I just wanted an analog clock that would work better than Screenlets or gDesklets. I edited the script for Conky Cemeng, and added other clock faces for 8 different clock styles. It does NOT include any system monitoring applets... just a clock.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The README-Install file gives additional info:
JustClock Installation
Create Conky folder, download justclock tar file to this folder, extract justclock tar file in this folder. Browser: View: Show Hidden Folders Copy both the .conclock and .conclockrc files in (user's home) folder Make edits in *** below if needed
To test, in terminal: conky -c ~/.conclockrc
*** If you are running Gnome 3, some versions may require the following changes in .conclockrc:
If running Gnome 3 comment out the following line by placing a # in front of the line: own_window_type override
If running Gnome 3 UNcomment out the following line by removing the # in front of the line: #own_window_type normal.
To have Conky start automatically in Gnome 2 do the following: Go to Menu: System (or Preferences)>Preferences>Session (or Startup Applications)>Startup Programs> and add the conky_start.sh script provided: Name: Conky Clock Command: /home/(user's home)/.conclock/scripts/conky_start.sh
To have Conky start automatically in Gnome 3 do the following: Open: (user's home)/.config/autostart and make a new file named conky.desktop and enter the folloing into it.
To change the clock face to a different style or color: Look in (user's home)/.conclock at the different clock images and names (clock1, clock2, clock3, etc.) Edit the .conclockrc file (in user's home/.conclockrc) and look for the lines (last lines in file): .TEXT # Change the clock image below # ${image ~/.conclock/clock1.png -p 5,26 -s 170x170}: Change the clock1.png to the appropriate clock name desired (ie. clock3.png) and save file.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JustClock is free to change and use. The images and scripts came from other projects with similar use statements or GPL.
JustClock is an edited version of Conky Cemeng http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/conky+cemeng?content=139313
Not sure if this is still an active project. If so is there any way to get some help with it? I'm getting an error:
$ conky -c /home/madams/.conclockrc
conky: Syntax error (/home/madams/.conclockrc:65: unexpected symbol near '$') while reading config file.
Looks like something I'd really like to see on my desktop. Any help appreciated. Thanks!
I think I found a memleak.
After about two hours of run, conky increased more than 15 MB of memory as reported by command "pmap <pid_of_conky>".
Adding these two lines:
cairo_surface_destroy(cs)
cairo_destroy(cr)
at the end of the function "conky_clock_rings()" seems to fix this.
