Changing borders colors of graphs and bars

Language

English Français

Example for graphs

default_color FFFFFF #white
draw_graph_borders yes
color1 00FF00 # green

TEXT
${color1} ${cpugraph 50,200 FFFF00 FF0000 s}

The default color of graph borders is whatever the conky default color is set to using:

default_color

Second line is needed for drawing borders:

draw_graph_borders yes

When setting

${color xxxxxx}

in front of the graph, it changes the color of the border.

Then we change the color of the graph with:

${cpugraph 50,200 FFFF00 FF0000 s}

default_bar_size  200 25
color1 00FF99
color2 FF00FF 

TEXT
$color1 ${cpubar}
${voffset -43}${color2} ${execbar echo 0}

First line defines the default size of all graphs:

default_bar_size  200 25

Then we define two colors:

color1 00FF99
color2 FF00FF

We draw the cpubar with color1:

${color1} ${cpubar}

And then, we draw a second bar at the same position (with voffset). This second bar has a value of O, so only the border is shown

${voffset -43}${color2} ${execbar echo 0}

Alternative, draw a bar with a cpu that is not on your computer, the output will be zero

${voffset -43}${color2} ${cpubar cpu5}

Note: the value used for $voffset needs to be adjusted for your own conky.

The same on one line:

${goto 0}$color2 ${cpubar}${goto 0}$color3 ${execbar echo 0}
