[Request] Beautify "Conky"
 
"Conky" is my most used application.I like the functionality it offers but don't like the interface.It's too ugly.Is it possible to make it more beautiful?I would like to request the developer of "Conky" to add some eye candy.

What kind of eye candy would you like to see in a System Info/Resources app?

I guess he wants to see flowers and rainbows in a System Info/Resources app

Dancing bananas in the background would be awesome.

Would it be possible to loose the idea to have everything visible on one screen.

Make lots of stuff bigger and you would have to scroll down. Include some battery data as well

So is it must for a system info app to have a ugly UI??

I'd say so, yes.

Hi all,

Check out Conky's home page, and you see that you can customise it in many, many ways. The default conf file supplied by the deb in the repo was just meant to be a starting point for you all to play with. Outside of this community, I suspect that 90% of Conky users are running with a Conky conf of their own design.

Normally though, Conky runs directly on the users desktop, but I figured that an app would be more useful on the N900 and configured it like that (in the default conf file) by default.

Remember that if you want to modify the Conky conf file to your tastes, you can copy /etc/conky/conky.conf to /home/user/MyDocs/conky.conf and edit it there. When you run Conky, it will use that conf file in preference to the default. This means that you can easily tweak it using any of the installable editors on the device.

Because Conky is so heavily customisable just by editing its conf file, I'm not really keen on modifying the default, although if there are proposed changes that are very popular, and don't have any significant dependencies (i.e. powertop) then some tweaks to the default could be considered. I've an outstanding feature request to provide a mechanism supporting localisation which I will hopefully get onto soon, and this would also tend to affect the likelihood of changing the default conf.

Note that the packaged version in Extras is not built from the latest source release, and doesn't support Lua, as there didn't seem to be an easy route to satisfy those dependencies.

I look forward to seeing some conky.conf files posted here on t.m.o.

By the way, if you wanna see a truly horrible Conky, this is the one that offended my eyes when I first built a package from Debian sources and used their conf file.

Lol. I like the fix it yourself tag. It wasn't me, but that, in a nutshell, is the essence of my post above :)

I actually like the current look. Marktold's suggestion of going to the information being presented larger is a good one.

Rather than scrolling, why not have pages, ala the four Maemo homepages on the device. NewLC has a symbian application called Phone Info that displays on one screen
  • IMEI,
  • MAC address,
  • Bluetooth address,
  • Machine id
  • Model Name
  • Platform
  • Firmware version
  • Device on for hh:mm:ss
On a second screen it displays
the various drives

On another screen it displays
  • CPU Speed
  • CPU type
  • Total RAM
  • Screen Resolution (L x W in pixels)
  • Application area size (L x W in pixels)

On yet another screen it displays the available type fonts using a
1234, Lorem ipsum ... text sample to display the font.

Having Conky display it's current information plus whatever is mentioned above that is not in Conky right now would turn it into a one stop shopping device information tool. Healthcheck displays some of the information available in Conky and uses a scrolling interface.

The classic black background with vibrant colors for the information is, to me, very appealing as a look for a system widget. Moving the information to several pages will certainly provide additional space for increasing the displayed size of the information.

Nothing drastic just got rid of the flat bright colors and made the bars thinner.

Touche. Some ideas for you :)

By the way, when I built the package, I configured it without support for the weather stuff, primarily because I'm lazy and the dependencies weren't trivially solved. As there's the OmWeather widget already, I figured we could live with that.

Can you please share the config file along with the battery icons and signal icons?

The battery and signal mods are in the n900 mods topic, here is my conky config file .. http://www.speedyshare.com/files/22403298/conky.conf

Re: [Request] Beautify "Conky"
 
I thought I'd request support for a Conky desktop overlay, that would be awesome. Perhaps a interested coder can ask the developer of Live Wallpaper how you make a widget that is beneath icons and above the background.

dbrodie 2010-05-12 19:01
Re: [Request] Beautify "Conky"
 
Well, actually, now that conkey supports RGBA shouldn't it be really easy to have it as a pretty desktop widget?

[EDIT]
BTW, here are a few nice example:

(I bit odd but they where for valentine's day :) )

Re: [Request] Beautify "Conky"
 
Check Tawan's post here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=94241&p=4

he's using conky in the bottom left corner.

Also here: http://s218.photobucket.com/albums/c...t=obshot-2.jpg

On the right side, the card with all the states has a conky overlay.

Plenty more examples in the archlinux screenshots page. Conky doesn't have to be "ugly".

Guys where I have to put this conf file now.. the directory from dasilva I can't find in my N900 ?!

DaSilva 2010-08-08 10:44
Re: [Request] Beautify "Conky"
 
It should be the main directory if you connect your N900 to your PC or it is called "N900" on the phone.

Re: [Request] Beautify "Conky"
 
Let's get one thing out of the way first. Apart from displaying all sorts of system/process information to the user, another goal of Conky was to allow users to present that information in a so diverse possible way or format.

If you get to linx forums, you will find massive threads everywhere with tutorials on Conky, how to achieve certain effects.

The one I'd advise you to start with, only a couple of pages long, is
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205865

To give you an example of what can be done, here the integration of the Google calendar.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=837385

There are only the limits of the framework of Conky itself, but basically any systeminfo should be able to be forwarded to Conky to be displayed. Think mediaplayer info, incoming mail, weather or calendar, you name it.

The only advise I should give you before clicking on any of those links is that once you start tinkering, Conky tends to be a bit addictive. If you have a wife and kids, and the weather outside is good, send them away first ;).

Enjoy!

You're probably not using the power kernel, are You?

Re: [Request] Beautify "Conky"
 
@PipoXtreme: You have to enter the following command once in X-Terminal and reboot:

sudo gainroot
echo bq27x00_battery >> /etc/modules

Hi all

Thank you for your posts about Conky, I could create my config.

Temperature and Current work only with the power Kernel.

Just copy / create the code to /home/user/MyDocs/conky.conf
Using your code I get a little square after process Top 4-6 the MEM% column

It looks like

MEM%□
5.55□
7.71□
3.31


Strange its after just the first 3 in the column.

Any ideas?

EDIT:
Just noticed I have the square thingy next to up time and # of processes as well.

I've copied this to both MyDocs and etc/conky/ and get the same results from both file locations.

EDIT2:
No worries, fixed it, must have been where I created the file using windows then transfered to N900, copying from web page into leafpad, saving to MyDocs then cp /home/user/conky.conf /etc/conky/ and it works like a charm.

Stupid Windoze

Another strange symbol, this time next to 'Temperature', it reads 43A°C.

Screenshot attached.

Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks
