Conky Hardcore!

In the HowTo’s & T&T’s Section: T&T-1: Spacing I showed you two lines that put a calendar into my conky that uses the calendario.sh script.

Those lines:

1 2	${font LCDMono:size=19}${color2}${pre_exec ~/Conky/scripts/calendario.sh semana} ${color 888888}${pre_exec ~/Conky/scripts/calendario.sh pasado}${color2}${pre_exec ~/Conky/scripts/calendario.sh hoy}${color 888888}${pre_exec ~/Conky/scripts/calendario.sh futuro}${font}

And the calendario.sh script that they use:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

#! /bin/sh # written by: jjgomera   #str=`echo '\033[01;32m29'`   # replace the 4 "cal |" with "cal -m |" to have the week start on Monday   DATE=`date | awk -F" " '{print $3}'`   case "$1" in mes) cal | head -n1 ;; semana) cal | head -n2 | tail -n1 ;; pasado) cal | grep -v '[a-zA-Z]' | grep '[0-9]' | awk -F$DATE ' BEGIN {i=0} ($1 == $0 && i==0) {print $1}($1 != $0 && i==0){i=i+1;print $1}'; ;; hoy) echo $DATE; ;; futuro) cal | grep -v '[a-zA-Z]' | grep '[0-9]' | awk -F$DATE ' BEGIN {i=1} (i==0) {print $0}($1 != $0 && i==1){i=i-1;print $2}'; ;; esac

Now make that “executable” and conky can use it.

Happy conkying.

That whole script can be replaced with:

1	${color 888888}${font LCDMono:bold:size=12}${execpi 60 DJS=`date +%_d`; cal | sed '1d' | sed '/./!d' | sed 's/$/ /' | fold -w 21 | sed -n '/^.\{21\}/p' | sed 's/^/${alignc} /' | sed /" $DJS "/s/" $DJS "/" "'${color2}'"$DJS"'${color 888888}'" "/}

I can’t claim to have crafted that code, but I wish I could.

OK, and it looks like:
