question: how to "change" colors on conky? #51

Closed icf20 closed 7 years ago

icf20 commented 7 years ago

hello, is there anyway to use the colours generated by wal in conky ?

dylanaraps commented 7 years ago

I've never used conky before, this gives me an excuse to try it. :)

We should be able to reload the config with the following command: killall -SIGUSR1 conky The tricky part now is figuring out how to change the colors.

icf20 commented 7 years ago

well conky restarts and reload the conyrc file after a change

just start conky like this conky -c bla/bla/conkyrc

cat .cache/wal/colors.sh|grep 'color0='| cut -c10-15

give a color in terminal but conky

conky: can't parse X color 'cat.cache/wal/colors.sh|grep 'color0='| cut -c10-15'

i am doing something wrong and i dont know what

edit old config files for conky tail -n 15 .cache/wal/colors.sh|sed "s/[=\'#]/ /g" prints the list of colours new config files

grep color .cache/wal/colors.sh|sed "s/$/,/g"

look like $exec{grep color .cache/wal/colors.sh|sed "s/$/,/g"} dont work i will try to find why
