Show us your conky

If someone, like me, has been failing for a long time due to this error message from @mpeachy's allcombined.lua script...

conky: llua_do_call: function conky_gradbar execution failed: allcombined.lua:19: attempt to call a nil value (global 'loadstring')

The solution is that with lua5.2 the loadstring was changed to load.
So, look for it and change it.

unklar I'm sure mrpeachy would be very proud of you.
It's nice to know his scripts still live on.

I'm not sure what you mean.
I don't know the font of the logo.
It's not "labwcmoon.ttf" as you can see from this comparison.

I generally get something like this from sites like this when I browse.

“meska-conky” for BL-Carbon (adapted from the Arch Linux forum with calendar, weather, and moon)
Now includes:

- Calendar (cal.lua) (if you prefer the week to start on Sunday = change line 32 accordingly)

- @maren's tad-script (shows only today and the next 3 days). Please copy to ~/. Change your city in the script.

- Moongiant_conky_script (with configurations by @Sector11, @TBG, and me). Copy the directory to ~/.conky

- meska-conky (with the FiraMono / neuropolitical fonts and the cal.lua / draw-bg.lua scripts). Also copy to ~/.conky and make the system “aware” of the fonts.

If you're running BL with picom, you can leave the conkyrc as is. If you're not using picom, you'll need to adjust the conkyrc configuration accordingly using draw-bg.lua.

Simple Calendar

I've never made a calendar conky.
Mostly all OS have a clock extension/applet/plugin with an integrated calendar in the panel.

A google search for 'conky simple calendar' directed me to the BL forums:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=5986

I really got what I was looking for, but I had to play around a bit and add something of my own.
Monday is always the first day of the week and that was easy to set, then I added an image (header.png) to the title.
I wanted the current day to be colored 'yellow/gold' the same as the current date except Saturday (light blue) and Sunday (light red),

Working days:

Non-working days:

New month (and radiotray-ng conky above):

Maybe the 'simple calendar conky' is less simple now, but it looks good to me.

In the configuration I set the maximum_width to 180, and the default_color is DADADA.
This is the TEXT section:

${voffset 2}${alignc}${font Mono:size=11}${color fedf08}${texeci 600 date +'%b %Y'}${color}

I almost forgot, you need the header.png image inside the ~/.conky folder:

The game is over.

olgmen_scale conky from April 2010. Author is Boris Krinkel alias @olgmen
https://workupload.com/file/PTzwk97Zyej
In this archive I have packed the original archive with the syntax 1.9 of the Conky configuration.

The time shown is; calendar day; Temperature of the first two CPUs;
percent utilization; Frequency, as well as down and up.
The 'request to take a break because I've been sitting at the computer for over 2 hours' flashes red.

Starting with Syntax 1.10, I also changed a few things in the lua script:

require 'cairo_xlib'

added for today's needs

colorred=0
colorgreen=1
colorblue=0
coloralpha=1

for the colors in the --circlewriting variables. I also wanted to have gray / silver (colorgray=1), which doesn't work. This probably has to be specified above in the Lua script.

Switch the device files (hwmon4 - hwmon5). Since it also does this in the lua script,

${exec expr `cat /sys/bus/platform/devices/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon5/temp1_input` / 1000}

I failed with the *simpler method* (if / else) in conkyrc.

@ceeslans, do your best as I'm too old for lua.

olgmen_scale conky from April 2010. Author is Boris Krinkel alias @olgmen

Ooooo Must take a look!
I see he used, what looks like, mobilediesel's week script. EDIT: YUP.
I have 12 versions (tweaks) of that script.

Not familiar with olgmen's work but wlouf and mrpeachy were GENIUSES.

Thank you unklar
