I present here the antiX-Conky modified by me
to the community.

I have included above the Greek spelling of antiX as published by @anticapitalista. If you don’t want that, you can comment out or comment in lines 1 and 2.

Below I have included the simplest Accuweather weather from @TBG. This can also be removed, if you don’t want it, by commenting out lines 135-144. The last line 145, a blank line, must be kept.

For those who want to have the weather, the following preparations must be made:

1. in a terminal enter this command
git clone https://gitlab.com/teobigusgeekus/Accuweather_conky_script.git
that will create the directory “Accuweather_conky_script” in your /home, where the script and the necessary data will be.

2. open a browser with the link address: ( https://www.accuweather.com/ ) and search your city. When you find it, copy the whole line.(Ctrl+l)

3. go to the directory Accuweather_conky_script and search the script “accuweather” and open it. In lines 12-16 you already see such address lines. Paste your copied one according to this pattern. Comment the line from Kastoria from (#). Save the script and close it.
Check and make the script executable.

4. create a directory .fonts in your /home.
Download the font monofur with your browser at the address ( https://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=monofur ) into your download directory. Unzip the .zip file and copy/move the monof55.ttf and monof56.ttf into the newly created and hidden folder .fonts . Do the same with the fonts ConkyWeather.ttf and ConkyWindNESW.otf from the Accuweather_conky_script directory.
If you have these 4 fonts in .fonts you have to make your system familiar with them. To do this, open a terminal again and enter the command (as user):
fc-cache -v -f
That’s it.
Now you can call the conky in the terminal (I assume you have killed an already running conky before, otherwise this new one will be on top).

Since the terminal is still open
conky -c ~/.conkyrc1 &
You see how the script fetches the data. When it’s done, the conky will appear on the desk. But maybe Conky is too fast and the data is “getting used to”. Therefore kill the Conky in a second terminal with
pkill -xf "conky -c /home/user/.conkyrc1" &
wait a bit and start it again in the first terminal after you killed the conky process there with Ctrl+c.

Have fun!

In the syntax of the conky version1.9 there is still the command
pre_exec

You could use this command like this

${goto 10}Weather
#${font DejaVu Sans:size=8.5}${texeci 1200 curl -s 'wttr.in/Stockholm?format=+%l+%c+%t+%w+%P+%h+%m+&M'}
${font DejaVu Sans:size=8.5}${pre_exec curl -s 'wttr.in/Stockholm?format=+%l+%S+%s&M'}${font}

Try it out.

Not really. Now you can install the ft10-transformation package. It creates a menu entry, “Weather”, that summons a small terminal window (so it fits most displays) that shows wttr.in, using a better way to get the user’s location, and also localizes its contents to the system’s language.

I do love the conky displaying the weather, I had mine showing just text, this is much nicer!

I have not visited the forum for a while, but I noticed these weather suggestions for conky. So I wanted to try them out because they might be useful for me.

I was able to get them to work. Thank you.
I wanted two weather locations so I added these lines to the .conkyrc file

Waukee weather:
${font DejaVu Sans:bold:size=9.82}${texeci 1200 curl 'wttr.in/waukee?u?q?0T?Q'}${font}

Green Bay weather:
${font DejaVu Sans:bold:size=9.82}${texeci 1200 curl 'wttr.in/green+bay?u?q?0T?Q'}${font}

I was also able to load the weather on startup in roxterm using the links2 program.
I added the following line to startup:

x-terminal-emulator --geometry 130x80+200+0 -e links2 wttr.in/waukee &

People will have to modify the location and also the size of the roxterm window for individual situations.
Thanks for these tips.

If you want to display a simple weather in your antiX conky, you should first influence the size of the conky window:
Above TEXT would be

# Minimum size of text area
minimum_size 180 620
maximum_width 180

180 for the width and 620 for the length

Below TEXT this would be at the end

Weather
${font DejaVu Sans:size=8} ${texeci 1200 curl 'wttr.in/KSO?q?0T?Q'}${font}

or
${font DejaVu Sans:size=8} ${texeci 1200 curl 'wttr.in/KSO?u?q?0T?Q'}${font}

curl retrieves the weather of your location here every 20minutes.
Used wttr.in from chubin, here with the IATA code of Kastoria airport (GR). The unit of measurement is additionally converted with “?u”.
So if you prefer °F instead of °C.

