Using Flair weather Conky script in Conky Manager

Step 1:

Just as you install themes in Ubuntu 14.04, you should have a. conky directory in your home directory. If you use the command line, I don't think I need to tell you how to find this directory. Novice, please use the file manager to switch to your home directory and press Ctrl+H to display the hidden files in Ubuntu.

Looking for. Conky folder, if it doesn't exist, create one.

Step two:

Yes. Conky directory, unzip the downloaded Flair weather file. Note that, by default, it automatically unzips to a file named. Conch. So please go into this directory, take out the weather folder and paste it into the real one. Conky catalog

Step 3:

Flair Weather uses Yahoo's weather service, but it can't automatically identify your location. You need to edit it manually. Go to the Yahoo Weather page and get the location ID number of your city by typing your city /Pin code. You can get the location ID number from the address bar of the webpage.

Step 4:

Open Conky Manager, which should be able to read the newly installed Conky script. There are two styles to choose from, black theme or bright theme. You can choose the one you like. When you choose, you can see conky's display on the desktop.

In Flair Weather, the default location is set to Melbourne. You must manually edit the conky file to modify it.

Step five:

You can see that there is an option to edit the selected conky script. In the editor that opens, look for location or WOEID and replace it with the location ID number you obtained in step 3. Then restart Conky.

In the same position found above, if you replace u=c with u=f, the unit of temperature will change from centigrade scale to Fahrenheit scale. Don't forget to restart Conky and see what changes have taken place.
