Widgets&Themes

ManageConky Widget / Theme Directory Scheme:

Widgets

• conky-configs should be named without extension
• A source.txt contains link to where Widget can be found online
• A creator.txt holds the the name(s) of the creator(s)

Notes:

• The only files to be extension-less should be conky-configs
• All other files are ignored by ManageConky, for example: images, lua-scripts etc.

  Anything slips in, hide it using this.

Themes

You can create conky themes in 2 ways:

✔ the old-way: conky-manager .cmtheme file
✔ the new way: ManageConky property list file

Old-Way:

---

Create a .cmtheme file and fill its contents based on the scheme:

config1 location on disk
config2 location on disk
...
...
configN
wallpaper location on disk
wallpaper-scaling:<scaling>

WHERE <scaling> is one of the following options: (⛏ Working on it. See #15)

• Fill Screen
• Fit to Screen
• Stretch to Fill Screen
• Centre
• Tile

New-Way:

---

• Create a file named themerc.plist with a plist editor
• Add the keys source, creator and wallpaper all of which are strings
• Add the key configs which is an array of string's
• Add an item in the array for each conky-config and write the location of it on disk.
• Fill in the keys source, creator and wallpaper with the link where you found the theme online, the creator's name, and the location of the wallpaper on disk. INFO: the first two can be ignored, (you don't have to add them since the feature is not yet supported)
• You can add the key startupDelay which will be a number and write the time in seconds you want conky to wait before showing the config.

RULES:

• Paths can't be relative
• Please do not try to use different scheme because it won't work! :D
• ALL resources a conky-config uses should reside in the same directory as the conky-config, and this is the way you should write your config. (It appears that there is a bug in conky and it cannot load a resource from whatever path... Please open an issue if you want this to be fixed)

Hide stuff from ManageConky

Elements (directories / files) that accidently show up in ManageConky's Widgets or Themes list can be hidden.
Click on the element you want to hide like and then on the Ignore button.
