Conky add-ons for AVL's Modulus conky set

#1 Post by asqwerth »

If anyone's interested, I've made 3 conky add-ons to complement @AVLinux 's Modulus set of conkies using graphics derived from the Papirus icon set.

His post setting out the final iteration of his conky set is found here: viewtopic.php?p=809361#p809361


Screenshot of my add-ons with most of AVL's set (I didn't run batteryrc - I'm on desktop PC - and termrc). I got an itch to make the addons when I realised from AVL's initial trial conkies that Papirus had nice weather icons. I though it was a really fun idea.

Obviously you will need to edit the addon conkies to adjust their positioning to your preference. Download link is at the bottom of the post.

Description of the 3 addons:

1. modulus_dynamic-icons

The weather graphic in this conky changes with the weather condition and time of day. The weather details are obtained from openweathermap.org, which, depending on your location, may be pretty good, or might cover too wide/general an area to be helpful to you. It's pretty good for where I live, so I'm happy with it. Your mileage may vary.

Open the README file within for instructions on how to set your location in the included script. Attribution for the weather script is also in there.


2. music-display

[have adjusted the text display so that long text doesn't creep all the way to the edge of the graphic. Ignore how this looks in the large general screenshot]

This will display Artist name and the Song title (as much as can fit into 2 lines each) plus progress bar of the playing track/stream (assuming your track or stream has those details) when you run MX23's default music organiser, Strawberry. If you using a different MPRIS-compliant music player, just replace all references to strawberry in the conky with your player's name. Note that case may be important in rare cases. Eg qmplay2 only works if you spell it as QMPlay2. However, from my own tests, these players work with small case spelling: clementine, audacious, pragha.

The python script used to extract the information is already being used in the MX conky collection. See the MX-Bridouz and MX-BBQDigital folders.


3. analogue clock

This does not actually use any Papirus icons. I just used colours that seemed Papirus-y to me. :happy:

I included blue and green variants.

Open the README file within to learn more about tweaking the clock further. The clock lua script is from damo who posted it in bunsenlabs forum.


You can download the archive file for all 3 here. Each conky is in its own folder, so you can extract whichever you want to the $HOME/.conky directory.
