Warning: Altough the current version works (for me),
the syntax of the configoptions and vars will probably change
over time. Contact me if you have ideas.
The following is a example of how you can use it now:
mysql_host someserver.com
mysql_db my_database
mysql_user loginname
mysql_password "s3cr3t"
TEXT
${mysql select var1 from some_table}${mysql select var2 from some_table}
This patch adds the possibility to use a argb visual for the conky
window. Adding a boolean configuration entry 'own_window_argb_visual'.
the 'set_transparent_background' method sets the alpha bytes of the argb
color for transparency, instead of pseudo transparency. This patch
would close following feature request:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1563931&group_id=143975&at
id=757311 and would be a workaround for some reported transparency bugs
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1968923&group_id=143975&a
tid=757308 for example)

the manpage says the hex color string should include the '#', but that's not true (not now,
anyway). Also, the syntax highlighting is wrong, but i don't know how to fix that.
All ERR()'s are renamed to NORM_ERR() and box to mbox so that they don't
clash with things in ncurses.h .
Ncurses is enabled by default when building conky but can be disabled with
--disable-ncurses .
At the moment configure doesn't check if ncurses is actually available.
I'm adding support for ncurses so that we can make as much things as possible
that are only available in X11 also available in console in the future.
The alias option was broken by fb8ccd7a05,
and it seems like trying to make it work again will only result in
breakage for env var substitution anyway.
Added support for X alignment across multi-lined objects (i.e., using
$alignr with $exec). This may be a bit buggy. Disabled OpenMP code
until GCC's implementation stabilizes (it's causing too many problems).
A couple Lua API changes.
Improved Lua API (lua_read_parse has been removed in favour of the
conky_parse() Lua API call). The docs have been improved to reflect the
recent Lua API stuff as well. Introduced new Lua Cairo and Imlib2
bindings, which require the tolua++ tool. Fixed some other
miscellaneous doc related things.
The panel type reserves space along the edge of the
screen, just like regular DE panels, taskbars and the
like. I have tested it for several hours now with lots
of different settings, and it seems to be working fine.
Works especially well with alignment top_??? or
bottom_??? and single-line output. Something like
this:
own_window yes
own_window_type panel
alignment bottom_left
maximum_width 1680
minimum_size 1680
gap_x 0
gap_y 0
stippled_borders 1
draw_borders yes
update_interval 3.0
TEXT
$nodename $tab $freq_g ${color grey}GHz$color $tab $memperc% ${color grey}RAM$color $tab $cpu% ${color grey}CPU $tab etc...etc...$alignr${time %F %R}
The line after TEXT is supposed to be on one line,
just in case some channel has messed it up.

This patch is written by a anonymous author, see patch on sf.net
id #2663691 . I changed it a bit so that it can't overwrite
existing environment variables and updated the docs and syntaxfiles
