NOTE:
For latest version of Conkywx Conky Weather Program please look here
Weather Information for Conky - or as some may say Conky Weather Program
With so many changes - focus has been for speed of execution -
Magellan [Astronomy] C source is included - Bash is now a good
facilitator for conkywx as the data is parsed by the perl module.For latest version of Conkywx Conky Weather Program please look here
Weather Information for Conky - or as some may say Conky Weather Program
Magellan - thanks to the wise Gurus who wrote the original stuff - but had to tailor the code for my use and tweaked for improving data accuracy - My reference data has been the US Naval Obs data on the web. Wiki has more details.
Additions and changes:
- Please do go through the config.conf file as it has many additions
- Language support for display as well as messages
- Magellan - Astronomy module written in C - only weather data now used from wunderground
- Required fonts installer for stand alone users
- Trends code re-written and smoother
- New data parser written in perl
- 16 new elements - please refer to wiki for details
- As many users are using various conky variants - conky is no longer a dependency but however - conky is still required. Please ensure conky - in what ever form - is infact installed.
- To reduce duplication of effort - conkywx man page now has basic information and has a link to the wiki which is normally being updated real time as changes to conkywx are being made.
- On Arch Linux the new conkywx.conf will be saved as /etc/conkywx/conkywx.conf.pacnew - review the changes and update your conkywx.conf
- If you are using Gnome 3 - own_window_type in the *conkyrc.sh needs to be changed to normal
- In some cases to have conky restart automatically you may need to give a sleep 30 - delay in your conky-start script
- *conkyrc.sh files are configured on XFCE 4.10 with compiz + emerald - you may need to tweak conkyrc examples for your DE
There is a wiki page conkywx wiki
