Also grabbed the wood floor wallpaper, etc - been using standard Flux styles for a while; time to redecorate!

cheers,

Great and Thanks!!

I've been playing with it also. Here is a section for laptops that shows wifi and battery:

Code:

NETWORK  ${hr 1}
${if_up eth0}
${alignc}eth0
Up:     ${alignr}${upspeed eth0}KB/s
Total:  ${alignr}${totalup eth0}
 
Down:   ${alignr}${downspeed eth0}KB/s
Total:  ${alignr}${totaldown eth0}
$endif${if_up eth1}
${alignc}eth1
ESSID: ${alignr}${wireless_essid eth1}
Bitrate: ${alignr}${wireless_bitrate eth1}
Signal: ${wireless_link_qual_perc eth1}% ${wireless_link_bar eth1}

Up:     ${alignr}${upspeed eth1}KB/s
Total:  ${alignr}${totalup eth1}

Down:   ${alignr}${downspeed eth1}KB/s
Total:  ${alignr}${totaldown eth1}
$endif
BATTERY  ${hr 1}

Battery: ${battery_percent}% ${battery_bar}
Battery Time: ${alignr}${battery_time}

You will need to compile conky with --enable-wlan to get the wifi to work. Also note that on my laptop eth0 is wired and eth1 is wifi. If yours is different you will need to change it.

Nice contribution..........it's good to see that it is being used by others.
