Hi aragon,

I wonder did you compile with imlib2 support? Much fun can be had with images in Conky these days. There isn't a hell of a lot on the web to do with image support but if you dig hard enough you can find.

Cheers and thanks

That's a nice read-out you've made. I have a basic conky.rc compared to yours. Our first halves match; I like the second half of your info very much.

micko,

no, this one is compiled without imlib2 as imlib2 is a 'big-one' but i've planned to do a second package with imlib2 (i'm using an environment where imlib is allready installed...). i will upload this later/tomorrow.

regarding infos conky<=>imlib2
http://conky.wikia.com/wiki/Conky_and_Images_%28Imlib2%29
but, you're right, not much info.

it seems, most users - like the puppy-bling-boys - use fonts to display simple icons.

personally, i don't need the icons/pics in conky, but i want to play a little with mpd and moc output in conky and why not display the cover of the actual playing song...

@jakfish
nice you like it. compared to the conky-examples you find in the net, i think my one is also very basic. but i do like the simplicity of that and if i do not play around, that's nearly all i need (maybe additional network up/downspeed).

one thing i've not pointed out: the pupsave-output uses a modded puppy-script (calcfreespace.sh) include in the package (as conky_calcfreespace.sh). for me (as shown in the pic) it outputs correct (boot from usb with pupsave on usb), but i've not tested it with other setups.
