my new conky theme: MX-Compact

Install

• unpack the archive to $HOME/.conky, which will create a subdirectory called MX-Compact
• start installation with conky -c conkyrc.conf
• when new elements appear at screen stop conky by hitting Strg+C
• now start the new conky theme with conky -c conkyrc.conf -d

Have fun

P.S.:

OK, I had quick look into both this one "MX Compact" and the other "MX Circles" viewtopic.php?p=808244#p808244
Both are great conky's with a really cool lua stuff.
Here my first little wish/suggestions:
Do implement those currently used functions like lfs.currentdir(), lfs.dir(), lfs.mkdir() and lfs.symlinkattributes()
provided by external lsf lua modules with some simple pure lua equivalents.
And b/c conky comes with compiled in lua5.3 but not with lfs-module compiled in,
this would avoid, users needed first to install the package "lua-filesystem" before they can actually use your conky's.
Thanks

Hi,

I refined the code and extended the theme a bit.
The code is now all lua - no entries in conky.text and no usage of external modules
First post is updated to reflect the changes.

The archive contains different files:

• ConkyBuilder.lua - the script that get's loaded by conky. It checks for existance of "config.lua". If that file does not exists, it loads other files to create a setup file that matches your hardware
• ConkyHelper.lua - common functions that are helpful
• ConkySysReader.lua - a script that detects your hardware
• SetupWriter.lua - this script will build the new config file based on the hardware detected by ConkySysReader and uses the templates from Template-file
• MX-Compact.templates - the templates that make up the look of MX-Compact
