I'm enjoying your weather conky very...Hi Param,<br />I'm enjoying your weather conky very much, though it's a lot more effort than I like. My only programming experience was a single course in basica about thirty years ago. Modifying your code has been a bit of a struggle. Here's a shot of my desktop (I'm running Kubuntu 16.04):<br /> [code]http://i.imgur.com/7zWyuCZ.jpg[/code]<br /><br />As you can see, this is the short-conky, and I have made a few mods, but there are some other changes I'd like to make that seem to be over my head (lua might as well be Coptic to me). I don't wish to over-burden you, but if you could help I will appreciate it.<br /><br />First, I would dearly like to change the wind directional arrow so that it points into the wind. It must be buried somewhere in the lua code, so I can't find it, or more likely, don't recognize it.<br />Second, I would like to be able to put a background behind the (I assume) lua-generated anemometer. As you can see, I managed to place it, size it, and change the color, but I can't manage to place a background under it.<br />Third, how do I get rid of that obnoxious ! preceding the Present Conditions text?<br />(I just noticed the ! disappeared - does it have a purpose - indicate something I'm not aware of?)<br />Fourth, can I, without screwing everything else up, move the moon's 'percent showing' number and indicator off of the moon's disk? It's a small thing, I know, but the moon is like a murti to me, and I find it distracting to have the number there.<br />Finally (did I really say finally?), how can I reduce the number of days showing in the forecast at the bottom to five (which I find is at about the limit of accuracy anyway)? It's a bit crowded, and hard for my aging eyes to discern one temp. from another.[Hold off on this one - I think I should try reducing the font size a little first and see how it is].<br />Hah! I knew there was something else! How can I make the arrow on the anemometer thinner or perhaps even match the one in the directional indicator (thin, red, with an inverted crescent on the tail and a crossbar near the point - nice arrow!)<br />Anyway, if this is too much work, just help with what is easiest and leave the rest. Thanks very much!<br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425108.post-73220319258219856792017-03-31T17:03:52.957+05:302017-03-31T17:03:52.957+05:30Can you please post your issue on https://ubuntufo...Can you please post your issue on https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1771033<br /><br />There are people there who will assist you as I am out of town at the moment.<br /><br />cheersParamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00894852687294059518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425108.post-17588549631593184902017-03-31T00:07:03.563+05:302017-03-31T00:07:03.563+05:30Comma/dot (decimal separation) caused these errors...Comma/dot (decimal separation) caused these errors.
