Store and Community
The Store tab is the in-app surface for discovering and installing community content (themes and related assets) when a source is configured.
Typical capabilities (as the integration matures):
- Browse listings from configured feeds
- Install via packaged archives (e.g.
.zip,.tar.gz) or online sources - Open external catalog pages (e.g. OpenDesktop-style flows in the browser) when the app hands off a URL
Exact availability depends on network access, feed configuration, and release channel. If the Store looks empty, check connectivity and whether a catalog URL is set for your build.
“Community store” means shared, redistributable Conky Studio–oriented content:
| Kind | Who it’s for |
|---|---|
| Built themes | End users who only need to run a HUD |
| Project JSON + assets | Authors who want to remix graphs in Studio |
| Plugin packs | Extra logic/visual nodes (JSON + Lua) |
| Art / image packs | Assets referenced by Image nodes or wizard themes |
Preferred public packaging:
-
Primary: built theme folder (or archive) with
start.sh— works without Studio - Optional: project JSON for remixing, plus plugin list and asset paths documented
See Sharing Projects.
Some install or browse actions open the system browser (OpenDesktop or similar). That is intentional: catalog, login, or download flows may live on the web while Studio handles local install into ~/.config/conky/ or the plugins directory.

Also available from Help → Support in the app.
- Treat downloaded themes and plugin packs like any script you run: Lua and shell execute under your user in Conky’s process
- Prefer known authors and reviewed packs
- Prefer built themes from strangers if you only need to run a HUD and are not auditing a graph
- Themes: export a clean build; include README and
theme.json - Plugins: follow the Plugins authoring rules; PR or publish a manifest JSON
- Report import/preview issues with Studio version, distro, X11/Wayland, and Conky version (Tools → Hardware & Session helps)
