Ultimate Edition Forum

I have spent time writing should I say re-writing the conky-builder script.

I have been playing with the idea of GUI'ing it as well as writing a plymouth selector. The plymouth selector I have all ready created in c, but is currently terminal based, I am not satisfied with. I do not expect my users to have to resort to a terminal. I will robust it, time permitting, will not make it in Ultimate Edition 2.8.

This will make it to 2.8:

Funny, I have began to think of other O/S's, what am I thinking there? My job should only be my O/S right? I am here to help, please learn. I have spent a lifetime educating ppl. I really wish I had the time to do so individually. I am one man. I enjoy the ability to educate many at a time.

If what I am looking at turns out we will be seeing tons of education coming from me in the area of programming. Not the kiddie script as seen above.

Not all users are keen to hex, I am going to try and help. #000000 = black, #FFFFFF = white, degrees of colors are done in the following fashion #RRGGBB. Red Green and blue well 2 slots for red 99 must be the highest number right? Not in hex 0a is your 100, 0b is your 101 feel me FF is your 255.

I would not have added that, but I educated the house on colors and hexidecimal. It should not be something I expect ppl to know. I hang out with smart ppl, they tell me when I should tell you things like that, perhaps too smart for my own good.

Einstein had ppl tell him when it was time to rest. Good night. I will build 2.8 tomorrow. Funny, once again it has been discussed. I can and have built an O/S in minutes, takes days before I am recognized.

Disrowatch does not accept me, until I drop final, it is coming. I am betting it is done locally tomorrow. A few days uploading followed through with a few days on the 64 and off the hook. If I had highspeed up Ubuntu would have a stroke.

I will not rob my admin they will have final say-so.

EDIT 01/09/11:
I thought I would come back and update the source with the "newest version" it has lua support, font size autoscaling, color selection & icons. The only part you should have to edit if at all is the top portion:

Background by londonali1010 (2009)

This script draws a background to the Conky window. It covers the whole of the Conky window, but you can specify rounded corners, if you wish.

To call this script in Conky, use (assuming you have saved this script to ~/scripts/):
   lua_load ~/.scripts/draw_bg.lua
   lua_draw_hook_pre draw_bg

Changelog:
+ v1.0 -- Original release (07.10.2009)

-- Change these settings to affect your background.
-- "corner_r" is the radius, in pixels, of the rounded corners. If you don't want rounded corners, use 0.

corner_r=20

-- Set the colour and transparency (alpha) of your background.

bg_colour=0x4D4D4D
bg_alpha=0.40

Very nice I have adjusted the width from 320 to 220 but I need to know how to adjust the length ! It runs past the bottom of the screen. Other than that very nice!

It's becoming better and better always.Very good work Thee.
JOHNNYG,I have been asking myself the same thing for long time ago.I tried to choose a smaller font also but no success yet.

Johnny G and M. Stanca,:



Pssstt.....





Try confabulationg with these variables:


own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
double_buffer yes
draw_shades yes
draw_outline no
draw_borders no
draw_graph_borders no
minimum_size 320 5
maximum_width 320




which leads me to believe two things about the script:
A. Thee has a bigaaaaas screen.
B Thee has an ungodly RESolution



OBTW, I been busy studying stuff to contribute to the cause. heh heh heh *coough*

Thank you ixnod.Yeah,I know Thee has a bigga screen resolution/monitor.
Mine is still 1360x768,19 inch wide.

I still have what was a big monitor 5 years ago! 1280x1024! I can tweak it to 1440x990, but it gets tough to read! I am hoping Santa sends me a big monitor! So while conky will wait for awhile, I am playing with a script for my 2.6 home.

I am waiting patiently for 2.8! This week I hope.

I am chomping at the bit also, from what I understand, there will be some changes coming about in the next release. compatibility issues should soon be a thing of the past.

I already have space set aside to install U.E 2.8

I O I II I O I NEED My FIX!! Ge'me ge'me ge'me!!!

hmmmm.... there was someone that got an answer, but I can't find it. How do you start conky (and keep it running whe I restart my machine) in 2.8?

Hmmm. yea I have seen that ! and 2h2ft2 had the answer! But I'll give it a go! open system preferances>startup applications> add>then add "conky" to "name" and "conky" to command! close. logout and back in! to stop conky open terminal and type "killall conky" should do it!
