Code: Select all

own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_argb_value = 0,

(After saving, change the theme to something else, then select back this one to take effect)

Code: Select all

own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_argb_value = 0,

then change
own_window_transparent = true,

to

Code: Select all

own_window_transparent = false,

asqwerth wrote: Sun Dec 10, 2023 11:52 am As I understand it, you have sorted out the transparency issue but are wondering why the conky doesn't look exactly like the pic in the pling page.

That is because as downloaded, the conky comes with some scripts. 2 questions for you:
1. did you save the lua script in the same place as set out in the conky config file?

2. If you want to sort out your location's current temperature, I note that there are some instructions on the pling page from the creator for you to follow relating to the weather script. Also, the weather script doesn't magically know your location so you have to insert your own location code.

Open the conky config file itself and search for "lua". There is a line in the conky config where it mentions a file path for where the lua file must be saved.

Copy the lua file in "this place" (wherever you put extracted the conky zip file) and paste the lua file into the same spot mentioned in the conky config file. This lua script generates the circular bargraph.

Alternatively, edit the lua file location in that line of the conky config file to point to your actual location of the lua script.

Similarly, search conky config file for "bg". This is the small circular background behind the 3 circular bargraphs. Note the file location of this image as listed in the conky config file. Then copy the bg picture file that is in the extracted zip file and paste it in the file location mentioned in the conky config file. Or edit the file location in the conky config.

Images are not searchable nor can you copy text from images.

However I can spot the mistake this round: you should not have the "~" in front of all your file paths.

It's either:

$HOME/.conky/bla bla bla

or

/home/dotw/.conky/bla bla bla


Potentially,

~/.conky/bla bla bla

might work also if your scripts/images are found in the same main folder as the conky config, but you will have to test this yourself.


ADDED: you need to change the file location of the weather-v2.0-sh script as well.
