Clocks 1 to 9
Language | English Français |
These fine clocks come from t-mo_ who creates nothing but the best for conky.
Here’s what Timo has to say:
I made some more clock faces, if anyone else can use them… They are all stand alone clocks in the upper right corner. Although it may be that you have to fiddle with voffset and goto.
I could use some help with the scripts I made, they are just too long. I am sure one could make a script with only a few lines but I have no idea how to do it (python?).
I have a seconds arm font, too. But the script I made for it took to much CPU power, and the seconds arm was not in step I guess it needs a better “pace maker” than:
{{ ${execpi 1 date blablabla} }}
I would be very grateful if somebody could help/lead me to make a better script.
Thanks and have a nice Day
Timo
This call was then answered by Crinos512 , who wrote this clock.sh (included in the zip file below.)
A solid background, no numbers and complete with the date.
Here’s the conky that did it (don’t bother to copy and paste it, it’s included in the archive at the bottom, along with others):

What you will need for some of the clocks is the font: clockfaces.ttf to draw the clock face, that makes sense, of which there are 5 to choose from the letters; O, P, Q R & S (CAPS ONLY)
All of the clocks need:
zoracklockD.ttf
zoracklockH.ttf
zoracklockM.ttf
Some of them need clockfaces.ttf, as this one does, and the ubuntu clock (coming soon) needs the 911 Porscha.ttf
The script needed for these clocks; clock.sh. Remember to make it executable. If you want you can put them in your home directory. I prefer to keep all my conky scripts in ~/Conky/scripts:
In the script above you see:
~/clock.sh
for me, I use:
~/Conky/scripts/clock.sh
It keeps all my conky scripts together.
The archive has 9 different clocks complete with the fonts and the scripts to use them:
The archive: 9-clocks.tar.gz
And there you have it. 9 clocks for conky.
Thank you t-mo_ & Crinos512
Happy conkying Bruce
