Do the seconds of this clock move smooth? Or does it do click, click, click?

Hi, I know that I am late, but I would really love to use this clock. The problem is that I just get a black square instead of the clock. Maybe the conky devs changed the syntax so that old ones dont work anymore?

I don't know much about Conky, but this is definitely one of the best looking clocks I've seen!

Hey,i have question about this clock.Yesterday i downloaded a theme,in folder i downloaded i also got few more items and clock same like this.I applied theme and all other items,also changed entire desktop including icons.But i only dont know how to apply damn clock. Because i need this one to fit with my theme. I feel kind of stupid but i dont see other way to find out how to apply that.I searched on YT too but i cant find anything helpful.

For this clock, all you need to do is put the three files inside the folder (if you cannot see them, press 👍: 0 ⏩: 0
pkill conky
conky -c ~/.conky_ns
Looks great!
How do you change the colour of the clock hands and the hour marks? I'm not very familiar with lua.

Thanks! Very easily btw, open up two files:
- .crings_ns.lua --> clock_colour=0x000000
clock_alpha=0.5
- .mark_ns.lua --> graduation_fg_colour=0x000000,
graduation_fg_alpha=0.6,
change 000000 to the desired color code
alpha means transparency on a scale of 0 to 1.

It looks fantastic and it works sweet. What if I want to resize the clock, just a little bit smaller, where is the code that I must change?

thanks!.. Ok, so there are two files that you need to change
.marks_ns.lua --> change 'graduation_radius=120,' to something like 100 or 60 (depending on how small you want it.) This will change how close or far the clock tick marks are.
.crings_ns.lua --> this one is a little complicated..
Hour hand ---> xh=xc+0.7*clock_r*math.sin(hours_arc)
yh=yc-0.7*clock_r*math.cos(hours_arc)
change 0.7 to a smaller number (o.5)
Minute hand --> xm=xc+clock_r*math.sin(mins_arc)
ym=yc-clock_r*math.cos(mins_arc)
insert a number (like 0.5 or 0.7) between + or - and 'clock'
Second hand --> xs=xc+clock_r*math.sin(secs_arc)
ys=yc-clock_r*math.cos(secs_arc)
insert a number (like 0.5 or 0.7) between + or - and 'clock'
Let me know if it doesnt work, and i will upload a modified .lua script.