This is a weather conky based on the scripts of @TeoBigusGeekus — https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=189

-WUnderground conky script – All users and
-Moongiant conky script

The basic idea comes from @Sector11 with the accuweather-script.
Based on that @unklar realized it with the wunderground-script. I stole everything from both.

Interestingly, about 5 or 10 minutes later it did switch to ft10. My guess is it was doing the installs but not showing anything on the screen.

If it would be easy, I’d suggest just letting it output what is going on to a terminal window so I know its still working on it.

I tested the toolbar icon manager, and I like that it now uses app-select. I double clicked the program and it added the icon to the toolbar.

Searchmonkey looks like it has oodles of features, haven’t really tried it yet.

The Weather icon works here 🙂

I like that it changed the default file manager and the way zzzfm installed, no surprise programs running on the first click.

One thing missing is a “Show Desktop” icon. Maybe we could make one without using the IceWM one?

Something I do miss from conky and the IceWM monitors is some sort of readout on what is my wifi IP address, and is there data moving up/down, which ConnMan doesn’t show. I don’t need to see it all the time, but it would be nice if it was readily available. I noticed that right clicking the CPU monitor ran a program, and just wondering if there is something already included in antiX we could run if you right click the network icon?

I tried the updater icon, and it works. Is it going to check for updates automatically periodically, or just when clicked? Normal users don’t think of those things till its too late and something blows up is something I’ve seen too many times. I have some code that runs from cron if interested…

All in all, it’s impressive! Very friendly 🙂

@BobC – No hurry! I’m quite happy with how FT10 looks and feels.

I just fixed, in the latest version 0.9.9.4 (https://gitlab.com/antix-contribs/ft10-transformation/-/blob/main/packages/ft10-transformation_0.9.9.4-testing_all.deb), the “+/-” English tooltip, to be more descriptive, and also reworked a bit the window that manages the menu, so the “tiles” button is easier to use (changed its icon and also, when you toggle Titles on/off, the menu pops open, so you can instantly see the change).

My goal is that FT10 makes antiX as easier to use as possible, allowing quick and easy access to the most used features (and also adding a few tiny ones, like the weather and news apps). I trully hope that any newbie using FT10 will almost instantly get how it works, and how to customize it. I tried to address some of the points many newbies raised in the forum, over time: How do I add icons to the toolbar? How to change the clock? How do add an application to the menu? Ft10 also makes it easier and faster to find applications, search for file and update the system.
I used to hate the Tiles on Windows 8, but I hope that the Tiled menu offers a fast way to perform most of the basic tasks (the first section is related to the generic apps- file manager, web browser, etc, plus the calculator), then Office work (also pdf documents reader and mtpaint) and on-line services (youtube, weather, news and access to bit torrents)- it includes conky toggle because it can be handy to quickly toogle it on/off. The single remaining space in the Tiles section I have reserved it for gnome clocks, in my system- because if you are at the computer and want to set an alarm do to something, it’s faster to use it than using a smartphone). The single feature I would like to be on the tiles would be a nice Gui Calendar (sea monkey’s Calendar is great, but, by default it’s not a stand alone app- it can become one, installing an extension).

The biggest criticism I can make to FT10 is not having a GUI to edit the Tiles… They can be edited manually, but it’s not a very intuitive task, because the application, the icon, and the title for each Tile are mixed with a bunch of numbers that set the Tile position… If you want to manually edit the tiles, you can do so, editing “~/.config/jgmenu/tiles.csv” in a text editor, Back it up first, just in case…

Version 0.9.7.2 is out (the .2 is due to me always messing up when creating the .deb package with the intended changes), once again with tiny improvements:
– New default “tiles” in the menu: mpaint, Weather, News
– New option on the toolbar manager- “Show window titles on toolbar”
– Reworked the toolbar manager so on/off settings work just by clicking the button, without further warning- just click the respective buttons to: toogle autohide toolbar; 24/12h clock; Display window titles in toolbar.

