I found this little application called conky wizard. It is currently setup to build a ubuntu themed conky. Would like to here thoughts and opinions on this one, installed size = 2.2mb. Just like the google code site says, it is great for people who would like a fancy system moniter, without knowing the"language". Thought I would share __{{emoticon}}__

thanks for sharing this nice little program!
i love conky but configuring it is not my speciality, so this program will be very useful!

edit: this program might fit well in the quick-start guide, so even more people can enjoy configuring conky!

Dave:
looks nice __{{emoticon}}__
uses Qt __{{emoticon}}__
maybe conky fans prefer editing the config files __{{emoticon}}__

Thanks for pointing me to QtWizard => I discovered Gtk.Assistant
Maybe Dave might be interested in that, for the installer...

Best,
Yves

lagopus,
maybe fans wil prefer to edit the config files, but what about people wo don't like editing config files?
they should also be able to enjoy conky and maybe this program will let them.
i'm just gonna put it in the guide for people wanting a way to edit conky without editing files.
but maybe a quick how to on editing the config files could also be helpful...

Yes, I do think that conky fans would prefer editing their own config files, but I thought this would be a good one for those that like conky but are not a"conky fan". Most of the people I have installed antiX for love antiX, the speed, the ease of access to applications, and that it"just works". These people like to edit their antiX, but they do not want to know how it works. This is why I have made apps like add-key and add-start, these apps allow them to add their own little something without knowing how it works. It appears that the convert is the same way, and this is why when I came across this I thought I would share.

lagopus, gtk.assistant does look very interesting I will take a peer at it.

EDIT: the convert, for the quick start I would just throw out where .conkyrc is, how to access / edit it, a quick example, and then a link to sites like

url was:"http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html"
linktext was:"http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html"
====================================
. As it is a"quick start" guide, to much detail will give people the idea that it is"over their heads" and they will skip the guide and look into places like here. This in my mind defeats the purpose of a quick start guide, just another suggestion.

dave, a little comment:
i also like to know how it works but sometimes, not having to manually edit a config file can be easy when you (maybe temporary) don't understand how. which is the case for me and conky. i have to admit i've never realy made an attemp cuz i use rokytnjis setup edited a little bit.
should make an attempt sometime though...

Dave:
About wizards:

I did not find a lot of examples about Gtk.Assistant
There is PyGtk tutorial Chapter 66

====================================

A far more interesting example is Dialogues With Multiple Pages Using Gtk_Assistant

url was:"http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?tut-gtk2-dialog-assistant"
linktext was:"http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki. ... -assistant"
====================================
in the Ruby/GTK2 Tutorial
I translated the first ruby-gtk example to pygtk. (in the tarball attached under assistant-ruby.py)

Enjoy

Thanks again lagopus,
I have only begun to look into this, but I am already liking it. It makes it much more easy than how I have been previously working with it. Before, i was building the whole gui, then hiding and showing parts in the main window to make it"appear" as the pages were changing. This should work out allot better, but I will need to look at it a bit more. Thanks for mentioning and the examples, will let you know how I make out with the installer.

Dave
