I did not create this from scratch. It's a modified version of iceman358's "Conky lililo", which you can find here. His hasn't been updated in years, so I remade it, keeping the original look and feel but fixing the weather and other minor glitches.
- Font: Arial Black
- Font: OpenLogos (Remix recommended. Original has old icons)
- Font: StyleBats
- Font: PizzaDude Bullets
- Font: DejaVu Sans
- PHP
- CURL
- Conky (Duh)
To install the fonts, simply find, download, and copy the font files into ~/.fonts/ or use your distro's package manager.
Just clone this repo into ~/.weather:
git clone https://gitlab.com/rsheasby/conky-lililo-2018.git ~/.weather

darksky.php:80 - Dark Sky API Key:

darksky.php:86 and conkyrc:86(units indarksky.phpshould be "us" or "si", units inconkyrcshould be "celsius" or "fahrenheit")
See here for a full guide on autostarting, but the basic idea is just to run conky -q -d -c ~/.weather/conkyrc on startup. It's a good idea to run the darksky.php script first too so that the weather information will already be up-to-date when conky starts. My startup command looks like this: bash -c "~/.weather/darksky.php > ~/.weather/weather; conky -q -d -c ~/.weather/conkyrc"
