How'd you do the bit at the bottom of conky, where it tells you what's compiling?
is it just a function of Gentoo's package manager? i've never tried Gentoo...
Sort of, the package manager spits tons of crap out into various logs, then you've got applications that read the logs, and return things like ETAs, whatever is compiling, etc. It's pretty awesome.
Ah, the old log-parsing shell script trick
That's a pretty busy system you've got there. Using conky for that?
Yep, I thought of having it post the output of `fortune | cowsay -f tux` too, could be pretty cool.
heh
might take some tinkering, some of the fortunes are loooooooong....
oh, just had an idea: tux, but the speech bubble doesn't pop up until you mouse-over/click
don't think conky'd work, but dzen might...
What options are you passing it? I'm using "-cfC" an haven't noticed shadows. However, I usually have a dark wallpaper...
Quick man lookup: -C When -c is specified, attempts to avoid painting shadows on panels and docks.
Running the same thing, but I still get shadows, odd.
check conky's config, especially the
own_window options
own_window yes
own_window_class Conky
own_window_hints skip_pager
own_window_type desktop #I think this's the important one
own_window_transparent true
