@micko:
No, it's ok. Clock won't appear just because of the sleep value, as usual, put bigger value like 5 or 6. The more important thing is the mouse click release. I used a simulated right click on something that won't open anything when clicked. Maybe zigbert can make a code to automatically calculate to move cursor on the xonclock center, as it won't open anything when right clicked. - I am not much of a coder...sorry to say

What we need to do to speed up the slideshow loading is alter the script with this in mind;
we must find out what is in ~/.pwidgets/misc/scaledimages.
if /scaledimages contains the file 01.jpg then this part of the script can run
Code: Select all
#The actual slideshow
				TMP=$[$OFFSET_Y+7]
				echo "xli -geometry +$X_POS2+$TMP -delay $DELAY -goto $SCALED_DIR/01.jpg $SCALED_DIR/*.jpg &" >> $HOME/.pwidgets/tmp/pwidgets-exec
				;;
			*)
else run this
Code: Select all
#build scaled images in a temporary storage
				echo "scale2pics "$IMAGE_DIRECTORY" $SCALED_DIR 126 95 85 jpg" >> $HOME/.pwidgets/tmp/pwidgets-exec
				#The actual slideshow
				TMP=$[$OFFSET_Y+7]
				echo "xli -geometry +$X_POS2+$TMP -delay $DELAY -goto $SCALED_DIR/01.jpg $SCALED_DIR/*.jpg &" >> $HOME/.pwidgets/tmp/pwidgets-exec
				;;
fi

I think I'm on the right track there. We'll see...

So far I can print whether 01.jpg exists

Code: Select all

[ -e ~/.pwidgets/misc/scaledimages/01.jpg ] && echo "TRUE" || echo "FALSE"

which prints 'TRUE' or 'FALSE'. How do I use that output? Here's what I have.

Code: Select all

[ -e ~/.pwidgets/misc/scaledimages/01.jpg ] && echo "TRUE" || echo "FALSE"
 	
 #"File exists" = "$TRUE"
 #"File does not exist" = "$FALSE"

if 	    [ ~/.pwidgets/misc/scaledimages/01.jpg = "FALSE" ] ; sleep 1
	then	 touch ~/.pwidgets/misc/scaledimages/01.jpg
			sleep 1
			scale2pics ~/images ~/.pwidgets/misc/scaledimages 126 95 85 jpg &
			sleep 3	#time for Scale2pics to scale images
			xli -geometry +870+600 -delay 5 -goto	~/.pwidgets/misc/scaledimages/01.jpg ~/.pwidgets/misc/scaledimages/*.jpg &
	else 	[ ~/.pwidgets/misc/scaledimages/01.jpg = "TRUE" ] ; sleep 1  
   		 	xli -geometry +870+600 -delay 5 -goto	~/.pwidgets/misc/scaledimages/01.jpg ~/.pwidgets/misc/scaledimages/*.jpg &
	exit 0
fi

but it doesn't work. I know it has somethingto do with how I am trying to use the output of the test.

Back to the drawing board....

I just wanted thank everyone for all the hard work on this project! I use the digital clock, the weather, calendar, and CPU PWidgets. It took my a little time to figure out the F/C weather conversion.

I still need to figure out why the digital clock is in military/metric 24 hour times instead of the 12 hour system we use here in the US. I'll go to the .onclock file and see if I can figure it out. I'm sure something is in there.

@sfink16:

Have you tried puppy wizard-wi zard and configure puppy for your country?

Trio:

I must've forgot to reboot after installing Conky and PWidgets because it's working now. Also, I did have the setup correctly for my locale. Thanks for your response!

Check out my full pwidgets aka conky

I need help getting my weather report to show up in pwidgets. Seems my Accuweather code is in a format I can't get to work. This is the code returned when I search for Hartford, CT:

http://www.accuweather.com/us/ct/hartfo ... eler=0&u=1

On the other hand, my Firefox Forecast extension gives me USCT0094, which looks promising. But so far I haven't been able to come up with a workable LOCCOD.

By the way, I can easily get the weather for Madrid and Valmoen, Norway, using the codes supplied for demonstration.

Any assistance is appreciated

@pistoi0
You know the US zip code?

