Conky Desktop Indicator

Description

Version 1.1:

Just one more version. I added the (huge) underscore version that I myself always use.

Font used: Linux Libertine Mono, should be here www.linuxlibertine.org/index.p…
(but should work with most fonts, that have an underscore)

Version 1.0:

Initial release.

Shows you in a bar or in the grid on which of your virtual desktops you are.

5 different versions for 9 (3x), 16 or 25 virtual desktops

Plain conky, no lua, python, shell script needed. Conky 1.9.x syntax, not the changed syntax of the upcoming 1.10.x. It might not be available in your repos anyway.

Fonts used: 
- in bullets versions: 
  www.dafont.com/de/pizzadude-bu…
 
Once you have the font installed the configs should work out of the box, you can start them with:

conky -c /path/where/you/put/them/indicatorXYZ.conky

for example:

conky -c /home/megauser/.config/conky/conky_desktop_indicator/indicator_huge.conky

Their main purpose however is not to work out of the box, but to get adapted by you, modified, built into your own conky configurations etc.
The code should be well readable, I spent quite some backslashes for line continuations. Therefore I hope that it will be easy to understand the scripts and customise them to your individual needs (very do-able even for beginners).

Installed ok, but can you tell me if this works with compiz?

I am switching workspaces, but the indicator isn't moving.
