Conky Weather Script (Wetter in Conky anzeigen)

Um Wetterdaten in Conky anzuzeigen bzw. einzubinden, habe ich eine sehr lange Zeit das in den Ubuntu Repos verfügbare Paket “conkyWeather” (so ähnlich müsste der Name von dem Paket gewesen sein) benutzt. Leider ist dieses Paket schon länger nicht mehr in den Repos und ich musste mich nach einer alternativen Möglichkeit umgucken. Andere Wetter-Programme haben mir nicht wirklich gefallen, wegen fehlender Anpassbarkeit und Design. Hier musste wieder Conky herhalten. Dazu habe ich im Crunchbag-Forum ein paar nette Conky Weather Scripts gefunden und ein Design nach meinen Vorstellungen angepasst:

conky_weatherAus dem Forum habe ich das Script 1b1AccuWeather benutzt und etwas modifiziert (minimalistischer).

In der Datei “1b1” muss zunächst einmal der AccuWeather Link für einen bestimmten Ort angepasst werden (ab Zeile 3), hier z.B. für Dortmund:

#put your Accuweather address here
#address="http://www.accuweather.com/en/gr/kastoria/178682/weather-forecast/178682"
address="http://www.accuweather.com/en/de/dortmund/44137/weather-forecast/170370"
#address="http://www.accuweather.com/en/ca/scarborough/m1h/weather-forecast/55049"

In der Datei “.conkyrc_1b1_int” müssen ggf. bestimmte Conky-Optionen angepasst werden (wie z.B. xftfont etc.)

# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

# Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)
double_buffer yes

# fiddle with window
use_spacer yes
use_xft yes

# Update interval in seconds

# Minimum size of text area

gap_y 600

Um verschiedene Conky-Config-Files zu starten, kann man sich ein kleines Start-Script schreiben:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 10 && conky -c /home/user/1b1_accuweather_images/.conkyrc_1b1_int &
sleep 10 && conky -c /home/user/.conkyrc &

    Hello and thank you for sharing your minimalist weather conky script. The only web page I found with reference to the images is on this URL https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139962 and what were once the download links, I believe are no longer live hyperlinks. If you have the images file >1b1_accuweather_images< available, could you please email it to me? Much appreciated & many thanks.
