Conky again… :)

Replying to the comment to the post I let myself to post my .conkyrc here (with the new screenshot- LOL).

It seems that people like it. Well – I am the fan of conky, too.

I have to mention here – that the conky is originally based on the work of lyrea submitted to gnome-look.org and you can find it here:

 http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Fawn?content=58426

So here it goes:

.conkyrc

#avoid flicker
double_buffer yes

#own window to run simultanious 2 or more conkys
own_window  yes
own_window_transparent no
own_window_type normal
own_window_hints undecorate,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

#borders
draw_borders no
border_margin 1

#shades
draw_shades no

#position
gap_x 6
gap_y 6
alignment top_left

#behaviour
update_interval 1

#colour
default_color  6d6d6d

#default_shade_color 000000
own_window_colour 303030

#font
use_xft yes
xftfont proggyclean:pixelsize=11

#to prevent window from moving
use_spacer no
minimum_size 1262 0

#mpd

There are few scripts used here, as you can see. And here they go:

hddt_conky.sh

 #!/bin/bash
echo “$(nc localhost 7634 | cut -d’|’ -f4)”
