I have tried to keep this config as simple and general as possible. I am using only the Cantarell font, which comes with gnome3, to avoid some users the installation of new fonts. Despite my efforts, there are at least two modifications one needs to make to execute the gmail and weather modules correctly.
### INSTALATION ### #### DESCRIPTION ####
Apart from the minor configurations mentioned before, running this configuration is, in my opinion, simple. First of all, one needs to install conky. Presuming that conky is installed, download and unzip the compressed folder to the home directory. Running the file named mstyle.sh (which can be found inside the folder) will spawn the several conkys one by one after 10 seconds.
#### TERMINAL ####
1. In Ubuntu (I have not tested the config in Ubuntu, only in Arch) sudo apt-get install conky-all In Arch Linux sudo yaourt -S conky-lua 2. wget www.deviantart.com/download/322876465/mstyle_conky_2_by_kant_o-d5c8d2p.zip 3. unzip mstyle_conky_2_by_kant_o-d5c8d2p.zip 4. chmod +x ~/MStyleConkyII/mstyle.sh 5. chmod +x ~/MStyleConkyII/mail.sh 6. ~/MStyleConkyII/./mstyle.sh 7. (optional) run gnome-session-properties and add a new startup program pointing to mstyle.sh to have the conky automatically comming up when you start the computer.
#### GMAIL #### Edit the gmail.sh file and insert your gmail USERNAME and PASSWORD on the right places. Notice that this will save your user and passsword in plaintext in a file of your computer. 9. gedit ~/MStyleConkyII/gmail.sh
#### WEATHER #### Edit the file weather.config and insert the name of the TXT file in [link] for the meteo station that is near to you. You may start from the address [link] and find the name of the station in the URL by following the forms. The name of the file is similar to LPPT (this is actually the one for Lisbon), and it should appear in the URL as XXXX.html 10. gedit weather.config
If you do not want the weather tile to appear, just edit the mstyle.sh file and comment the corresponding line with an #, and restart conky. 11. gedit ~/MStyleConkyII/mstyle.sh 12. killall conky 13. ~/MStyleConkyII/./mstyle.sh
If you do not want a particular tile to appear, follow the same procedure described in the 3 previous steps, but comment one of the other lines.
### NOTE ### A previous conky config on which this one is based on can be found in [link]
### ABOUT THE SCREENSHOT ### The screenshot was edited to change the WAN IP address. The real config shows the true external IP. The wallpaper used in the screenshot can be found on Wallbase.cc, thought it was modified to show a glow near the gnome-shell top bar. The GTK3 theme used is Adwaita Dark from Gnome3.4, and the metacity theme can be found in [link] The icons are the Nitrux OS Icons by DevianTN7k1, which can be found in [link]
Thanks. I'm glad you line it. For the gmail tile, you should open the file gmail.sh and *replace* the keywords USERNAME and PASSWORD with your own credentials (no need to add lines). Hope it solves your problem.
Thank you, it solved the problem It would be awesome if you did a tyle also for facebook, I tried to build it, but it doesn't work because I don't know how to obtain new notifications and messages count from fb.
as of the gmail tile, i just entered these lines, but it doesn't seem to work!
USERNAME=xxxxxx@gmail.com
PASSWORD=xxxxxxxx
