Description:
Now it's easy to customize your desktop!
Conky is a free, light-weight system monitor for X, that displays any information on your desktop.
CONKY-colors is an easier way to configure Conky.
This conky script support multilanguage:
Bulgarian, English, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Ukrainian
How to install
Go to a terminal and type:
$sudo apt-get install aptitude python-statgrab ttf-droid hddtemp curl lm-sensors conky-all
$sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp
$sudo sensors-detect #answering Yes (default) to all questions, even that last one that defaults to No
Now restart your session
Download and extract the conky-colors.tar.gz and type in terminal in the same directory that has been extracted.
$make
$sudo make install
$conky-colors {options}
Ex: if your cpu is quad-core and you want the noble color, with hd, network and pidgin monitor and all in portuguese
conky-colors --theme=gnome-noble --lang=pt --cpu=4 --network --hd=default --pidgin
For a working weather script you NEED to define, in a user specific config file, a partner id and registration code for the weather.com xoap service. For this purpose copy .conkyForecast.config in /usr/share/conkycolors folder to your home and setup as required.
bbcweather widget don't need any kind of registration
For a working photo widget you need to specify a file or directory in conkyPhoto or conkyPhotoRandom script in ~/.conkycolors/bin/
Update your font cache:
$sudo fc-cache -v -f
