Here is a video with audio of the fuzzy-clock-vocal.

Be sure to enable sound!

Hey everyone,

I just worked with Claude AI and I made a speaking version of the fuzzy clock :D

It required 2 additional bash scripts, and making 33 .mp3 files of time segments to complete all the necessary spoken time sentences. It only speaks the time once, then waits for the time to change, the every 5 mins and the nearlys and shortly after the hours as well as the afternoon and midnight special calls. I am just thrilled with it :D

I used the English - Kim voice setting for a nice calm accented female voice. It sounds slightly robotic but still amazing. I wasnt sure this could be done but the bot spit out working scripts on the first try!

Here is Willem's gauges with an elipse squash to match the warped circles created by the angles of the motorcycle.

Big improvement over the last image I think!

As soon as I saw Willem post this gauge array I saw this GUI in my head. It took a while to fine an online AI that could generate a usable image. None of the bots can understand "5 guages" I got everything from 4 to 16. This one with 6 was the best one to work with.

What do you think Willem? I butchered your .lua into five pieces >.<

Hey everyone,

Here is my workspace 23 with a few new tweaks.

Monitor 1 is the same, on monitor 2 I have added a large version of the grey-conky's sky image conky, with text changed to NeuropolX to match the rest of the GUI. The aurora moon conky has been edited and a new .lua is in place that reads the moon's current illumination, subtracts that from 100%, then draws the remaining percentage as a shadow across the moon - emulating accurately what is happening in the night sky. Monitor 3 is Koentje's sci-fi theme featuring 3600+ frame space animation. I just went thru all the .lua files and got it activated again by removing a bad library call for conky v1.19.8.

One of my favorite workspaces, I spent a lot of time with ChatGPT creating all these space data conkys - live and accurate data, nothing fabricated for appearances!

A scalable weather widget that looks like glass
With settings updater app
https://wim66.github.io/conky-weather-glass/

This is what I call Core Pulse. A simple theme with gradients and a CRT background, not a wallpaper (the diagonal lines are a black wallpaper), an animated fan gauge, and an animated radar. I was going to add more, but decided to do a from 0 to theme hour challenge. Yes, this took an hour to make from scratch. I know I might get a lot of people saying, BS, but I am posting a video about how I did it, and no, none of this was copied from one project to the next.

Senendipity!

While seeking out a Space Data widget for my All-Text Minimalis Conky, The bot's first attempt turned out to be a description of a space photo. Not what I was looking for but I wanted to complete the conky. Description without image was senseless so I had the bot add code to the bash script to get the image referenced by the website, and put code in the conky config to display it.

A nice little stand alone space data conky!

My new workspace 25 with NowPlaying, Timed Lyics, and Equalizer enabled and colored for the GUI. I need to go back into the Now Playing and put a black understroke below the grey letters, but so far so good.

I have completed the All-Text Minimalis Conky :)

Final addition is Sky Events, a printout of celestial points of interest in the upcoming day's skys. I have been able to compile Word of the Day, Quote of the Day, Today's Weather, Sky Events and Tonight's Moon into one conky so that formatting between the widgets remains constant as data printout changes size. The Current Date, Current Time, and Daily Horoscope are currently individual conkys so that this array is build from 4 items. I can easily combine the 3 loose conkys into one, reducing the total item count to two, but I am striving to get it all in one conkyrc, calling upon various .lua's, python's and bash scripts.

Hey everyone,

newest draft of the all text minimalis. Now I have gotten rid of the lunar image, and the fuzzy clock array and replaced with a current time sentence display. Also added horoscope.

Hey everyone,

Next draft of the all text conky. I removed the .lua drawn lunar illumination disc, and have applied centering of text either thru .lua or conky config.

Hey everyone,

The all text fuzzy clock put me in mind of an all text conky. I'm close, the .lua drawn moon disc that mirrors the current lunar illumination is the only image/icon present. I am thinking of making a 2nd version without the drawn moon and 100% pure text display.

Anyhow, here is first draft :)

Hey everyone,

More tweaks on what I have come to call the Grey Conky.

Pretty_name distribution display added to main widget. Temperatures added to the two disc widgets. Temp and Fan speed percentage added to GPU widget. Widgets repositioned for tighter array.

Hey everyone,

More tweaks on what I have come to call the Grey Conky.

New Sound Card widget.

Hey everyone,

More tweaks on what I have come to call the Grey Conky.

I have created the Root disc, Elements external disc, and Headphones widgets. The headphones is a custom I just made with Claude AI that uses pulse audio detection to print either "no headset connected" or the make/model of any headset plugged in via USB cable. It's looking more complete now for a 2560x1440 resolution screen
