Transparent conky

Left: No Media
Right: MPD switch, shorter weather info [% works fine for mp3's - bugy for radio ...]

modified: (Conky-Colors)

phill1978 · 10 Sep 2011 at 13:02

installed conky on mint 11 but cant find how to launch it?

richthomuk · 10 Sep 2011 at 13:38

just hit alt+F2 and type in Conky

phill1978 · 10 Sep 2011 at 18:43

yes that worked thanks a lot

phill1978 · 10 Sep 2011 at 18:48

ok sorry to be a pain i tried looking for .conkyrc in bin folder? found conky program file but cant seem to find out how to edit in gedit

richthomuk · 10 Sep 2011 at 19:37

you can create your own .conkyrc file and just save it in your home folder, you can find scripts online or take them from here and just use them to mess with and learn.

Grimbough · 10 Sep 2011 at 19:40

The default location for your .conkyrc file is your home directory.

You can then just do

Code:

gedit ~/.conkyrc

from the terminal

BusError · 12 Sep 2011 at 16:21

I tried conky a few times, and every time remove it when I realize it actually eats a lot of CPU just being there. On the other hand gkrellm is not as good looking, but is very lightweight and almost never show in in top...

Niju Rosu · 12 Sep 2011 at 16:36

How often are you refreshing your conky? Mine refreshes every second and it's nowhere near my top processes.

Also, I'll get round to posting mine once I've got it organised.

richthomuk · 27 Oct 2014 at 16:14

Only just started after installing Mint 17 today. Still got loads to play around with to get it right

bledd · 27 Oct 2014 at 18:29

I'm sure I previously saw the conky icon with this guys face on it..

Still need to sort out the CPU temps properly

Very nice mate, am I to assume you run a linux desktop at work? You are more hardcore than I!!

mortals · 4 Nov 2014 at 15:00

My conky is very minimal since moving to i3wm as I hardly ever see the desktop. (conky is running on the i3bar at top of screen)

conky config:
