1. Install Conky:
sudo apt-get install conky
2. To be able to use Conky-HTC, you'll also need Conky Forecast which you can download below:
.deb | .tar.gz
3. Download Conky-HTC and extract it. In the newly extracted folder, press CTRL + H to be able to see all hidden files and copy all hidden files and folders (.fonts, .images, .conkyForecast.config, .conkyrc, .conky_start and .vreme.template) to your home directory. Make sure you've copied all these files!
4. Now we need to configure Conky-HTC:
a) Run the following command in a terminal:
gedit ~/.conkyForecast.config
And if you don't want to use "PT-br" as the language, replace it with "en".
Please note that there's no need to change the XOAP parameters in from this file - just leave them as they are.
Now you can save the file.
b) Configuring the weather: visit http://www.weather.com and search for your location ("country, city"). After visiting your location page, your area code should be displayed ad the end of the URL. Here's an example:
http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Bucharest+Romania+ROXX0003
Copy the code (ROXX0003 in my example above - but make sure you use your code). Now run the following command in a terminal:
gedit ~/.conkyrc
- And finally, in the same file there's also a small bug for those who want to use Conky HTC in English: on line 52, there is some code that looks like this: "${time %e} de ${time %B} de ${time %G}" - remove both "de" words to fix it.
Now you can save the file.
5. Now you can start Conky by running the following command:
conky
