Uses any text file with delimiters, and a template
There is no support page for this app, therefore no page to direct you to. However one you have any of K’s apps from the repos, just do a search for “conky” you will see it.
It’s so simple! It reads “delimited” text files and puts the output on the screen like a spreadsheet – without the boxes – different fonts, colours etc are allowed. For example the TV schedule on the left. it has three columns, I could have added a fourth and had the TV channels a different colour but … this is the way it is. :)
The one line in a conky file and the text file:
${font DejaVu Sans Mono:bold:size=9}${execpi 7200 conkyText --template=/home/bruloo/Conky/scripts/conkyText.template --textfile=/home/bruloo/Conky/conkyText.txt}$color
conkyText.template – it’s a big one:
${color0}; ${goto 30}${color3}; ${goto 85}${color8};
The text file: it has changed a bit. :)
