Ha - I've wondered about that from time to time, myself. Good to know, in a pinch.
Merci beaucoup, sir!

Had conky 1.8.1 from archive.org Saluki repository running on Precise Puppy 5.7.1, and after uninstalling it and installing your 1.9 pet, everything worked perfectly.
Gonna have a look-see if this version has any nice new features.
Thanks!

Hi, solo.
Thanks for the positive report.
Don't get your hopes up regarding the features : you'll find that this conky compilation has very run-of-the-mill features!
BFN.

Here's a good tip on how to change the border colors of your graphs and bars:

Now, if you happen to have a wallpaper with a single color at the spot the conky graphs and bars are placed, you can make those borders disappear by making the borders match that color.

Hi, people.
Here is a more elegant take (hopefully!) on the conky switch!

Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
# conky-switch2.sh
# Codewise, this is more "elegant"! :-)

[ "`ps | awk '$4=="conky"'`" = "" ] && conky -c /root/.conky-1l-pek-haut || killall -q conky

# You may wish to colorize differently or play with the following
# icons to make yourself a nice icon for this conky-switch:
# /usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/mini-maxtall.xpm
# /usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/mini-maxwide.xpm
# Tip: save them as png pictures and make them 24 pixels wide
# before you work with them.

How did you get conky to display weather station?
Can I see you config file code?

Hi gangalee, I believe he used a script from the pWidgets package, but it needs a fix for it to work. Moat made a pet package for it called Weather_Station_Forecast-1.0.pet.
You can find it here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... start=3150
I'm assuming you'll have to have the pWidgets package installed as well.
Hope this helps!

Hello all.
My link in my OP to a download from DataFileHost being dead, I am attaching a conky pet
I did for a tentative DPup a while back. It should work on recent Pups.
It is NOT Lua-enabled. Please report here anything funny, fuzzy or fishy about it. Thanks.
BFN.
