This wasn't as elaborate or spectacular as some of the other conkies people developed lately, this is just something I wanted and managed to pull off by-myself and maybe someone else here might find it useful too.
So here is how this works:
The script is based on a copy of the [~/.conky/MX-CowonBlue/MX-Cowon_blue_dinreg]. It can live if you want in the same folder but with a different name, or you can duplicate the "MX-CowonBlue" folder and name it "MX-CowonBlue-(Extended)" and place it in there. That's what I did to keep things clean, and do all my future experiments in there without affecting the original. You can also rename the script itself for convenience to "MX-Cowon_blue_dinreg_(Extended)".
Different Hardware:
This version reads the temperature from an Nvidia graphics card. I have another PC with a Radeon card but I'll have access to it in about 3 months from now...so I can't test this and make sure till then. But, in theory, if you replace the Nvidia line by either removing it completely or commenting it out with a #, and place this below:
Code: Select all
${color3}GPU Temp ${color4}+${execi 10 sensors | grep -i 'radeon' | awk '{print $2}'}°CAnd lastly, the original script included a battery reading feature which I do not have a way to test. So I don't know if it works, nor have a way to adjust it aesthetically. I only left it in for the purpose of sharing so that other people might want to tinker with it.
