I love how much scaffolding there is even for something this simple. A whole CLI help interface and everything
Fantastic little example project tbh

I've had this sitting around for a while.
-- ~/.config/conky/activate.lua
conky.config = {
own_window = true,
own_window_type = "desktop",
own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_transparent = true,
double_buffer = true,
xinerama_head = 0,
alignment = "bottom_right",
gap_x = 9,
gap_y = 20,
use_xft = true,
default_color = "00AAAAAA",
}
conky.text = [[
${font Noto Sans:size=14}Activate GNU/Linux${font}
${font Noto Sans:size=9}Go to Settings to activate GNU/Linux
Kernel version: ${exec uname -r}${font}
]]
I could probably make the font more transparent but it's just for a lark anyways.
hell yeah throwback to conky tweaking in tiling wm
Conky doesn't work correctly in the tiling wm I use because it doesn't properly implement the Wayland protocol conky uses. So now I have to use eww and learn a custom LISP dialect and use CSS. Fortunately its scss.
Oh look
Anyways. Its cool that the author did it the hard way and I'm sure they learned a lot doing so but people shouldn't actually use it. I wouldn't bother maintaining an AUR package for this.
As I says elsewhere in this thread, I think this is a good little example project for people dipping their toes into making packages. I know I'll probably use it as reference if I ever get around to making a package that isn't just for PyPi lol
:trailer-park-boys-conky:
That's great
Why would I though? :3
Kidding, it might be useful for new converts
Looks great!
Very nicely crusty/"jpeg"ed image.

Crust is yummy.
Great, now I can finish setting up the laptop I've had for years
