I feel finally comfortable enough sharing my conky\! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is what it looks like : |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Idle | Busy | |
|

|
|
|
It is coded entirely in **lua**, using **cairo** bindings. |
|
|
|
Everything is displayed using transparency, so you can use it with your |
|
|
|
own background. Light, homogeneous backgrounds are preferred. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conky needs to be compiled with at least lua and cairo enabled, as can |
|
|
|
be found in the `conky-lua` package in the |
|
|
|
[AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/conky-lua) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Install |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install, clone in `~/.config/conky/`, or the directory of your |
|
|
|
choice. |
|
|
|
If you chose another directory, you’ll have to edit the `conky.rc` file |
|
|
|
and change this line with your custom path: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lua_load = '~/.config/conky/conky.lua', |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Configure |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can change the startup options of conky in `conky.rc`, though be |
|
|
|
careful as many of them are used to compose with the actual desktop |
|
|
|
background. |
|
|
|
The most important value to set is your screen resolution: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
minimum_width = 1920, |
|
|
|
minimum_height = 1080, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In `conky.lua`, you have to set some values specific to your system: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- SETTINGS |
|
|
|
nbCPU = 4 |
|
|
|
FSs = {"/", "/var", "/home"} |
|
|
|
ladapter = "eth0" -- eno1 |
|
|
|
wadapter = "wlan0" |
|
|
|
ntop = 10 |
|
|
|
-- SETTINGS |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- *nbCPU* is your number of CPU/threads |
|
|
|
- *FSs* is a list of the filesystem mountpoints you want to monitor |
|
|
|
- *l/w* adapter are the names of the different interfaces you want to |
|
|
|
monitor |
|
|
|
- *ntop* is the number of processes you want to display in the top |
|
|
|
widget |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can go further in customization and place the widgets wherever you |
|
|
|
want on the screen, set the color used for the bars, the font face and |
|
|
|
size, etc. |
|
|
|
All the functions used to draw bars, history plots, embossed regions or |
|
|
|
text are available to play with. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Run |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run with |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conky -d -c ~/.config/conky/conkyrc |