Easy TO DO’s:
-Add an option, to the toolbar manager to toggle on/off the system resources gauge (it’s only really useful for folks with low end computers, for those that never have problem with CPU/RAM usage, it just takes up toolbar space…)
-Change some icons
-improve localization

Hard TO DO’s (possible not ever implemented):
– Light toolbar, with a GUI way to switch between light/dark modes (that would also change gtk themes to match the toolbar)

@Bobc – I have one empty “tile” on my default layout, I’ll try placing a title to toogle conky on/off- it has it’s uses, after all, like checking out network at a glance…
I get that automatically disabling conky and volume icon would make it even simpler to set up FT10 for a newbie- the only reason I’ve not implemented this yet is this: I don’t want to change any setting that affects a Window Manager other than the one where FT10 got installed- so users can switch to pristine WM’s quickly if they want to, or if they manually mess up the tint2 config file…
Probably next week, I’ll go back to the roots of the transformation pack and create a .deb package “pro” version- that forces installation of zzzfm, forces zzzfm as default file manager (it would be perfect if I found a way to also automatically apply the recycle bin/bookmark changes, not no can do, at least for now), disable volumeicon and conky…
Any other automatic change you would like me to try to apply in the “pro” version of the transformation pack?

As always, enjoy

LOL!
Thanks for your input, Moddit! I had to use an on-line translator for the first German phrase and I have to guess the meaning of the second one…
I’ll see what I can do about mimicking Forced Updates and Blue Screens Of Death…

Now seriously – I wanted, with this project, to achieve several things:
– Get a system that I love using and filled any my UI needs.
– Get a system that helped me adapt to when I’m forced to work with Windows 10
– … Make that available to other antiX users
– … and finally turn experimenting with antiX into a easier and more pleasurable experience for non-linux users and maybe help antiX gain some more users. It’s not meant “to be Windows”, just be as easy, or easier to use as Windows, for folks that have only known that operating system.

I agree with anticapitalista that this Transformation Pack is not meant as a general antiX user interface- it violates several antiX principles- it includes a new toolbar that takes slightly more resources than the default toolbars that come with our Window Managers, it includes a new menu, that also takes slightly more resources (although it’s configured to not stay resident in RAM, so it only uses resources when it’s being displayed) when we have amazing default menus, very uniform across all 3 window managers.

But that slight increase on resource usage has to be put into context- the toolbar includes stuff that make using both Conky and Volumeicon irrelevant- not running those 2 apps makes running FT10 use less system resources than the default setup… All that making some nice extras available to the user: easy to read system resources monitor, easy access to Connman Network Manager and volume (without using any extra RAM). Also offers previews of running windows, and a menu that allows fast search of apps- app-select is great (and I use to as a way to select apps to be added to the menu) but fast it’s not, on very old machines- jgmenu’s search is instant!

Also the “+/-” icon makes it easy for anyone to manage toolbar icons (and right clicking that icon is a way more friendlier and safe experience to manage the toolbar than the default tint2 config GUI)

The menu makes it easy to manage favorite/pinned apps (in Windows lingo). Maybe we should include, out of the box, as a favorite, the menu entry to toggle between categories/tiled menu templates- both I and Xecure tried to appeal to both folks that like the cleaner look of Windows 10 menu, and the default general Linux menus, with categories (tip: for those that like Windows 11 menu, the menu entry that manages favorites also allows to toggle between displaying/hiding Tiles.

I also though that antiX users deserved some simple and tiny apps, like Weather and News (I’ll be adding those as “tiles” in a future version). I also would like to add a tiny open source alarm/count-down timer- I found one in the Busen labs forum, but it does not state it’s OpenSource in the code… and some functions do not work in antiX (canceling the alarm, disabling to system tray icon).- Way of into the future I’ll probably try making a script inspired by that one… it’s not a priority.
Also a nice “hidden feature” is that you can create ~/yad-agenda.txt ~/yad-calendar.txt and insert events (starting with the date, as used by your system by default), a space and then the entry for that day)- those events will be displayed when the user hover the mouse point on that day, on the menu- it does not include any alarms, it’s just a complementary way to keep track of events, that does not cost any system resources).

