Finally installed MX21 XFCE.
Compiz was a little wonky initially (it was not saving/disabling the settings I enabled), but it seems to have settled down somewhat after a cautious one-by-one enabling of most of the options I use. Still holding off enabling skydome and cube caps for the moment. Let's see if it continues to behave itself.

Well, my compiz settings seem to have survived a reboot. Whew. Enabled Skydome and cube caps this morning, so far so good.

I think I can delete my first MX17 partition today, as I've mostly moved what I wanted to the MX21 install. I will keep the other MX17 install on my machine for now.

The weather conky is adapted from
@siamhie 's post here:
viewtopic.php?p=669796#p669796
I'd never used a wttr.in conky before (I usually use openweathermap/accuweather-based conkies) and your post finally spurred me to check it out. Thanks! Had to cut the "Weather" line into 2 for longer weather conditions so it wouldn't stretch the conky across the screen. I also tested a conky with wttr.in's "weather report" output but I wasn't keen on the ascii art for the weather condition.
Music conky uses the mediaplayer.py script that comes with MX's preinstalled conkies, the style is adapted from the manyroads/mysysinfo conkies.

Glad you like it. I lurk in the conky sub Reddit and came across this reply from moongya on setting up wttr.in in conky.
Conky Weather
I started with their base code and modified it using the output format from the wttr.in wiki page.
https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in#one-line-output
I know what you mean when you plug in the basic wttr.in command in conky. It ends up occupying the whole screen. If I'm not running my weather conky but I still want to check my weather using wttr.in, I have this entry in my Fluxbox menu which does include all the ascii art and the three day forecast.
Code: Select all
[exec] (Weather) {xfce4-terminal --hide-menubar --title "Weather" --geometry 130x40 -x bash -c "curl 'http://wttr.in/Forest+Grove, Oregon'; read -N1;"}

1. Load Xfce
2. In terminal or autostart: "fvwm3 --replace"

Haha, that's a sight I haven't seen in a long time!
Where do you get your Compiz themes? Last time I took a stroll down Compiz memory lane I was appalled that all the emerald themes were stuck in 2005 high gloss mode with hardly any newer than 2012 or so..

1. This is the one I use most of the time :
https://github.com/jpwchang/EmeraldEdge
2. Otherwise you can search pling.com under the 'beryl/emerald theme' and 'compiz theme' categories.
3. Search greybird theme's own subfolder, you'll find it comes with an emerald version of its window decoration.
4. The usual pack of themes that comes with emerald manager does have a numix theme.
5. I've found a few others that are very usable, but I'm not at my pc right now. But I can't recall if they were from the usual pack, or from elsewhere. Whatever I like, I save a backup on my data partition so I can reuse them in another distro or new release on mx.
