Add Clock To Default Conky Theme?

I like the simple Conky theme over on the right side of the desktop, which shows ram, cpu, shortcuts etc. Without getting too into the weeds with conky (which I am a total nooby to), how can I get a nice digital clock in there with the other stuff? And perhaps a basic weather app also?

I don't want to detract from the elegance of the desktop. So I'm leery of just downloading a them from Github. I just would like the clock and maybe the weather.

Thanks,

michael

Re: Add Clock To Default Conky Theme?

Well, your "nice digital clock" might be different for someone else.

First if you want a digital clock I'd suggest a "mono font" that has a 1 using the same space as a 0 or 2 for example.

LED_mono font is a font that only does numbers and : designed for digital clocks.

I use it like this:

${font LED_mono:size=65}${goto 00}${color1}88:88:88${goto 00}${color2}${time %T}${color}${font}
${font fira mono:medium:size=12}${alignc 12}${color2}\
${if_match ${time %H}<12}Good morning · Buen día${else}\
${if_match ${time %H}<18}Good afternoon · Buenas tardes${else}\
Good evening · Buenas noches${endif}${endif}

Re: Add Clock To Default Conky Theme?

On the default menu:

User Settings -> Conky -> Edit Conkys -> Default conyrc

This will start geany with the default conkyrc ready to edit. Scroll down until you see this line:

 conky.text = [[  

Code below that line is output. You want to use the "time" variable to include a clock. For example:

${time %I:%M %P}

will add a basic clock (at the end in this example)

"man date" in a terminal will show you all the time and date formats you can use.

You can use ${alignr} or ${alignc} to align the clock to the right or center respectively.

${alignc}${time %I:%M %P}

and Sector11 is correct, monospace fonts work best for clocks. So:

${font Monospace:size=11}${alignc}${time %_I:%M %P}${font}

Monospace font, centered clock at end of conky. The ending ${font} ends the monospace; anything after that will be the default sans.

For weather, have a look here - https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=189

Thanks Sector11 and PackRat, I'll see what I can do.

Re: Add Clock To Default Conky Theme?

OK. I got the clock going. I used 31 for the font, which gives a decent, but not absurd, size clock.

The weather thing is a lot more complicated, I'll need to really study up on that one. but for now at least I have the clock.

Re: Add Clock To Default Conky Theme?

In the default conky profiles there is the option 'BL-Right-lua-conky.conf' that gives  a reduced shortcut menu, a short system stats view, the calendar of the month and a 24-hour clock (instead of the 12-hour clock)

While obviously you can customize is all you want but if your lazy that is a great one IMHO

Thanks for the info walter. I decided however to "cheat" and just use Meteo. Installed it from Synaptic. fine for my needs. for in depth info, I use the NWS.

Re: Add Clock To Default Conky Theme?

I borrowed this conky-clock-date.conf from Lilidog.

It looks like "vertclock.lua" background function is not working.

AHA!
Change this:

-- own_window_transparent = true,
own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_argb_value = 0,

to this:

own_window_transparent = false,
own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_argb_value = 0,

and try it.

OR:
change to this:

own_window_transparent = true,
--own_window_argb_visual = true,
--own_window_argb_value = 0,

and try it.

I don't have conky v1.18 installed at the moment but just try those.

My test.conky window settings area:

## ---------- Begin Window Settings
own_window yes
own_window_type normal # normal desktop dock panel override
own_window_transparent yes # Set to "no" when using ARGB
own_window_hints skip_taskbar,skip_pager #,sticky #,below,undecorated
own_window_colour 000000
own_window_class Conky
own_window_title Sector11's Test Conky
## ARGB can be used for real transparency
## OJO: own_window_transparent MUST be set to no to use argb
#own_window_argb_visual yes ## Options: yes or no
## Valid range is 0-255, where 0 is 0% opacity, and 255 is 100% opacity.
#own_window_argb_value 80

no = false | yes = true

Re: Add Clock To Default Conky Theme?

Hmmmm Still doesn't seem to work

Try this: draw-bg.lua

--[[Background originally by londonali1010 (2009)
    ability to set any size for background mrpeachy 2011
    ability to set variables for bg in conkyrc dk75

  the change is that if you set width and/or height to 0
  then it assumes the width and/or height of the conky window

so:

Above and After TEXT  (requires a composite manager or it blinks!)

 lua_load /media/5/Conky/LUA/draw-bg.lua
 TEXT
 ${lua conky_draw_bg 10 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.2}

OR Both above TEXT (no composite manager required - no blinking!)

 lua_load /media/5/Conky/LUA/draw-bg.lua
 lua_draw_hook_pre draw_bg 10 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.2
 TEXT

Note
${lua conky_draw_bg 20 0 0 0 0 0x000000 0.2}
  See below:        1  2 3 4 5 6        7

${lua conky_draw_bg corner_radius x_position y_position width height color alpha}

covers the whole window and will change if you change the minimum_size setting

1 = 20            corner_radius
2 = 0             x_position l|r
3 = 0             y_position u|d
4 = 0             width
5 = 0             height
6 = 0x000000      color
7 = 0.4           alpha

--  -----  calendar function  -----

then to use it, you activate the calendar function BELOW TEXT like this

${lua luacal {settings}}

Re: Add Clock To Default Conky Theme?

Well, your "nice digital clock" might be different for someone else.

First if you want a digital clock I'd suggest a "mono font" that has a 1 using the same space as a 0 or 2 for example.

LED_mono font is a font that only does numbers and : designed for digital clocks.
https://i.ibb.co/wN0cYH8/2024-02-02-203642.jpg

I use it like this:

${font LED_mono:size=65}${goto 00}${color1}88:88:88${goto 00}${color2}${time %T}${color}${font}
${font fira mono:medium:size=12}${alignc 12}${color2}\
${if_match ${time %H}<12}Good morning · Buen día${else}\
${if_match ${time %H}<18}Good afternoon · Buenas tardes${else}\
Good evening · Buenas noches${endif}${endif}

Buena tu propuesta, yo la modifiqué un poco (no encontré la fuente LED_mono, usé  fira mono).
Así quedó

Re: Add Clock To Default Conky Theme?

esto no es 'fira mono' 
esto es 'LED_mono' 

this is not 'fira mono' 
this is 'LED_mono'

Like unklar said, this is LED_mono you are using for your "clock" at lease.  The "text" part looks to be fira mono thought.  If fira mono was used for the clock it would look like the lower one.

Como dijo Unklar, este es LED_mono que estás usando para tu "reloj" al menos. La parte "texto" parece ser un pensamiento "fira mono". Si se usara "fira mono" para el reloj se vería como el de abajo

Tenés razón, es que me marea esto, soy poco ducho en el tema y me lo paso probando y deshaciendo.
