Conky ?? (NUKED)

[Crow]

I'm using weirdwolf .conf with some changes in LXDE works good, I want other features but need scripts, for that I think you NEED to be a coder.

Leiche's .conf didn't run, I will try to find why

[daniel]

Maybe you need some icons?

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2077694/icon.tar.xz

Unpack it in /etc/conky/

And add this conky_no_x11.conf

Then it should work

No joy, didn't find DATEN so I commented that line but now it says that:

Conky: forked to background, pid is 8560

Conky: desktop window (e00109) is subwindow of root window (157)

[Neal ManBear]

Change daten to data.

[Crow]

That fixed the Daten thing, thank you, the rest still not working

[Neal ManBear]

Further translations are needed.

Thank you Neal but I think the problem is in another place

[Crow]

I commented the two subroutines about battery and monitor since that seemed to be the problem.

There is no message of error now but I don't see Conky.

I started a different approach using the  weirdwolf .conf and changing some things, looks promising and I'm started to understand something (still don't know what but something      )

[Neal ManBear]

Any luck with weirdwolf's .conf?

[Crow]

Yep, first used weirdwolf .conf, erased the devices part and replaced with Leiche's, then I worked my way comparing first part, changed devices parameters, translated to Spanish, changed some colors using this table http://www.sitiosargentina.com.ar/webmaster/CODIGOS%20DE%20COLORES.htm but returned to black and white.

Found the Conky documentation http://conky.sourceforge.net/docs.html made a .pdf and I'm consulting it at times, downloaded icons (and lost too much time in two excellent pages  )

Next stop is know how scripts work to show weather and Clementine 

This thing is easier than I thought, thank you

[Neal ManBear]

Thank you, Crow.

Still a work in progress but it has been very instructional
