No not quite. This old dog switched from the other OS to Linux with almost no problem - an open mind takes out a LOT of those "system specific" problems.

I'm simply saying that with the inclusion of Lua and and Cairo bindings in conky, I'm "behind the times", as I know nothing about them. Didn't say I can't learn it, but I will say this it would be an uphill struggle for me.

Years ago I could do some programming in C-64 and DOS Basic and was quite often approached for BATch file help, but I have never gone beyond that.

Well except for the "basic" conky stuff, if you check my conkys, they are almost all comprised of others work adapted to my liking. :D

@ sector11 - so you are saying that you can't teach an old dog new tricks? :D

here is an updated version of my animated text conky
thanks to iggykoopa it is now relatively simple for anyone to put anything they like in terms of output...
relatively compared to the last one, but it is still a bit tricky as you have to work out your timings

you can see it work here:
http://blip.tv/file/4059911

here is the code that makes it work

--animated text lua script by mrpeachy 2010
require 'cairo'

function string:split(delimiter)
local result = { }
local from  = 1
local delim_from, delim_to = string.find( self, delimiter, from  )
while delim_from do
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
end

plus you have to set your update interval in conky higher than once per second
in my example i used 4 cycles per second

there are a few kinks to be worked out and you will see plenty of error messages in the terminal until the script sorts itself out

Conky has gone sooooooooo far beyond my abilities, because like Gutterslob, I am Lua illiterate.

Today I sit and watch what people like you are doing with conky ... and cloning a few tips here and there.

Sorry I can't help... I'm Lua illiterate :-(

Thanks gutterslob! :)

right now it's in a concept stage... a bit of flim flammery contributing to make it work

but i hope to make it so that you can input any text, with some settings, and the lua works out everything else.

Nice stuff mrpeachy, very nice indeed.

Just though I should point out that the part of your code above can be simplified a bit:
${execpi 60 cal | sed -e '1,2d' -e '/^ *$/d' -e "s/\<$(date +%-d)\>/\${color6}&\${color4}/"}
No need to set a variable at the start, sed is only actually called once and fed several commands so it's shorter overall!
I just like optimizing code whenever possible. Learning to program on the TI 99/4A and the Commodore 64 probably had something to do with that.

Now that is slick and short too!! But it wasn't my code, I found that a LONG time ago in another forum :)

I'm still running Xubuntu 8.04 with Openbox/Tint2 so hopefully that works like it should. I'll get #! on this computer eventually.

You need some Castor Oil to get some stuff moving. :D

this will give you horizontal graphs that can go left to right or right to left
and vertical graphs that can go top to bottom or bottom to top
there are some other options too... the vertical graphs will probably get a little extra work to give you more options for these

this is the kind of thing you can get

now with gradients!

and fade effects!

I edited my post to correct that. :D

Messing with code is kinda fun but that typo was most likely due to being awake for almost 20 hours at the time. Possibly dyslexia, too. At least THAT typo was obvious enough to be fixed easily.
