Conky/Dzen2 and variables from shell -

i'm trying make dzen2 stuff, have hard time on 1 point. want eval color variable between conky , dzen2.

something that:

colors :

#!/bin/zsh  ################################# ## colors dzen2 status bar ## #################################  ## ## test colors ## color_test='#000000' 

conkyrc :

################################# ## conky dzen2 status bar  ## #################################  background no out_to_console yes out_to_x no override_utf8_locale yes update_interval 1 total_run_times 0  text ## ##  test ##   ^fg($$color_test) 

script:

#!/bin/zsh  . ./colors conky -c conkyrc | dzen2 -p 

i tried eval/echo on conky, nothing sucessfull. if have idea, nice.

thanks anyway

have day

edit:

if can't find solution main question, what's best idea?

• lua/conky (i think it's not bad)
• shell/dzen2 (performance not amazing last time tried that)
• a full program in c++ (a little overkill, , conky generic)

how use ${execp my-dzen-help.sh getcolors }, in conky ?

#my-dzen-help.sh  getcolors(){ printf '^fg($$color_test)'; # or .... }
