Have your calendar appear as the wallpaper.
Use at your own risk. Don't blame me if you miss a meeting :-)
Some parts of the scripts were bogged togather from various examples online. Please report problems using GITHUBs issue tracking system. Additionally please let me know if there are some feature requests.
The scripts in this repository depend on the following programs being available:
feh(https://feh.finalrewind.org/)convert(part of ImageMagick https://imagemagick.org/)
The example calendar file cal_example
contains a description of the syntax
togather with a couple of examples.
I suggest copying this file to cal and
editing it to add your events.
All the scripts described below need
the file cal to be available.
Configuration options are available
in CONFIGURATION sections of each script.
CAREFUL: the first thing you might want
to change is the FONT in wallPipe.
By default it is "DejaVu-Sans-Mono"
because it has box drawing characters.
The font should be mono spaced.
To list all fonts available run:
$convert -list font
USAGE:
$./wallDay
or with the PATH variable set appropriately
(using a symbolic link wont work because
the scripts look for files relative to their
location):
$wallDay
Scan for the day's events using the
calendar file cal. A description
of the syntax for calendar events
is described at the beginning of
this file.
The script shows:
- a timetable
- list of important events from the following seven days
- a todo list
on the wallpaper using feh.
USAGE:
$./wallWeek
Scan seven days, starting with the current day,
for the day's events using the
calendar file cal. A description
of the syntax for calendar events
is described at the beginning of
this file.
The script shows:
- a timetable for each day
on the wallpaper using feh.
This can be a little cluttered but the events are readable on a screen with a reasonable resolution:
USAGE EXAMPLE:
$ls | ./wallWeek
Takes stdin and shows the text
on the wallpaper using feh.
Configuration available in betterCal.config
but I suggest not modifying this file.
Simple calendar application, uses the
betterCal.py module. Help and information
is available using:
$./betterCalendar -h
