Setting Up

• Clone the repo to a desired location and run conky on all the overlays. You can use conky manager or any tool to manage the theme, or this simple script should suffice. How you set it up is upto you, I recommend to place the script on your PATH and use it as a tool to manage conky themes in general.

  git clone https://github.com/AyoItsYas/Mainte.git
  mkdir -p ~/.conky/
  mv ./Mainte/ ~/.conky/
  
  curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AyoItsYas/bin/main/conkyd > conkyd
  chmod +x conkyd
  ./conkyd start
  

• For the weather overlay to work you need an API key from https://openweathermap.org/. Configure the enviornment variable OPENWEATHERMAP_API_KEY with the value.

  echo 'export OPENWEATHERMAP_API_KEY="your_api_key"' >> ~/.bashrc