@Moddit- is there any interest in helping localize FT10 to German? 🙂

@BobC – You can try using the menu with categories, to get a more “Windows7” feel from the Transformation Pack- we tried to please both Windows7 and Windows10 cast aways 🙂
I have more recent versions, with some improvements (mostly, a “show desktop” bar, on the further right, and many localization improvements- the script to add/remove toolbar icons now shows the icons, not just app names…
Well, my slowest machine is a 32bits/1gb RAM HP laptop that runs great with antiX 19,4 runit, min-fluxbox and FT10, no desktop icons, no conky, no volume icon… I also have jgmenu configured to stay memory resident, so it opens faster on that machine – that’s the setup I use, even on my quad-core/4gb/SSD desktop… Except when opening large apps (Libreoffice/firefox) there isn’t that big of difference between those machines that have maybe a 10 years age gap, maybe more…

Edit: Weird, your Windows 7 situation- my netbook still has Windows7Pro on it (it came that way, from factory, I kept it because it also has a licensed MS Word installation, that may be handy for some documents), last time I booted into it, a few months ago, it worked fine (but I don’t think I connected to the internet)

Personal note: I’ve been using my tint2 for a very long time- I got used to seeing the system resources on the toolbar, in a easy human readable format, and also having the network/volume/weather icons on the “pseudo” system tray, without eating my system resources, and recently I’ve become very adapted to the menu that allows me locate and launch apps much faster than running the excelent app-select (I was tempted to use app-select’s output to add icons the toolbar/menu, it’s that flexible, but I digress).
If your users like the toolbar or any of the 2 available menus, you probably won’t have to do much maintenance- the way to add/remove apps to the toolbar and to the menu is self evident. with the package installer, antix updater and the log off button on the toolbar, there’s not much need to use the menu, and with the system resources displayed on the toolbar, there’s no much need for conky (the same can be said for the default icewm toolbar, but it’s much harder to read system resources from it). With the GUI tint2_manager.sh script (sadly, not localized) changing the toolbar position/size/auto hide is simple (we need a .desktop to launch it) is also a breeze… and you would not have much work helping managing those computers…

${execi 1000 persist-enabled} not sure what this line does. comes up as a blank line for me..
${battery_percent BAT0} change to what your battery number BAT0 BAT1 etc.

Links for you..

Please don’t bring politics here.

I wasn’t sure if this subforum is the place to post this, but if not, feel free to move it, so long as I can still edit/read it later. 🙂

I took the default .conkyrc from antix 19 base, and customized! It was made for version 17, but now modified for 19, and verified to also work on 17 again.

Changed things like the Title (top line) from static text (antix1) to data pulled from the system via CLI (terminal).
That way it is live, and reflects the version number.

There are now (more?) horizontal lines between separate items, like Title and Time. Double line below Title, single dotted line elsewhere, for a lighter touch. Time is PM (12 hour time), unlike the tray, which is 24 hour time. Day of the week and month is abbreviated, else it overflows the screen on Wednesday or December.

Weather info. See comments in file for URL to reconfigure for your locale.

CPU temp. works for this model (Nokia Booklet 3G), YMMV if sensor is not detected or without a driver.

WLAN info, including current ESSID, LAN IP, Signal Strength, etc.

AC adapter and battery status (also may be model dependent, and may not display exactly without reconfiguration)

Text I find important is highlighted blue (color8), (color) is white. See file for examples.

Left or right aligned, or centered, to be readable.

All text, for less moving stuff to overload CPU/GPU, and take less space on screen, this screen is only 1280 x 720.

Enjoy. 🙂

PPC, I guess that weather site is no longer working, but I imagine there are other options to get it and display it, even maybe by using a “Weather Conky” that just runs when you tell it to, and gets killed when you close it.

The disk space couldn’t run as part of the CPU option, but I created a separate option for it and fixed the df command. For slower machines it would make sense to run them on a wider interval.

I removed the second volume icon.

