Description Featured: linux-lounge.deviantart.com/jo…

A new Conky I made based on my old version: xexpanderx.deviantart.com/art/…

Features
* Customization options. See "settings.lua".

* Displays battery status.
* Displays free space on as many drive/folders you like. Simply add new drives/folders in the configuration section.
* Displays CPU usage.
* Displays RAM usage.


Installation
(1) Extract the Zip-file to your ~/.conky/ directory. If ~/.conky does not exist, create it.

(2 - OPTIONAL) Edit "settings.lua" and change the parameters in the "USER CONFIGURATION" - section to fit your customization needs.

(3) In each folder for each conky you start it by:
    conky -c CONKY_FILE

(4) Hopefully, enjoy!

ToDo List:
Cleaning the code! Right now the code is a mess.

Hi, you can only have following position for the conky: Bottom, Top, Left or Right of the screen.


Changing the "widgets" manually at other positions, then you need to change the lua code.

Hi! How can I change drive / to swap?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

xeXpanderx In reply to GDRoman [2017-08-17 14:23:52 +0000 UTC]

in "settings.lua" set the proper value in

drive_paths = {"/home", "/"}

change "/" to your swap partition, in my case it is "/dev/sda1", so it would look like this:

drive_paths = {"/home", "/dev/sda1"}

If you dont know where your swap is, you can find it through "sudo fdisk -l".

Maybe you want to change the name as well, check the line:

drive_names = {"Home", "Root"}

In my case it would look like:

drive_names = {"Home", "Swap"}

GDRoman In reply to xeXpanderx [2017-08-17 14:51:20 +0000 UTC]

/dev/sda2 - swap
Set drive_paths = {"/home", "/dev/sda2"}
and it doesn't work for me. Constantly shows 100% regardless of the content.
Try it for yourself. Anyway, thank you for the excellent widget.

Compare that with htop. It works for me, have you maximized your memory so swap kicks in?

Hi It's me again!

Can you please add a volume indicator to all your configs please, I have attempted myself and failed miserably.

Yeah, it does not seem to be that easy, I have to figure out a universal code that works for the majority of the users. But right now, this is on hold. I have recently bought a house, so I have to do some theming of my house first

I can create a new widget for that. I will take a look into this

Sorry, I meant this one: www.dropbox.com/s/kvh5g1522dks…

Replace your current "setttings.lua" with that one from my dropbox. Ignore the link below. This is for the circle horizontal version.

If I wanted to change the disk free % to disk used %, what configuration would I need to change?

xeXpanderx In reply to sagarakun [2017-01-19 08:00:15 +0000 UTC]

That configuration is not implemented, you have to change the code. Thx for the suggestion, I will add this as an option.

Wow, this is a pretty slick conky, kudos!

Is there a way to change the hard drive icons? the house makes sense for /home. But a different icon for other partitions would be nice. Can this be done?

Can't wait to see what you come up with for network up/down statistics

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

xeXpanderx In reply to sagarakun [2017-01-19 08:05:05 +0000 UTC]

This is a beast. The idea was to be able to use several drives, then it is easier to stick with one consistent icon and only use a text as the distinctive part. Otherwise, it is difficult to change "the icon", because basically the icon is made by pure lua code. But I may have to rethink here, maybe use one "Home" icon and one other icon for the rest of the drives.

Thanks for the suggestions!

sagarakun In reply to xeXpanderx [2017-01-25 03:46:27 +0000 UTC]

I went through the LUA code and I see what you mean.  I praise your home icon art work with pure code.

A home icon and a generic disc icon would be great for your next release.

Got to say I commend you LUA drawing creativity!

Thanks. It is a software specifically written for Linux, showing different kind of information about the system, such as CPU usage, RAM usage e.t.c. See here: github.com/brndnmtthws/conky
