Conky manager

Postby viking60 » 17 Aug 2013, 13:11

I have tested the conky-manager script.
And this is a practical way to get and organize your conkies +1

In Manjaro and Arch you will find it in AUR (Arch User Repository). You will find it in the Debian and Ubuntu repos too.
You get a control panel where you can pick and place your conkies - and you can set if it should run on startup ++.

Normally I am not to happy with these scripts because they tend to not be compatible with the conkies I already have.

This is not the case here:
The installation creates ~/conky-manager/themes
To add your favorite conky you must make a directory for it - I have called mine Standard.

In the standard folder you need to create the config folder (every conky has a config folder).
So by now my directory structure looks like this:
~/conky-manager/themes/Standard/config/standard

As you can see you do not have to name your conky file after the standard - I have simply called my config file "standard".

I go to the control panel and click refresh et voila I can see the standard conky there :dance:

You can do this with any conky file.

Or you can download more conky packs for the conky manager.
This is a good one :cheers
