Re: My Conky Config

I already had tint2 on the side but took Iman from Arch's idea of integrating conky. I went for a minimal looking conky that provides information from colour.

Top 2 numbers (1:0) are email boxes.

on AC power (battery meter hidden) some upload and download (blue \\ (download) and // (upload)) CPU2 is a little busy (blue +-)

CPU now calm but temperature is high

On battery power (battery bar becomes visible)

CPU's both doing a little, On AC but charging (battery a bit visible)

Integrated into tint2

here is the code for the ascii conversion function:
currently it only works with lowercase letters and only outputs one ascii "font" ... the "standard" font from the site tawan posted here: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/57581/#p57581

Re: My Conky Config

nothing particularly groundbreaking, but have written a couple of lua functions to convert numbers and dates to text
so 19 becomes "nineteen"
and 23 (as in 23rd of month) becomes "twenty third"

UPDATED--------------
you can get stuff like this:

here is the script that made the above:
currently the number conversion function only goes up to 999
i have made a separate time to words function

--[[numbers to words conversion lua script by mrpeachy (2010)]]

local delim_from, delim_to = string.find( self, delimiter, from  )

table.insert( result, string.sub( self, from , delim_from-1 ) )
from  = delim_to + 1
delim_from, delim_to = string.find( self, delimiter, from  )
end
table.insert( result, string.sub( self, from  ) )
return result

i would need a way to record cpu usage at time a, then record cpu usage at time b.. then work out the difference between b and a
then have some way of having the frames "progress" from a to b rather than just jump from a to b.
might be possible in a lua script if conky cycle was set high say 4 times per second... then cpu could be recorded every second which would give you 3 frames to get from a to b (if you see what i mean) ...but then the animation would always be just slightly behind the actual cpu usage number...

I think you should have a look to the code of the audio spectrum I posted on ubuntu forums : the peak bars have a smooth effect when moving (search peak_value in the code). It's what you're looking for if I understood you well. It works for decreasings values but it should be possible to use it for increasing values

here is a configurable version of the perspective bars lua script

Currently the bars have no bottoms, thats why they look extra white in the transparent version... i'll add those later
i need to work on getting titles onto the bars. I want to be able to twist the text to match the angles of the bars and i think this is possible using a matrix in cairo... but I have yet to look into exactly how to do this!

here is a clip of it working which also shows how the figure can be altered through the settings.
http://blip.tv/file/3290847

I have posted a video on my blog that better shows how the settings can affect the look of the bars:
