Since I was asked about my config file I figured I would try and post it here:


Alright, for starters this configuration was a combo of 2 individual conky scripts, a tiling terminal in the middle called "Terminator" (basically gnome terminal with tiling windows within the terminal), devilspie for the embedded and transparent terminal (terminator) in the middle, a few start up shell scripts for both conkys, devilspie, and terminator, and a python script for the weather.

I also used the xfce4 tranparent panel patch: [link]


Here are some useful links for everything I did:

I'll just post some conf files here. (from this more recent version: [link] )

Now you'll have to have a conky weather script and a I used a shell script to start it all, and you'll have to change your path location and other things like your specific font to match your own. And you'll probably have to find a nice console font to use if you can't find the Apple fonts with the one that I used (console fonts work the best for perfect spacing on the calendar).



This the conky weather python script called "conkyForecast.py" (located in my /home/your_name/.conky/scripts folder):
-------------------------------------------------
This script was too long to post, but you can find the exact same script from the conky mira package that I added a link to in the links section.
That package also has all of the weather fonts that are need, and all you have to do is make a folder called scripts to place the python script in, and add the wether fonts to your fonts folder.
--------------------------------------------------------------



With the Devilspie app you need to make this conf file for the "terminator" terminal called "terminator.ds" (and put it in your /home/your_name/.devilspie folder):
-------------------------------------------------------------
(if
(matches (window_name) "terminator")
(begin
(skip_tasklist)
(undecorate)
(below)
(stick)
(skip_pager)
(center)
(wintype "utility")
)
)
------------------------------------------------------------



This is the start up shell script that I used for both devilspie and terminator. I set the geometry for width of the terminal screen and for offset space between both my xfce4 panels (place all startup sh. scripts in you ~/ folder and use the xfce Sessions and Startup manager to run all my start up shell scripts):
-------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
sleep 1 && devilspie &
sleep 5 && terminator --title terminator --geometry=1096x761
-------------------------------------------------------------



Start up shell scripts for .conkyrc_default:
------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
sleep 5 && conky -c ~/.conky/.conkyrc_default &
------------------------------------------------------------



and .conkyrc_weather startup shell:
-------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
sleep 5 && conky -c ~/.conky/.conkyrc_weather &
-------------------------------------------------------------


or with both in one:
----------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
sleep 15 && conky -c ~/.conky/.conkyrc_weather &
sleep 15 && conky -c ~/.conky/.conkyrc_default
----------------------------------------------------------



Now my last conf file is my ncmpcpp conf file (located in the /home/your_name/.ncmpcpp folder):

--------------------------------------------------------

as for colors of the terminal you'll have to pick them out on your own. The ncmpcpp conf file picks colors by both color name and a number, like this:

.ncmpcpp color order for Terminals:
## - 0 - default window color (discards all other colors)
## - 1 - black
## - 2 - red
## - 3 - green
## - 4 - yellow
## - 5 - blue
## - 6 - magenta
## - 7 - cyan
## - 8 - white
## - 9 - end of current color

..... so you can change the 16 color options of numbers 1 - 8, as well as the 2 color options of your font color and background (which is #0 or default).


These were a few color combos that I used in my terminal for dark wallpapers (I also used apps like mc, htop, vim, and the ncurses menu used for building kernels, so I had to make it useable for all those apps):

Text Color #BCA2F9
Background color: #494B57
---------------
8 colors as: font/background
---------------
color 1: #000000/#666671
color 2: #AA0000/#DF3434

color 5: #212127/#FFFFFF
color 6: #BE8CFC/#BE8CFC

So there are my config files and links to the apps, I hope it works out for you..... and as for those accidental smiley faces in the .conkyrc_weather file that looked like this "--datatypeW"..... it actually is the "=" sign right next to a capital "D" like this: "" or with a space between it "= D".

so make it like this without the space between the = and the D: "--datatype = DW"
