I love how much scaffolding there is even for something this simple. A whole CLI help interface and everything

Fantastic little example project tbh

I've had this sitting around for a while.

-- ~/.config/conky/activate.lua
conky.config = {
    own_window = true,
    own_window_type = "desktop",
    own_window_argb_visual = true,
    own_window_transparent = true,
    double_buffer = true,
    xinerama_head = 0,
    alignment = "bottom_right",
    gap_x = 9,
    gap_y = 20,
    use_xft = true,
    default_color = "00AAAAAA",
}
conky.text = [[
${font Noto Sans:size=14}Activate GNU/Linux${font}
${font Noto Sans:size=9}Go to Settings to activate GNU/Linux
Kernel version: ${exec uname -r}${font}
]]

I could probably make the font more transparent but it's just for a lark anyways.

hell yeah throwback to conky tweaking in tiling wm

Conky doesn't work correctly in the tiling wm I use because it doesn't properly implement the Wayland protocol conky uses. So now I have to use eww and learn a custom LISP dialect and use CSS. Fortunately its scss.

Oh look

Anyways. Its cool that the author did it the hard way and I'm sure they learned a lot doing so but people shouldn't actually use it. I wouldn't bother maintaining an AUR package for this.

As I says elsewhere in this thread, I think this is a good little example project for people dipping their toes into making packages. I know I'll probably use it as reference if I ever get around to making a package that isn't just for PyPi lol