Its using 146 mb of memory at idle, which is higher than IceWM (I think), but it is nice. It’s definitely much more comfortable to work than normal FluxBox. Tint2 even has an “autohide” ability, and your separate toolbar icon manager was a nice touch.

All in all, you really made it familiar that a non-technical person could use and tweak easily themselves. The only part I had to fix by hand was the disk space.

Hi everyone.

Some weeks ago I began experimenting with tint2 toolbar- it’s a feature rich toolbar, also very nice looking and with small resources footprint – I use it to have fluxbox use even less idle RAM, while having all the resources I need:
– the toolbar has “quick launch” icons, very easy to manage- so, I do not need to have desktop icons
– the toolbar is configured to display RAM and CPU usage, so I do not need to run Conky
– the toolbar includes a simple “volume manager” GUI, so I do not need volume-icon running.

It’s configured to have many resources available in the Windows 10 toolbar, and even some more…

I do not think, for now, this merits a spin, but, using Skidoo’s advice, maybe a “transformation pack”.
You can safely install it into bare metal, but I would advise to try it first on a live system or virtual machine.
The install script downloads and installs tint2, rofi and skippy-xd (only the first package is essential), configures the tint2 toolbar, makes spacefm the default file manager, sets min-fluxbox to be the default desktop. and edits some configurations on fluxbox init file. Back that file up before running the script or, if after running the script, simply delete the last lines appended to the init file to get back your default fluxbox toolbar.
To get back to your default desktop log off and press F1 until you see the desired desktop name (ex: the default is rox-icewm), enter your password, and you’re back to good old default antiX)

Edit#
Script’s requirements: – antix 19.X “full” – internet connection Inserted on request from PPC

How to download the “transformation pack”:
for now it’s available here:
# https://gofile.io/d/rA8FR6 Edit: requested by PPC
Click the “download” button and you’re set.

The script is also mirrored here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/g3njbppcma87fwp/AADEXZ7RxETYwmIrr0rxCczCa?dl=0

How to install the transformation pack”:
-Menu > Applications > System > SpaceFM
-Navigate to where you downloaded the file mentioned above. Right click to select it > Proprieties > permitions > Check the first box next to “execute” or “executable” (there’s no harm if you check all 3 boxes on that column) > click “ok”
-Now right click that file again and choose “execute”
– A GUI that looks just like antiX updater will check for updates. when it’s finished, click “ok” on the window that pops up. Wait a few seconds (depending on your internet connection speed- on mine the entire process takes less than a minute).
-If all goes well, you’ll get a new toolbar, very similar to the Windows 10 one.

How to use the toolbar:
The first 4 icons on the left are:
– “Start menu” – left clicking it summons the fluxbox menu, right click it summons tint2’s “proprieties” window – be careful with that: I would advise to use only the “launcher” tab – to add/remove icons to the toolbar launcher section
– “Find” -left clicking it summons the incredibly fast rofi locate script; right clicking it summons app-select. Middle clicking it summon the very fast rofi app starter – begin typing your app’s name or description, click it from the list…
– “Window switcher” – left click summons a very nice looking live preview of all non minimized windows (skippy-xd), right click minimizes all open windows (so you can see the desktop)
– “File Manager” (spacefm)

Then there’s a list of “launcher” icons you can manage from tint2’s “properties” window

Then icons of the running applications. Hover over them to get the window name and preview. Left click the icon to change to that window, middle click to toggle that window’s size, right click closes that window…

To the right is:
-percentual indication of CPU usage
– RAM usage, in Mb
– Internet (wi-fi) icon – clicking it summons connman’s cmst, – click the “wireless” tab to manage wi-fi networks
– Volume (left click the icon to get the volume applet, right click it to close the volume applet)
– Weather app ( Wttr.in)
– system tray (by default is should display nothing – because the volume and network icons are embebed on the toolbar bar, not displayed in the system tray)
– Clock and date (left click it summons the calendar GUI)
– Exit button (launches the “exit session” window)

Note: I do not expect this to be very heavily used because folks that need it the most, windows refugees will find it hard to perform the necessary steps to install this 🙂

My goal is to reduce to the minimum the need to use menus, everything is available from the toolbar…
