Synthwave vibes for your Conky and desktop.
- Copy conky-synthwave folder from this repository to /home/user/.conky/ (your user home folder)
- Modify next files:
- .conky_cal: replace /home/user/ with your home folder.
- .conky_gmail: replace /home/user/ with your home folder.
- .conky_speed: replace /home/user/ with your home folder.
- .conky_stod: replace /home/user/ with your home folder.
- .conky_weather: replace /home/user/ with your home folder.
- .conkyrc: replace /home/user/ with your home folder.
- .conkyrc: replace /mnt/data with your mounted partition (any drive you have access should work).
- pygmail.py: replace email and passwd values with your Gmail App passwords (visit https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833?hl=en or search for Google App passwords).
- pyweath.py: replace APPID and CITY values with your OpenWeather App ID (visit https://openweathermap.org/ to create free account).
- conky-startup.sh: replace /home/user/ with your home folder.
- all config files: remove line xinerama_head=1 or experiment with other values. (This is because I am displaying Conky on secondary monitor. You will MOST PROBABLY need to delete this variable in every file.)
- Add conky-startup.sh to your OS autostart items.
- Install Luculent font (visit http://eastfarthing.com/luculent/). Try "Prehinted" version with your DPI first. It's my favourite monospace font. :)
- Install Speedtest CLI tool (visit https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli).
- Modify .conky_mpd to use real data from Music Player Daemon (mpd). I am not using it, so I have just some static info there.
- Modify .shitstodo content with your TODO data.
- Set conky-synthwave/synthwave.jpg as desktop wallpaper.
- Play with gap_x and gap_y values in config files. Positions are fixed for 1920x1080 resolution.
- This conky config is using gcal, sensors, sed, tail, awk. Check from terminal that you have them installed.
- Config files are in Lua syntax.
- python3 needs to be instaled. Tested with 3.9.2.
- Tested on MX Linux 21 Wildflower.
