If you're on Plasma, that's it.\n\nOtherwise, on other platforms you might have to uncomment the sleep line in that script and add the script to your startup applications.\nIf you don't know how, Google is your friend.\nFor non-plasma systems, if **after** 10-15 seconds, you don't see conky on your desktop, try running:\n```\nsed -i -r 's/own_window_type .*/own_window_type normal/' *_rc\n```\n\n\nCustomization\n=================\n\n**Network**\n\nYou might want to replace `enp0s20u1` in `network_rc` with the device you are connected to the internet with similarly for the wifi device e.g.\n```\n$ sed -i 's/enp0s20u1/enp0s30u1/' network_rc\n```\n\n**Media Player**\n\nReplace `clementine` in `mediaplayer_rc` with the name of your media player (e.g. `vlc`, or `audacious`, or `spotify`).  \nThis should probably just work (after replacement) if the media player you are using implements MPRIS 2.0 (most players do).\nTo customize the output, you might want to see `python3 mediaplayer.py --help`\n\n**Fortune**\n\nSee `man fortune` and edit the arguments to the fortune call in `fortune_rc`\n\n\n**Colors**\n\nEach script uses a set of three colors, defined as\n* color1 (color)  \nColor of the Card heading\n* color2 (color)  \nColor of the horizontal line stretching from the heading to the right end\n* color3 (color)  \nText color  \nHere, (color) can be specified using the hexadecimal notation (without the preceding #) or a color name specified in `/usr/share/X11/rgb.txt`  \nExamples of legit colors : red, blue, 20efef  \nYou can change any of the above colors to suit your liking/theme\nExamples:  \nIf you want headings in blue, then run  \n```\n$ sed -i -r \"s/color1 = '.*',$/color1 = '#0000ff',/\" *_rc\n\n```\n\nSimilarly, you can change the background color of the 'cards' specified by the variable `own_window_colour`\nBackground opacity is specified by `own_window_argb_value (value between 0 and 255)`\n\n\n**Fonts**\n\nThe following fonts are used\n* Antipasto [Download here](http://www.dafont.com/antipasto.font)  \nFont in the which the clock is displayed\n* Open Sans [Download here](http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/open-sans)  \nFont for the general text\n* Oswald [Download here](http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/oswald)  \nFont for the Cards' headings\n\nSubstitue them using sed like above.\n\n\n\nAuthor\n========\nAmish Naidu  http://amhndu.github.io\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Famhndu%2Fconky-cards","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Famhndu%2Fconky-cards","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Famhndu%2Fconky-cards/lists"}
