Modular Papirus Conky Idea

[asqwerth]

OK, I tried to follow your style, from round corners, size, font, ghostly translucency - heh - and have come up with the conky that I call "weather_dynamic_icons".



https://imgur.com/vgHPUVi


List of stuff included/done:
1. papirus weathericons converted to roughly 512x512-sized png icons, to be in line with your other icons.
2. renamed your wttrrc conky "wttrrc-weather"
3. added a README text file to explain what to do for both weather conkies and also diskrc
4. the "preview.png" file is to provide a preview of the whole Modulus set of conkies for Conky Manager

It doesn't add that much to the complexity of your conky set, if you consider the whole weathericons folder as a single item. The essential bits are just the weather conky itself, the weather-v2.0 script, and the weathericons folder. The rest are previews or explanatory notes.

Download the whole Modulus set, version 2, here: https://app.box.com/s/nflztgg1ygg69s3gnvtgzo38kx25tmf1


[ADDED - clarification - I only dealt with the Desktop version of Modulus, as I was working on my PC. I don't know what the difference is for the laptop version.

Great stuff! @asqwerth

Lol, teamwork makes the dream work as they say.. Thanks for the icing on the cake!

Oh wait.. So is there an install dependency required? for jq?

[asqwerth]

Yes, I'll remind the devs (@dolphin_oracle and @Adrian to include it in mx25.

It's become a part of my mx install routine to install jq that I totally forgot it wasn't there by default !

<snip>
From the viewpoint of an XFCE user [no idea about Enlightenment]:
1. changing the argb value does not affect the translucency, and so everything remains very ghostly and transparent, unless I set own_window_transparent as false. Once I do that, translucency can be changed with the argb value.
2. However, if I make own window transparent = true false [or not mentioned at all] , then the lua script to round corners doesn't work.
3. for the "hints" line, I need to add "below," otherwise every time I change the conky, it appears on top of other opened windows, at least for a while.
<snip>

Hi!
Glad it arrived in one-piece, yeah sorry I have no XFCE4 installs to test, I'm boringly Distro monogamous...lol.
<snip>
Even on Enlightenment I had to find a sweet spot between the native transparency and the Lua stuff, BTW you can tune the Lua transparency in the LUA file too.

I should probably acknowledge many of the code snippets are from @ceeslans along the way... I agree wttr.in isn't a perfect solution..
<snip>

@AVLinux hehe, already noticed the if/else code for red-blinking warning when battery level falls below 20% ...

Just tried the set of laptop conkies on my Devuan fluxbox install. Each and every one is working correctly, needed some personal adjustments for my system.

I haven't noticed any problems with the 'draw_bg.lua' script when own_window_transparent is set to false (or missing), but that is probably because I have compton (or picom) compositor running. Most DE's will have some compositor running in the background.
Still, it doesn't make sense to have the draw_bg.lua script AND own_window_argb_value=35 setting running, or at least not at the same time. I've set the argb_value to "0" and let the lua script take over this task.
Actually, I'm using Mr.Peachy's updated script 'transbg.lua', which allows for setting the corner-radius / color / opacity pct levels per individual conky config, e.g:

Code: Select all

lua_load = '~/.conky/Modulus/LUA/transbg.lua',     --## edit path where necessary...
lua_draw_hook_pre = 'draw_bg 7 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.25',

If you're interested, here's the 'transbg.lua' script:

Code: Select all

--[[Background originally by londonali1010 (2009)
    ability to set any size for background mrpeachy 2011
    ability to set variables for bg in conkyrc dk75

  the change is that if you set width and/or height to 0
  then it assumes the width and/or height of the conky window

so:

Above and After TEXT  (requires a composite manager or it blinks!)

 lua_load ~/wea_conky/draw_bg.lua
 TEXT
 ${lua conky_draw_bg 10 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.2}

OR Both above TEXT (no composite manager required - no blinking!)

 lua_load ~/wea_conky/draw_bg.lua
 lua_draw_hook_pre draw_bg 10 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.2
 TEXT

Note
${lua conky_draw_bg 20 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.2}
  See below:        1  2 3 4 5 6        7

${lua conky_draw_bg corner_radius x_position y_position width height color alpha}

covers the whole window and will change if you change the minimum_size setting

1 = 20             corner_radius
2 = 0             x_position l|r
3 = 0             y_position u|d
4 = 0             width
5 = 0             height
6 = 0x000000      color
7 = 0.4           alpha

@ceeslans

Very nice! I was hoping you'd show up! A personal thanks for your code snippets!

I'll look at the updated lua, I do like the simplicity of the other one.

Haha, your OCD has surpassed mine... I was also pondering whether the home and disk modules should have the same size percentage text, I was going to change that tonight! You beat me to it! Did you edit the home folder image too??

[asqwerth]

@ceeslans
Thanks for the interesting lua code to try. Hopefully it sorts out both the corners and translucency for me. I had a few old weather conkies where I gave up on the nice corners so I could make it more opaque.

[Adrian]

Yes, I'll remind the devs (@dolphin_oracle and @Adrian to include it in mx25.

It's become a part of my mx install routine to install jq that I totally forgot it wasn't there by default !

Funny that I just watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmIUf4T29pQ (not that I agree or anything, but it's a funny coincidence)

[AVLinux]

I think I'm going to add a little terminal window that prints the DE, Kernel and init. Distro name value will probably be too long in most cases so I'll avoid that. I'm also not happy with the home folder. I want to modify it like @ceeslans so the percentage number is bigger and matches the other numerical sizes... A few nitpicks to take care of..

Stay tuned!

[ceeslans]

Haaa! Today I made minor changes to image sizing+positioning, in an effort to get a better overall textual/bar lineup.
Also changed the image for netrc, because the two monitors sank away in the background darkness.
Startup of the eight conky widgets takes roughly 60mb of ram; which is still okay, I think.

[AVLinux]

Very nice work as usual! Yeah I like the network concept with the 2 monitors (I stole it from an old Enlightenment module) but it did turn out darker than I thought... Your WiFi Icon looks good, I wanted something that wasn't connection type specific..
