Modular Papirus Conky Idea

@AVLinux if you would like a more realistic weather icon to match your other E-modulus icons, go check out VClouds weather icons on deviantart.

The licence for the icons is the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 License, which permits non-commercial use provided the artist (also called VClouds) is given attribution by providing a link to their VClouds weather icons page on Deviantart:

For myself, I'd adapted VClouds some time ago for my openweathermap weather conkies - numbered them to follow openweathermap's weather codes, and also edited one or two of the rain icons (erased some of the rain) to get "light rain" icons.

So I made an openweather dynamic icons conky with these icons to match your E-Modulus vibe.

Wow, that's perfect, I was having trouble finding something like this, thanks!

PS, I wish it were 28 degrees here...

Thank you, that helped a lot with my conkies that have an image background and a progress bar/circle. I'm now able to use the image.lua script [to remove unsightly black frames around the image] on top of the lua script for the bars/circles etc.

[ADDED AFTER MORE TESTS}
1. to be exact, I visited the link while booted into MX21 [ie, older conky package] and noted that the old method to run/load 2 lua scripts had been by adding a space between the 2 lua scripts being used. Using this method, I was able to run 2 lua scripts, but only because the image.lua script itself doesn't need a lua_draw_hook_pre command of its own. But hey, at least now I know my previous mistake was to try to load the 2 separate lua scripts in separate lines in the conky config;

2. now booted into MX23, I tried the semi-colon method, but it doesn't work. I suppose MX23's conky package is not the latest. Using the space method, I can't get 2 different lua scripts to run if they each need a lua_draw_hook_pre command of its own. I tried adding a space between the 2 lua_draw_hook_pre commands on the same line, and this allows the first script to work, but the second one doesn't.
When I try having the 2 different lua_draw_hook_pre commands on different lines, both scripts don't work.

As long as only one, or none, lua scripts use the lua_draw_hook_pre command, the "space" method works to load 2 lua scripts.
