[Announce] Conky Layout Switcher
Beta release - BRAVE TESTERS WANTED! :)
Conky is a strong and powerful tool to watch what is going on on your system. Sadly, it is able to do a lot more than you could display at your small screen at the same time. But now comes Conky Layout Switcher This Application makes it possible to switch your Conky status Monitor fast and live between 4 Layouts - depending of your current use case (general, system load, Network Traffic and Disk usage) It is made up of 3 parts:
You have to enable Conky Layout Switcher first using the Setup Application. If you disable the application later your default Conky Config file is used again. (Warning: If your currently using the outdated Version 1.6.1 from conky your layout gets updated to the new one from Version 1.9.6 !) Don't forget to disable Conky Layout Switcher if you want to uninstall it. (I hope you wouldn't) :D If you want to create your own Layouts that interacts with Conky Layout Switcher put your own Layouts simply at /home/user/MyDocs/ as before. Simply Name the file conkyLS.conf Have a look at /etc/conky/conkyLS.conf how it works! :) Known Issues, small drawbacks and bugs:
Please note: This Application will install Conky-N900 and ttf-droid to your N900 if not already installed. But it won't touch your current *.conf files (I hope) so nothing will break. But creating a small Backup is never a bad idea. ;) If you are brave enough you can find this small application currently at extra devel or download it at the package page: Conky Layout Switcher Quote:

@helex
A bug report... It won't run at all you forgot to set execute permissions to /opt/usr/bin/ConkyLayoutSwitcher :p Also all conf files on /etc/conky have *-new on the end so conky still can't find them :D |
Re: [Announce] Conky Layout Switcher

But /opt/usr/bin/ConkyLayoutSwitcher should have execute permissions. I had no problems so far. I have this line in my postinstall script: Code:
chmod 755 /opt/usr/bin/ConkyLayoutSwitcher |
Re: [Announce] Conky Layout Switcher
I haven't tried v0.0.7-2 since I already left home. But What I have posted up there are all the problems I encountered so far on 0.0.6-2 I manually fixed all those problems listed and seems like conkylayoutswitcher worked already

Re: [Announce] Conky Layout Switcher
What version have you installed?
I uploaded a new version (0.0.7-2) with a small preinstall script to prepare /etc/conky I hope this could help. But nothing changed regarding /opt/usr/bin/ConkyLayoutSwitcher Edit: Ah, okay. Sorry. I guess I'm writing to slow. :D v0.0.7-2 has some changes in the preinstall and postinstall script. And the config files are included. ConkyLayoutSwitcher wrote those itself before. Hope this could help... Thanks for your feedback so far! :) |
Re: [Announce] Conky Layout Switcher
I must say that this is a great app! I really liked it.
A small request: any chance to make the app detect eth0 as a network connection? I'm using a USB network adapter as my primary connection to the internet and it tells me that there are no network connections. |

Perhaps you could modify it yourself in the file /etc/conky/conkyNetwork.conf (but the next update will overwrite your changes again!) I'm planing to reconstruct several parts of the Network config. (but trying to keep the layout) I will look how this could work with eth0. But I need a brave tester until it is well-engineered. ;) |
