Conky Horizontal

# Conky configuration script.
# Filename: .conkyrc2
# Version: 020612
# Author: robz
# This config will give you a horizontal layout with a screen aspect ratio of
# 16:9 sized for 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution monitor.
# You'll need the lm-sensors & hddtemp packages from the repositories -
# sudo apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp - follow the setup procedures in the
# man pages, you'll also need my rhythmbox-progbar script see below.
# The hard drive names and locations will probably need to be changed to suit
# your PC as will the lm-sensors cpu and motherboard temperatue names, maybe
# the name of your network interface as well :)
# To start, in a terminal - conky -d -c <path to .conkyrc2>
# Or as a startup application - conky -d -p15 -c <path to .conkyrc2>
# OK here - we - go!

Progress Bar Script.

#!/bin/bash
# Filename: rhythmbox-progbar
# Author: robz
# Version: 060412
# Provide data for Conky to draw a progress bar for Rhythmbox music player.
# Update for Ubuntu 12.04 beta
# Now at this present date (see Version:) the call to "rhythmbox-client" for
# song duration doesn't appear to work anymore, you get a "divide by zero"
# error, so, to avoid the APOCALYPSE! use this instead.

POS=$(qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.rhythmbox \
/org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get \
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player Position)/1000000

Nice work!

Can you explain in detail how does goto work? What is the position represented by the number there?

Hi Karthik, the goto refers to horizontal position in pixels from the left margin
see: http://conky.sourceforge.net/documentation.html for all info.
