Awesome.

I don't mean the floods, but the way you found a solution.

@asqwerth

Try this in tad-conky (High and Low part):

${goto 100}${color ff8080}High and Low:${color}  ${execpi 90 sed -n '1p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/temperatures}  °C
${execpi 90 sed -n '1p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_and_phrase | sed 's/[^ ]* *//' | sed 's/\.*$//' | sed -e 's/\./\n/g' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//g' | { N=24; perl -pe "s/^/' 'x$N/e" ; } | sed 's/.*/&./'}

Just set 'N=24' to get proper spacing at the beginning.

This is what it looks like in the terminal:

$ sed -n '1p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_and_phrase | sed 's/[^ ]* *//' | sed 's/\.*$//' | sed -e 's/\./\n/g' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//g' | { N=24; perl -pe "s/^/' 'x$N/e" ; } | sed 's/.*/&./'
                        Sprinkles late.
                        Overcast.

EDIT
My tad-conky is now much more compact.

The cut or "fmt -w XX" commands are no longer needed.
Everything is done in one line of code, the output is the same as on the website and the result is perfect alignment.

I think you were a little hasty with your assumption. That's why I wrote: 'the accuweather script I use and the conkyrc'.

I activated the link again. You are welcome to take a look at the script.

Hello

I don't understand, for me in my AccuWeather Conky and script, Marens is clearly mentioned.

${execi 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/marens_hourly/time}\

in the script

#### Marens Hourly

#Time
        cat $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/hourly | grep -A 1 'class="date"' | grep 'div' | sed 's/^[ \t]*//' | sed -r 's/.{5}//' | sed -r 's/.{6}$//' > $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/marens_hourly/time

This is my first accuweather script fix and of course I found it in "your" script:

I won't waste time looking for more.
I also know why your Sun/Moon part doesn't work.

But the script is "yours" and my name is not mentioned anywhere and let it stay that way.

Just a few posts before my first fix to the accuweather script, some people reported that the script was not working.
Who are these people?
@weatherman, @morfik and @UNKLAR.

@morfik's screenshot from that time shows that the current conditions section is unusable.

@unklar, you copied/pasted my fix and now (about three years later) you say:

Just one link is enough.

Thanks in advance.

@loutch

I looked at your screenshot here:
https://imgbox.com/oAZLr2Lo

This line (script) at the beginning is unnecessary:

date +%T > $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/actualization

It just wastes resources.

It is much better to use the same command in conky:

${texeci 600 date +%T}

You can now also remove the file ~/Accuweather_conky_script/actualization.

Interesting code. It works on my 2-day weather condition text (with ${goto xx} command removed for that line and N set to 14). However, when I tried both this code and the fmt command on the "now" file for the current weather (I was using | cut ....) , the first word was not displayed.

Meanwhile, for anyone who's interested, here is a link to the Weather Underground icons (with some modifications and additions) renamed to work with the T_A_D script.

https://workupload.com/file/yKC7X3j5J4v

Disclaimer and notes:
1. original icons were included as part of the Weather Underground script by TBG.
2. previously I had modified a few icons so I could use the set with openweathermap conkies. For T_A_D, I modified a few more. The modded icons are pretty rough when magnified as my GIMP skills are limited. However, at the normal size of weather conky icons, they should be passable.
3. I borrowed a few icons from other places. For example, wt-10 and 32 are from the original T_A_D icons

You could replace the icons in the "tad-icons" subdirectory with these icons, but I prefer to rename that sub-directory as "tad-icons-old" and then rename the WU icon subdirectory as "tad-icons". That way I can switch between the 2 icon sets.

Very nice.

I added your icons as tad-icons-WU and modified the TAD script (in 3 places).
The result is excellent.

Yes.
A small code change is required.

Terminal:

$ echo 'Partly sunny. Light rain' | sed -e 's/\./\n/g' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//g' | { N=24; perl -pe "s/^/' 'x$N/e" ; } | sed 's/.*/&./'
                        Partly sunny.
                        Light rain.

Conky:

${execpi 90 sed -n '4p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/now | sed -e 's/\./\n/g' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//g' | { N=24; perl -pe "s/^/' 'x$N/e" ; } | sed 's/.*/&./'}

I like to show Saturday and Sunday in red.
This is what it looks like in my tad-conky (day_1):

${if_match "${execi 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date | awk '{print $1}'}" == "Sat"}${color ff8080}\
${else}\
${if_match "${execi 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date | awk '{print $1}'}" == "Sun"}${color ff8080}\
${else}${color 48bcff}${endif}${endif}\
${execpi 90 sed -n '1p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date}${color}

marens · 2025-11-29 02:35:40

@asqwerth

I think I managed to improve the ## Daily Date + Phrase - Next 7 Days section.
Instead of seven cat commands, just one is enough.

First, make a copy of the TAD script, then replace the entire section with:

## Daily Date + Phrase - Next 7 Days

cat $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/weather_raw | grep -o '[ ^]src="//c.tadst.com/gfx/w/svg[^ ]*' | sed -n '19,25p' | sed 's/ src="/https:/' | sed 's/.$//' | awk -F'svg/' '{print $2}' | sed 's/svg/png/' > $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/images

  j=1
                       
    for (( i=1; i<=7; i+=1 ))
			
      do
		    	
        cp $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/tad-icons/$(sed -n ${i}p $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/images) $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/day_$j.png
    
  ((j++))
  
  done

EDIT
Your tad-icons-WU looks great so far.
Also, Saturday and Sunday are shown in red.

@marens, just a note that in order for the Sat/Sun code to work for me, I had to add the comma that comes after the day of the week in the "date" file --

${if_match "${execi 600 sed -n '2p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date | awk '{print $1}'}" == "Sat,"}${color FFFF00}\

Did I overlook you changing your tad script to remove the comma?

It was not my intention at all to display sun/moon or hourly weather data in this Conky. That's why I chose a script from TBG that came closest to these ideas.
If this goes against “your ideas,” I apologize and wish you health.

marens · 2025-11-29 12:52:21

@asqwerth

Yes.

I mentioned that the data listed in the "date" file is local and varies from country to country.
I had to translate everything into English.

If you want, the comma can be easily removed:

$ echo 'Sat, 29 Nov' | sed s'/,//'
Sat 29 Nov

@TBG hasn't been here in a long time and there is no accuweather script that works without my (and @il.harun's) fixes.
