@unklar: lately I've been searching my conky backup folder for the conkyrc that belongs to above widget (which uses rings-v1.3.1.lua, right?) but to no avail...
I'd be very grateful if you could share your conky configuration.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Awesome stuff unklar.
I'm still a conky 1.9er on Debian Old Stable.
Must upgrade someday.
But it seems to me that newer these days doesn't necessarily mean better.

Yes, it is v1.3.1.lua.
This is one of the Conky's that I found on the internet at some point, saved and forgot about.
I don't even know who the author is.

You can find the files here: https://workupload.com/file/Y4k7cSbadVA

Yes, I know my friend...
Stick with the 1.9's. Knowing you, you would be outraged by this nonsense

  * old configuration syntax

annoy.
It doesn't correspond to the facts. 1.10 cannot handle the syntax of 1.9. It still refuses to serve.

I dug up another Conky with text.lua from the archive. This is from @molnar based on the 'conky-system-lua-v3'.
I had never used it before. It uses 8 CPU's. I only have 4.
It's amazing how easy it is to configure text.lua once you get the hang of it. (conky -v1.22.3)

Audacious-stream-conky

Majestic Jukebox Radio ( Oldies )

The Mamas & The Papas - Dream a little dream of me

I completely forgot about this conky because I mostly listen to RadioTray-NG.

Audacious has a customized skin, and conky is in the middle.
First I created a background (with mtpaint) that looks like Audacious, and then thanks to a modified radiotray-ng script I got the album cover.

^ I'm glad you finally found a version of Conky that supports mouse events.

I'm using Audacious with a changed skin and all buttons are clickable.
I made audacious conky in the same style (Winamp) and inserted it in the middle.
Most would think it was an original piece of Audacious.

It really looks very convincing.

P.S.
If anyone wants more details about Audacious skins, they can find them here:

^Very nice!
However, this is all too small for me.
On all systems, Audacious is now my favorite in this configuration.

No mouse event for my version of Conky , workaround using xdotool & xinput.

^ Yes.
I see now.

Only the coordinates of the buttons inside conky relative to the top left corner of the window (audacious_conky) are needed (WX, WY and REL_X, REL_Y).

Great job as always.
