Thanks soudrolf.

Nice work soundrolf. I will see if I can integrate this in Conky Basic.

Thank you. It's just a suggestion There is a small problem either in radiotray and my newly made audacious tab. If a song or artist or album name is too long, it does not fit into tab. Is there a way to make it scrollable if the string is longer then the width of the tab. To fold it I think is not a good idea, because not enough lines inside tab. I thinking about your system line inside Radio Tray. This conky makes fun to work on it.

[Is there a way to make it scrollable ..] You indeed could use conky_wired_scroller for this. This function uses separate global variables (info.scrollcounter,info.scrollcounterstart,info.scrolltextlength) to keep track of the scrolling. Which actually only moves the contents of a text buffer around and then displays it. Because system info already uses this function I don't know if this will work when scrolling other text. That needs to be tested. But you could create a second scroller function with separate variables if it does not work. [This conky makes fun to work on it.] Thanks for the complement. I don't like going through lots of code just to change some setting. That is why I made it the way it is, and its fun to do. Its always a challenge to create clear understandable code which makes extending it by others easier. As for extra Audacious information. I already have a test running with a separate user preference where one can choose to display it or not. Still in testing mode though :)

Finally I made it. If a artist name and / or a song name is longer than 23 characters, then the artist name and / or the song name will scroll. I made new functions to implement this. Here is the code end -- end conky_wired_system_information -- system_information end -- -- parameters idem conky_wired_audacious_title -- audacious_title start -- function conky_wired_audacious_title() local title=""..conky_parse("${pre_exec audtool --current-song-tuple-data title}") local retval=title..", "..title..", "..title..", "..title return string.gsub(retval,"%c","") end -- end conky_wired_audacious_title -- audacious_title end -- -- parameters idem conky_wired_audacious_artist -- audacious_artist start -- function conky_wired_audacious_artist() local artist=""..conky_parse("${pre_exec audtool --current-song-tuple-data artist}") local retval=artist..", "..artist..", "..artist..", "..artist return string.gsub(retval,"%c","") end -- end conky_wired_audacious_artist -- audacious_artist end -- -- scrolls text by changing the text buffer -- parameters: width - width of the graphical tab container -- text - text to scroll -- font - font to use -- fontsize - font size to use -- Returns: the scrolled part of the text -- parameters idem conky_wired_tab_scoller -- scroller start -- The show starts if show_audacious_extented == "no" then conky_lctext(x+6,y+30,"Station","Arial",11,r,g,b) station=string.gsub(station,"%p","") conky_lctextc(x,y+43,width,station,font,font_size,r,g,b) conky_lctext(x+6,y+57,"Artist & Song","Arial",11,r,g,b) song=string.gsub(song,"%c","") --conky_lctextc(x,y+72,width,artist,font,font_size,r,g,b) if string.len(artist) < 23 then conky_lctextc(x,y+72,width,artist,font,font_size,r,g,b) else local info=conky_wired_audacious_artist() local artist=conky_wired_scroller(width, info, font, font_size+1) conky_lctextc(x,y+72,width,artist,font,font_size,r,g,b) end if string.len(song) < 23 then conky_lctextc(x,y+87,width,song,font,font_size,r,g,b) else local info=conky_wired_audacious_title() local title=conky_wired_scroller(width, info, font, font_size+1) conky_lctextc(x,y+87,width,title,font,font_size,r,g,b) end end end -- restore original, remove clipping region cairo_restore(cr) -- conky_wired_audacious_title() return (x+width),(y+height) end -- conky_wired_tab_radiotray -- radiotray end -- It works like perfect.

Glad to hear it works :) In the new version I changed the scroller. Now it continuously scrolls and I added a step parameter so you can enter the number of characters to scroll. If you want to use it, just copy the new scroller function in your code.

..and I also put the scroller into the lctextc function. So if the text is more then the tab width, it starts to scroll it.

I will check if audacious can be added.

Hi soundrolf, Audacious detection is added.

Thank you very much to implement audacious. I prefer audacious instead of rhythmbox. So I removed rhythmbox out of my script. I made a new processes tab without bars for my laptop.

[bars into some of my circle conkeys] You mean like circulair VU bars of some sort ? That would be nice :) I was testing your System Bar on a virtual Ubuntu with 2 CPU's and it first failed as it was gathering info on 4 CPU's. So I uncommented the auto CPU detection. I you want to the user be able to limit the number of CPU's shown I would suggest to make a user preference of it. Like you did with the CPU/GPU temperature and netinfo tabs. The purple theme does not seem to work. You need to add a themes.purple={.627,.321,.176} with the wanted colour schemes. Then it will work fine. Keep on the good work :)

Thanks :) Well, I tried to make it as generic as possible that's why the swap is in it. Some will use it and some won't. I have 8GB internal memory but no swap use although my swap is activated. As for the % and C values. The easiest way to go is to create a copy of conky_wired_bar and name it conky_wired_bar_temp and change the % sign to a C sign. Another option would be to extend conky_wired_bar with an extra parameter like in ' type' which could be a ' %' or a 'C'. The disadvantage is that you need to alter every wired_bar reference in the code. I like your port tab. In a new conky layout I am working on I want to integrate this also. Insteadoff all single lines you could use a for loop. This is the code I use: local sessions = tonumber(conky_parse('${tcp_portmon 1025 65535 count}')) local maxrows,step = 19,0 local remoteip,remoteaddrr = "","" local maxstrlen = 48 -- start with the last session, not the first for i=sessions,(sessions-maxrows),-1 do if i < 0 then break end remoteip=conky_parse('${tcp_portmon 1025 65535 rip '..i..'}') remoteaddrr=conky_parse('${tcp_portmon 1025 65535 rhost '..i..'}') local lgt = string.len(remoteaddrr) -- fqdn longer then width, shorten it if lgt > maxstrlen then local strdiff = lgt - maxstrlen remoteaddrr = "..."..string.sub(remoteaddrr,strdiff,-1) end -- no fqdn, use ip if lgt == 0 then remoteaddrr=remoteip end conky_lctext(x+10,y+5+(step*font_size),remoteaddrr,font,font_size,1,1,1) step=step+1 end

Thanks :) Glad you liked the idea--of course use what you want...I'll play with the temp mods this weekend & post when done..Do like sharing code & ideas...helps everyone code better.... I look forward to your new Conky & playing with this one has given me a couple of ideas for new ones also. I'm liking the new format & I really needed to brush up/learn new skills/play with ideas right now--my day job is a real bore & I needed a couple of pushes to get back to my Linux system admin studies.....

Did the copy/mod for "C"--works/looks good, just added another tab for memory & did the gpu temps by themselves. Started playing with your portmon stuff...like where it is going.

Well, spoke to soon. v0.5 still does work with ${cpu cpu2). Strange things is that if you put that same command in the TEXT [[]] in the rc file, the lua part works. Don't ask me why. I will look if the radio part is possible autocrosser :)
