Conky TAD script

sleekmason · 2025-10-24 16:04:02

@marens Hello and good day!

It looks good, but the Dew Point (line 8) is gone or did you remove it?
I don't know what happened but I tried to extract it from your weather_raw file again.

Yep. I figured you had just left the blank line removal out, along with the extra '%' in the humidity line, so removed both. One with a simple sed removal line, and the other through adjustment. I was unaware of the dew point display, and thought you just left a blank line. I'll need to adjust it further when I get a chance I guess.

the images should look something like this:

In order for my conky to look like yours, I will need your conky.conf. I do not know where that is located. Looked through the previous pages a bit but didn't see where you linked to it, or indicated where it could be found.

Lots of people don't like sharing, so I don't bother asking anymore. The original moon script doesn't look like yours either.

The illuminated part of the Moon should be at the same tilt as in conky (or in the sky).

If you look at the screenshot I provided in the post from yesterday, you will see that the moons have a angled line for the indication. Is that supposed to be there?

Then, in this screenshot below, the borders around the moons are off. The images are not smooth.

Thanks for all your help, but please don't worry about this any longer. I've spent enough of your time, and have other items that need attention as well. I'll do more when I get a chance.

I'm more interested in scripts than conky.

I love @TBG's work, but I always make conky my own way.
I don't have conky-all installed and I'm still using the old syntax.
That's why I never share configuration, only TEXT.

I managed to find my post from two years ago:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 47#p129047

I really don't know why your images of the Moon look different?
Please check the Moongiant_conky_script folder.

I know @unklar sometimes uses a similar conky as you and will definitely know what's wrong.

Conky tad script

The script has been improved tonight.
The icons are better converted and are located in the tad-icons folder.

You can download the folder here:
https://workupload.com/file/BsqSChFWxse

1) Right-click on the file ~/Downloads/tad-icons.tar.xz > Extract Here

2) Copy ~/Downloads/tad-icons and paste inside the time_and_date_conky_script folder

3) Open the tad script and replace the lines:

day_0=$(sed -n '1p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/images)

curl -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0' -s -o $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/0.png "$day_0"

convert $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/0.png -transparent white $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/0.png

with:

day_0=$(sed -n '1p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/images | awk -F'svg/' '{print $2}' | sed 's/svg/png/')

cp $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/tad-icons/$day_0 $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/0.png

Done.

OK.

The game is over.
I think I have a forecast for the next 7 days.

Note *
First look at the post above

Find the last line of the tad script:

> $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/images

Then add below:

Run the script once in the terminal:

Please check the Moongiant_conky_script folder.

Thank you for sharing your latest link. More fun stuff to try in the future.

As far as the moons go, commenting out 'More Yellow Moon Images' in favor of 'Old Moon Images', and keeping your nifty script changes in Moongiant took care of the artifact issue and now everything is working really well:)

@sleekmason

I'm glad it works now and that you located the 'problem'.
Both convert (ImageMagick) commands are very similar and I don't know why the second one doesn't work for you:

#Images 
for szFile in $HOME/Moongiant_conky_script/*.png
do
#    convert "$szFile" -background 'none' -virtual-pixel 'none' -distort SRT $illumination_angle $HOME/Moongiant_conky_script/"$(basename "$szFile")" ;

#More Yellow  
    convert "$szFile" -background 'none' -virtual-pixel 'none' +level-colors ,#ddd480 -distort SRT $illumination_angle $HOME/Moongiant_conky_script/"$(basename "$szFile")" ; 

done

Rumor has it that November weather has been swapped with October weather.
Just kidding.
---------------
I have two errors:
1. “0.png” has been displayed correctly in Thunar (I think) from the beginning. In the configuration, I always have the impression that it is not being updated.
I have tried the command in various places—no change.

${image $HOME/timeanddate_conky_script/0.png -p 50,280 -s 60x60}

2. After the changes you suggested a few days ago (@sleekmason), “now” shows me this

Temperature: 10 °C

Forecast: 9 / 4 °C
Light rain. Partly sunny

At the moment, I'm using the cut command to exclude the “°C”.

I know, right? I will have some checking to do there. In the end, I probably still wont use the "more yellow" moons, but I sure would like having the option. When I figure the issue out, I'll post the solution here.

@unklar

1) You forgot to set imlib_cache_size to 0 or restart conky.
2) Give me 5 lines of code above the line:

Of course.
There is no pressure here to do something immediately.

imlib_cache was not included in this particular Conky.

This happens to 'young guys' like us.

Last night I was working on an hourly forecast and trying to figure out why the date command wasn't working properly.
This morning my wife asked me if I had set the clock because daylight saving time is over.

Excuse me? Not sure what the **** you are talking about. Get a grip. I can do, or not do whatever I feel like.
First off, I don't have any issues with the "code" It's all easy enough to understand.

If you actually followed the discussion, you would see that our exchange was about his old conky with the old format that I could not locate within the thread. He explained it, and we were done.

The only issue I had was with the second convert command not allowing proper transparency without artifacts. This too you would know if you actually read the posts instead of silly attacks on things I write. Arrogance is not a virtue.

It's posts like yours that drive people away.
