Here's a conky theme that I've created to match my Mira gtk-theme.
It's heavily based on Lyrae's stylish Conky Box. [link]
In the package are 6 color-shemes. I've included all the scripts (2 of them by me) and the fonts as well.
The "cure" font is in the artwiz-fonts package.

El problema es que la caja se ve, pero el tiempo no
Gracias por cualquier ayuda.

~/.fonts
~/scripts

I've Ubuntu 10.04 and I've installed conky from terminal - sudo apt-get install conky
My problem is that:
- I don't have a .fonts in my home/username
- I don't have a .scripts in the above folder
- The folder /home/username/.conky also doesn't exists...
conky runs fine, and my search showed that it is located in
/etc/conky
and has two files, conky.conf and conky_no_x11.conf
and conky is run from /usr/bin: ./conky
How should I install your theme?
PS: conky runs fine
You can simply create these folders.
Open a terminal for example and run:
mkdir ~/scripts
mkdir ~/.fonts
mkdir ~/.conky
Then copy the corresponding files into these folders. (instructions in the Readme)
After that you can set up the email and weather scripts (like described in the Readme).
To create the start script (in ubuntu for example) open up a terminal and run:
sudo gedit /usr/bin/conky_start
Paste this into the file and save it (replace "Mira_green" with the color-scheme you want):
#!/bin/bash
conky -c ~/.conky/Mira_green/.conkyrc_clock &
conky -c ~/.conky/Mira_green/.conkyrc_weather &
conky -c ~/.conky/Mira_green/.conkyrc_sys &
conky -c ~/.conky/Mira_green/.conkyrc_net &
conky -c ~/.conky/Mira_green/.conkyrc_disk &
conky -c ~/.conky/Mira_green/.conkyrc_mpd
Then run:
sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/conky_start
conky_start
You can add the "conky_start" script to the autostart of your gnome-session if you want.
I should mention that this conky theme is from 2008 and not up to date. It works but conky has more features now that make some scripts obsolete... I'll release and update after the exam period that will be easier to install!
It worked! (the vast majority of stuff). Weather didn't run because conky seems not to take proxy settings, etc. but most of things showed fine.
You're right with:
"I should mention that this conky theme is from 2008 and not up to date. It works but conky has more features now that make some scripts obsolete"
So, I'll follow u and wait until you update these great conky themes
Thanks !!
1. How would i change the sunrise sunset times to a 24-hour format?
2. Did you ever find a moon font to go with this?
Thanks for a great theme!

This theme consists of 6 conkyrc files. Like I described in the readme file the easiest way to start conky is to create a simple script. So first select the color sheme you want to use (green for example) and:
1. copy the folder "Mira_green" to "/home/YourUser/.conky"
2. to create the script run "gedit /usr/bin/conky_start" (as root or with sudo)
3. paste into that file sth like this:
#!/bin/bash
conky -c ~/.conky/Mira_green/.conkyrc_clock &
conky -c ~/.conky/Mira_green/.conkyrc_weather &
conky -c ~/.conky/Mira_green/.conkyrc_sys &
conky -c ~/.conky/Mira_green/.conkyrc_net &
conky -c ~/.conky/Mira_green/.conkyrc_disk &
conky -c ~/.conky/Mira_green/.conkyrc_mpd
4. save the file and run (with sudo or as root again) "chmod a+x /usr/bin/conky_start"
5. then you can launch conky with "conky_start"
What paths and editors you use is naturally your choice, this is just an example!

it opens the correct amount of windows but i doesnt display the theme... what am i doing wrong?
sorry if im bothering you but i have spent HOURS trying to get this to work... i've reinstalled conky, tried doing the whole thing again, but to no avail
I'm not sure what the problem is but if you have followed the instructions of the readme and it still doesn't work then maybe its a problem with your window-manager.
Do other conky themes work for you?
Maybe this will help: [link]
Am I doing it wrong? Or is there a certain order in which to do it?
When you want to execute a script with conky you just need to point to its location (the script has to be executable). Here is an example:
${execi 2 /path/to/script/example.sh}
If you add this line to your conkyrc file, conky will execute the script "example.sh" every two seconds and display the output.
Open the CompizConfig and go to: General Options > Opacity Settings > New
Enter "class=Conky" and select the opacity degree.
(I'll reupload it tomorrow)
thanks! this is by far the best looking conky i've seen.
Found it on the Arch bbs. Put to use here: [link]
${color 9AB7DC}Cpu1:${color a4a4a4}${alignr}${cpu cpu0}% ${color 668ABF}${execi 20 sensors k8temp-pci-00c3 |grep Core0 |awk '{print $3}'}
${color 668ABF}${cpugraph cpu1 20,97 668ABF 9AB7DC}
@${freq cpu2} Mhz
${color 9AB7DC}Cpu2:${color a4a4a4}${alignr}${cpu cpu2}% ${color 668ABF}${execi 20 sensors k8temp-pci-00c3 |grep Core1 |awk '{print $3}'}
${color 668ABF}${cpugraph cpu2 20,97 668ABF 9AB7DC}
@${freq cpu2} Mhz
I have an Intel dual core T2370 cpu and when i run it i always get this error:
Specified sensor(s) not found!
Can you help me to fix this?
Did you setup lm_sensors on you system?
>>> [link] <<<
If you have installed and configured it type "sensors" in a terminal and replace "k8temp-pci-00c3" with your sensor chip.
That should fix it.
