Conky Configs

[White Demon]

Is there a config setting to outputting to a file?


I'm currently charging my Pandora and have been noticing the charging at level slowly dropping after it reached 63%, and wanted to be able to record the charging at level to a file for later reference.

I've gotten my sd card to show up in the conky menu


But my actual desktop icons like in "pandora -> desktop -> Firefox, psxrearmed


Those do not show up unless I highlight them/select them. Then they disappear when de-selected/highlighted

Type this before TEXT:

own_window yes


own_window_type desktop

i'll try it out when I get home
Thanks for the help and patience


EDIT: tried it and this is my home screen now


tried to edit it a few different ways didn't really change anything

EDIT EDIT: added "own_window_transparent yes" no luck in getting the desktop icons to show up - does let my background show through now tho

The problem is the way the conky window is configured - 'tis too big. Here is my conky.conf file, which allows desktop icons to show:

alignment top_left

background no

border_width 1

cpu_avg_samples 2

default_color white

default_outline_color white

default_shade_color white

draw_borders no

draw_graph_borders yes

draw_outline no

draw_shades no

use_xft yes

xftfont DejaVu Sans Mono:size=12

gap_x 580

gap_y 25

minimum_size 5 5

maximum_width 500

net_avg_samples 2

no_buffers yes

out_to_console no

out_to_stderr no

extra_newline no

own_window yes

own_window_class Conky

 

own_window_type desktop

own_window_transparent yes

duble_buffer yes

stippled_borders 0

update_interval 5.0

uppercase no

use_spacer none

show_graph_scale no

show_graph_range no

I've stolen various bits of other configurations in this thread and added a few of my own (there is a USB status in there that I figured out from looking at the toggle usb shell script). Hope this helps.
