I started playing with conky today and came up with a simple setup like this, I hope other will paste their config files, and discuss inprovements so we can make nice desktops.

Nice, I'll post mine up later, it's a butchered one from a pre made setup, and it works with my current background perfectly too.
 
I like the look of this, it looks like it's highly customisable then too. I'd like to see more styles.


Wallpaper is neon
 
I've got the battery bar to work, we could do with a page with pandora specific cocky items, such as the battery bar or the clock speed display (I had a lot of trouble with my config as I just butchered other people's attempts, I tried to add a time remaining display but couldn't).


I'll upload my (very messy) config in a minute as my pandora is out of battery right now.

sorry its so messy. Also, my clock seems to be out by a lot after a short amount of time hence the odd time in the pic.

To be honest I don't know what it contains, I just took apart and planted in things to a config that already had it.


And thank you :) I need to get round to finding a red and green mouse icon that doesn't have the white background, I have conky, WBar and ABMouse on autostart but some things like The snes emulator don't play ball with ABMouse so I have enable and disable on the bar.


I use an old MacBook so the setup looks pretty close to OSX
 
A while ago I tested some available Configs but even if the look was changed, I never got the graphs working or displaying CPU Speed or Network. Does Conky require admin rights or what's the trick?

you need to change to what your wlan fefers to, mine is wlan0, $cpu and $cpubar sould work. to wiev sd cards you need to change the path and name of your cards, ex. ${execbar df -h | grep "/media/YOURCARDNAME" | awk '{ printf "%s", $5 }' }


The gap_x, gap_y desides where conky is displayed on screen. i prefer the ${offset } command. i find it easyer


Note, what you find working for laptops and other computers may warry from pandora.


Some info that may help:


- http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html


- http://conky.sourceforge.net/config_settings.html

I didn't find those links helped that much for me, which is why I suggested something for pandora specific conky commands.


I butchered mine together I really should neaten it up.

There are no 'Pandora specific' commands for conky. There are only conky commands that will work on any computer with conky installed.


There is a *huge* thread here all about conky complete with screenshots and different setups you can try:


http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865


I know it's for Ubuntu, but that doesn't really matter, just decide how big you want your conky window, decide where on the screeen you want to place it and then fiddle around with the variables.


Here is a link to how my desktop looked a while ago, I can post the config files if anyone is interested.


http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6398899&postcount=5064


A couple of random links to show off other peoples desktops too.


http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/tag/conky/


http://www.linuxhaxor.net/8-beautiful-conky-desktop-monitor-setup/


I did start to write a wiki page for conky, now that people are getting Pandoras and I might even get mine soon maybe I should get back to it.
 
the file found in sys/class/net/wlan0/wireless/link seems to react to signal strenght of the wlan network


So.. i opened the path in terminal and came up with a code like this:


${execbar cat /sys/devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.2/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:0001/mmc2:0001:1/net/wlan0/wireless/link}


It works, it reacts on signal strenght, but however i dont seem to get 100 % even tho im standing next to rooter.


It seems like for me it dumps 66, 67 in the link file at maximum.
