It can't be fast.
The only problem with wttr.in is the night icons.
I haven't used it for a long time and I see that nothing has changed.

Thank you very much for the flowers.
You can forget about night icons.

^ It is also difficult to find the locations of cities when it is cloudy.
I'm sure you dream of the commands voffset, goto... at night.

But for something to end, it must first begin.
Knowledge and persistence always give a good result.

I know you spent a lot of time, but now you can enjoy your new/old conky.

Please, don't ask me how I know?

I'll probably have to do that too. But I'm glad I managed it without any ‘shuffling’ for now.
If you want to improve Conky, go ahead. :D

I have a separate conky that does nothing but get the data from wttr.in and saves the data in 3 files.
The the conky in question simply calls the data from there.

wttr.in/wttr.world.conky

Yes.

Try playing with the settings in the configuration for better text alignment:

border_inner_margin 	Inner border margin in pixels (the margin between the border and text).

border_outer_margin 	Outer border margin in pixels (the margin between the border and the edge of the window).

loutch · 2025-10-17 09:09:15

Hello

Does not work correctly.

border_inner_margin only takes into account the top border, but not the left border.

same with border_outer_margin

alignc only works with the first line.

That's why I used these two maps to make it easier to determine position.

https://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/i … 0x1800.png
I'm past the age of dreaming about that. What goes through my mind before I fall asleep in such cases is how I could make my work more effective and easier for me in such configurations.

Thank you very much for your kind words.

PS: Beer mugs haven't been around here for a long time (except for Oktoberfest, whose “thin beer” I don't like anyway).

marens · 2025-10-17 15:52:20

@loutch

OK.
A different approach is needed.

I created a quote script in HOME:

#!/bin/bash

  curl -s "https://www.calendarlabs.com/today/" | grep '<p>' | sed '3q;d' | sed 's/<p>//' | sed 's/<\/p>//' | sed 's/^[ \t]*//' > $HOME/citation_en

  sed -n '1p'  $HOME/citation_en | trans -brief :fr > $HOME/citation_fr

  curl -s "https://www.calendarlabs.com/today/" | grep '<strong>' | sed '2q;d' | sed 's/^[ \t]*//' | awk -F'</strong>' '{print $1}' | sed 's/<div class="quote-auth"><strong>//' > $HOME/author

Conky (border_inner_margin 10):

${texeci 3600 $HOME/quote}${alignc}Citation du jour

${alignc}${color DADADA}${texeci 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/citation_fr | fmt -w 30 | sed -n '1p'}
${alignc}${texeci 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/citation_fr | fmt -w 30 | sed -n '2p'}
${alignc}${texeci 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/citation_fr | fmt -w 30 | sed -n '3p'}
${alignc}${texeci 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/citation_fr | fmt -w 30 | sed -n '4p'}
${alignc}${texeci 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/citation_fr | fmt -w 30 | sed -n '5p'}
${alignc}${texeci 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/citation_fr | fmt -w 30 | sed -n '6p'}
${alignc}${texeci 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/author}

No problem.

And the moon script too.

I think another slightly smaller image was added as a mask over the main one.
The mask has high transparency, but leaves a nice effect on the edges (borders).

I created a similar image mask.png (256x256) using Inkscape and you can add it to the end of conky:
https://i.postimg.cc/nL9g2qy1/mask.png

Just adjust the mask size you need.

Nice idea.
If I remember correctly, we did that back then with the weather service ‘weather-com’, which has since been discontinued.

@Sector11 works here with another trick from Bord-Mittel in the conky configuration (which, according to my tests, only works with conky1.9).
Remember, the image is 1600x887. https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 87#p145887

The decisive factors are

minimum_size 1600 887	### w|h
maximum_width 1601	### w
...
draw_borders no
stippled_borders 0
border_inner_margin 0
border_outer_margin 0
border_width 0
draw_graph_borders no
#default_graph_size 15 40
...
 lua_draw_hook_pre draw_bg 0 5 6 1601 888 0x000000 0.2
...

If take that into account in the lua script...

 0             corner_radius
 0             x_position
 0             y_position
 0             width
 0             height
 0x000000      color
 0.4           alpha

In the meantime, I have solved the problem with the border and the colors of the day change as follows

PS. I haven't waited for Honolulu yet...

Hello

@ unklar

Gute Arbeit

Good work

@ marens

I need your help again.

I can't find in this script how to modify the rounding so that the image fits properly in the frame on Conky.

script

#!/bin/bash

file_exists() {
    if [ -e "$1" ]; then
        return 0
    else
        return 1
    fi
}

tailledecoupe_ir2=692x692

#Annotation pour vérifier si l'image est actualisée ##HelveticaLTStd-BlkCond

libelle=""
TXT=${PREFIX}updated.png

adrS="https://modeles20.meteociel.fr/satellite/latestsatviscolmtgeu.png"

wget -qO "${RSAT}" "${adrS}"

convert ${RSAT} -filter Lanczos -crop $tailledecoupe_ir2+31+75\! ${RSAT}.png

convert ${RSAT}.png -resize ${tailleRSAT}% ${RSAT}.png

        \( +clone -flop \) -compose Multiply -composite \
     \) -alpha off -compose CopyOpacity -composite ${RSAT}.png

convert $RSAT.png  -background  black \( +clone -shadow 70x4+4+4 \) +swap -background none -flatten ${OUTPUT}

composite -geometry +35+10 ${TXT} ${OUTPUT} ${OUTPUT}

if file_exists "${HOME}"/.conky/Tahoe/sat/radar-sat-*; then
    rm "${HOME}"/.conky/Tahoe/sat/radar-sat-* "${RSAT}" "${RSAT}.png"
else
    rm "${RSAT}" "${RSAT}.png"
fi

exit

It's not urgent.

Tanks.

RE

I found it and remembered your script for Radiotray_NG to get the cover with rounded edges, so I just added this by changing the image path.

Done this

^ Yes.

You can also use album_art.png instead of a satellite image.

Today's quote is too long.
You can move it to the right side of the desktop (above the Mandriva logo).
Use the same width as other conkys on the right and the same height as on the left.

P.S.
I prefer to add colors to the conkys.
It's free.

marens · 2025-10-19 14:25:40

@unklar

It looks nice.

Check the bottom outer line.
There is no empty space between the image and the outer line.

I know that there has never been empty space. Not even in 2017. And I don't know why.

Merci beaucoup, @loutch, pour le lien.

Malheureusement, l'horloge avec ses 5 (!) scripts lua ne fonctionne pas ici sous Carbon. J'ai d'autres systèmes d'exploitation, je vais voir.

Thanks, @loutch, for the link.

Unfortunately, the clock with its 5(!) lua scripts doesn't work here under Carbon. I have other operating systems, so I'll take a look.
