Conky on the desktop with MPD integration.


Conky with the new config present in 1.6.1-2.

Download link: http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/conky_1.6.1-2_armel.deb

Changes:
  • Based on latest upstream. 1.6.1 compared to 1.5.1.
  • Contains a modified autohome applet by me. autohome applet by sdsman.
  • Contains wartstew's conkyrc (which is based on mine :>) . Modified by me to be white rather than purple, fixed temperature so it is actually shown in Celsius. System line added. MPD support re-added. Various other changes as listed in #3.
  • No need to enter Red Pill mode to install.
  • /home/user/.conkyrc is now a deb conffile.
  • Compiled with Diablo SDK.
  • Compiled with optimizations.

Install instructions:
  1. Uninstall conky if already installed using application manager.
  2. Install conky deb file with application manager.
  3. Enable the Conky desktop applet to show Conky. Disable it to close Conky.

Bug[s]:
  • Conky is not startup friendly. It will not show on bootup even if the applet is enabled. Disable and re-enable the applet to view conky again. I tried many variations of an init script, sleep etc to no avail. I give up on that front.
  • It flickers. Double buffering stops it but matchbox hates it and goes white. fms is right, be nice if it didn't use an xwindow for drawing...
