkyemail &
#sleep 0 
conky -c ~/Conky/conkygcal &
#sleep 0 
conky -c ~/Conky/todo &
#sleep 0
#conky -c ~/Conky/calendar &
#sleep 0
#conky -c ~/Conky/test &
 exit
fi

When I don't want a conky showing I comment it out.

I put it in my autostart and on my panel:
click - it's off
click again - it's on.

That's an awesome idea and I can't believe I never thought of it myself. No more typing it out in a terminal...

You win!

When we help others, we all win!

And no, not me, give that "Awesome Idea" to the author of who wrote that script. Unfortunately, I got it before I started adding a line to stuff I ... ummm "borrow":

#!/bin/sh
# Created by: name
# click to start, click to stop

if pidof conky | grep [0-9] > /dev/null

However, I am in the process of searching this entire thread for little tips and tricks with conky. For personal use and to help others. And I will find it.

I have an alias in my ~/.bashrc that helps with conky too! Like you why do manual work when one has a computer:

alias conke='(gedit ~/Conky/scripts/ssc.sh ~/Conky/conkymain ~/Conky/conkyforecast ~/Conky/calendar ~/Conky/conkyemail ~/Conky/conkygcal ~/Conky/todo ~/Conky/scripts/myweather.template ~/Conky/scripts/conkyGoogleCalendar.template ~/.conkyForecast.config ~/Documents/todo/todo.txt &)'

Soooooooooo much easier to open terminal and type: conke (for: conky edit) and get them ALL in one shot!

Happy New Year
Bruce

Can you post your rs.com script?
TIA

#!/bin/sh
USERNAME=user
PASSWORD=password
URL=https://ssl.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/premiumzone.cgi
points=$(curl -s --insecure --data-ascii "login=${USERNAME}&password=${PASSWORD}" ${URL} | grep RapidPoints: | awk 'match($0,"<b>.*</b>") { print substr($0,RSTART+3,RLENGTH-7) }')
PUpoints=$(curl -s --insecure --data-ascii "login=${USERNAME}&password=${PASSWORD}" ${URL} | grep "RapidPoints PU" | awk 'match($0,"<b>.*</b>") { print substr($0,RSTART+3,RLENGTH-7) }')
files=$(curl -s --insecure --data-ascii "login=${USERNAME}&password=${PASSWORD}" ${URL} | grep Files: | grep align | awk 'match($0,"<b>.*</b>") { print substr($0,RSTART+3,RLENGTH-7) }')
points_old=$(cat rs.log)
differenz=$(echo $((${points}-${points_old})))
echo "${points} (${differenz}) [${PUpoints} Prem.Points]"
echo ${points} > rs.log

it's dirty but it works

Hey Jivicin,
I was looking over the conky screen shots and found your Very kewl. One question... How did you get the the weather to show one the lower left of your screen?
Cheers
Matt

[QUOTE=Jivicin;1908158]Here's mine. I patched it together from a few I've read and tweaked the temps to get the sensors to display right:
