Thread: How can I have multiple conky themes?

hi,

i'm trying figure out how have multiple conky themes running harmoniously each other. i've tried various ways , nothing seems work.

i'm using gotham conky config http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&se...conky#/d3ebu4r

, use mnm conky config gotham.

mnm link says extract of files ".conky" folder have in home direction---i don't have folder such name , never created one. tried create one, , put both gotham , mnm config files it, , got default conky theme(which rather ugly). took out gotham ".conkyrc" individual files , placed them in home folder without having subfolder in between, brings gotham config. try doing same mnm config, , nothing happens after refreshing conky.

so, should in case? i've tried combining text files , doesn't work either.

if want use multiple conkys, start conkys with

code:

conky -c /path/to/conkyconfig

you can name configs want , save like.

running conky in terminal load 1 specific config.
ie ~/.conkyrc.


conky start script (needs executable...rclick on file properties > permissions , mark execute.)

code:

#!/bin/bash    # click start, click stop    if pidof conky | grep [0-9] > /dev/null    	killall conky   else   	conky -c ~/conky/conkytimer &  sleep 1   	conky -c ~/conky/conkygmail &  sleep 3   	conky -c ~/conky/conkysb &  sleep 5   	conky -c ~/conky/conkysro &  sleep 3   	conky -c ~/conky/rottoswellmini &  sleep 8   	conky -c ~/conky/conkycal  fi

it can used toggle conky on/off and
startup script.
eg have script saved toggleconky in ~/conky folder
, use in startup applications delay allow desktop load
use...

code:

sh -c "sleep 15 && ~/conky/toggleconky"
