Check out Pexels.
My days of using a search engine is over and I only use this site for wallpaper now.

That is a nice one! A little too 'real picture' but the colors are in the ballpark..

That's the kind of art work definitely! I'd probably want to find more colors that are dominant in the Conky Icons... First I have to deliver the actual product!

Appreciate the Inputs guys!

Not sure what to say, this is a rough proof... Need a Papirus-y looking wallpaper to really sell it I think, I don't have much in the way of those kind of Desktop BG's.. Need to polish more and then I'll put it out for further testing Each Icon is a mini conky so they can be arranged however you want... I'll probably make at least a vertical and horizontal layout.. Still working on a battery one for laptops but I don't have a battery on this machine.....

Those conkies are rather cute looking!

Based on the size of the icons on your dock, each conky is also rather large, but that's something that can be tweaked.

hello
network in and out
the net_ringsteneight is smaller size. changed the font size of X from 44 to 24 to shrink height.

Hello i_ri!

That's pretty fancy with the lua rings! Maybe a little hard to read?

OK, enough for tonight..

Here's a shot from my 1920x1080 laptop, the Conkys are 80x80px that's going to be pretty small to be legible on a 4K display and likely too big on 1366x768. They're widgets not Icons so I'm expecting them to be bigger than Desktop launchers. It's not really very easy to change their size because then all the text/bar coordinates get skewed so... happy medium.. I've added lua bg with rounded corners and adjusted some things, need more fine tuning and bar colors are hard to match with other colors but I think essentially this will be the kind of look, will finish the rest tomorrow and find a better background..

to read.
network rings not at 100 scale. at 100 there is little visual movement.
It is set to super sensitive in order to give better(more) visual satisfaction that something is processing. accentuated activity.
and a big X null when disconnected.
just a visual; no numbers; no translating. size and sensitivity and accuracy can be adjusted.
inner, down, RX
outer, up, TX

Hi @i_ri

I like your idea but I already had a network conky in mind and I don't know if I want to add the complexity of more lua stuff especially when I don't really know how to fix and adjust it's code.. Like all Conky they are somewhat affected by background color.. Maybe you could do a Papirus set with lua rings?

OK,

I think I'm done with the widgets, I think I will ship a startup script for a horizontal layout and a vertical one and after that people can edit to their hearts content.. I've added conky for Home folder size and optional external drive ones that can be edited per-case..

A young John Fogerty looks and wonders if these Papirus Conkii could have prevented Creedence from breaking up...

Can't wait to try it! With Conky Manager (I know you don't have that in AVLMXE) users will be able to enable only the ones they want, and reposition them accordingly.

Cool, If you have time to test with that before I put them out that would be great info to know! I'm going to see if I can come up with a minimal weather one to finish the collection off then I'll post a zip here for testing. Might not be until mid-week..

*EDIT weather one done, it turned out kinda adorbs... (credit due to the Papirus devs).