Note:sorry dumb question & tried to look up the location code, but it's just not the same as international location

@trio

[Note:sorry dumb question & tried to look up the location code, but it's just not the same as international location]

There's my problem in a nutshell. My zip code 06103, for anyone who might know how to use that for a solution.

sintot · #160 Post by **sintot** » Sun 04 Jan 2009, 10:43

Pistoi0, all you have to do is to put your zip code (for accuweather I think it is 06101) in the pwidgets weather config file:

Code: Select all

${color0}${font weather:size=62}${execi 10 /root/.pwidgets/scripts/WeatherIcon "6101"}${font}  ${execi 10  /root/.pwidgets/scripts/Weather city}

Cheers

hahaha, I just didn't figure it out...just knew it has something to do with zip code

pistoi0 · #162 Post by **pistoi0** » Sun 04 Jan 2009, 19:34

Thanks to sintot and trio, I am pleased to report that the weather in Hartford, CT USA, is Sunny and 37F. The zip code translates perfectly.

Anyone had trouble with the fonts ?

I followed the instructions to load and tested Abiword where they work OK.

However they will not work with digital clock. It's set for ionic but seems to display DejaVu.

Check '/usr/share/fonts/default/TTF' contains the Ionic font. If not try reinstalling Pwidgets. Or rename the pwidgets-0.4.pet to pwidgets-0.4.pet.tar.gz and extract, find the font in the resulting pwidgets-0.4 directory and copy it to /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF and restart Pwidgets. Hope that helps.

tasmod · #165 Post by **tasmod** » Mon 05 Jan 2009, 16:07

Hi Micko,

Yes it's there. It works in Abiword OK.

As a test I rechecked the minixcal clock in the tray and changed the font in .jwmrc for it to ionic but no joy, it just won't show up.

It's in /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF along with the others. I changed to other fonts and they show OK

Zigbert says they show up in Abiword when installed and that proves true.

tasmod · #166 Post by **tasmod** » Mon 05 Jan 2009, 16:12

It is in the directory as :

ionic.ttf is this correct rather than IonicCharge.ttf

Try copying your fonts to /root/.fonts directory - if it isn't there, create it. I installed the fonts that Zigbert supplied about 3 times and nothing. Then I manually put them in the /root/.fonts directory and voila!

Hope that helps.

Yes.

In the main post, zigbert said to run these 2 commands in terminal to update installed fonts

Code: Select all

mkfontscale /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF
mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF

Hope that helps.

And just double check that 'ionic.ttf' is in /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF

tasmod · #169 Post by **tasmod** » Mon 05 Jan 2009, 23:13

Making a .fonts and copying them across did nothing.

I ran the commands again to be sure.

ionic is in correct location. Paths correct.

Strangely it will show up in Abiword font menu as a choice and will print OK.

I tried the tray clock font change and it did not recognise it, but it would change font size according to instruction line

Try running 'pwidgets' from the command line. Type

Code: Select all

pwidgets

in a terminal. The GUI will show up. Select only the digital clock. Scan the output of the terminal carefully to see if there are any errors.
Also check the 'config file' for the digital clock.
It should look like this

Code: Select all

#this is a Pwidgets config file
#the actual building of the graphics is defined in bottom of this file, - after 'TEXT'. 

#Digital clock

#### PWIDGETS #####

HEIGHT=80
OFFSET_X=20


#### CONKY ####
#COLORS --- 0:headings 1:base-info 2:extra-info 3:markers 5:green 6:red
#Colors are defined in theme-files, - NOT here.
color0 A2914E
color1 666666
color2 bbbbbb
color3 ffab00
color5 499D3A
color6 red

background no
own_window yes
own_window_type override
#own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
own_window_transparent yes
#own_window_colour hotpink
double_buffer yes
total_run_times 0
update_interval 1
minimum_size 160 5
draw_shades yes
draw_outline no
draw_borders no
stippled_borders 2
border_margin 4
border_width 1
default_color white
default_shade_color 333333
default_outline_color red
no_buffers yes
uppercase no
use_spacer none
use_xft yes
xftfont Ionic Charge :size=42

TEXT
${color0}${time %H:%M:%S}

We will figure this out!
