rob86 2 Report post Posted September 16, 2009 Just discovered Conky.. it's cool software and gets it's name from a Canadian t.v. show! I didn't know anybody watched the show. Anyone use it? For people who don't know what it is, you can use it to display stuff like disk space, mp3 info and weather on your desktop. There are lots of them around, but this seems to be pretty lightweight and doesn't drain all my resources. It's a tricky thing to install and configure (I thought so anyway, every example I saw didn't work and I had to edit them myself) but it's useful and cool when you get it going. It really makes a desktop look nice! Check out some screen shots.Just seach on google for it, if you're interested, it's pretty easy to find. I think it's on source forge.

Baniboy 3 Report post Posted September 16, 2009 My desktop system monitor is based on conky, I use screenlets program on my ubuntu laptop and the sysmonitor is one of it's "widgets". Yea it's nice, but I didn't find any real use for it. Sometimes I check the RAM usage or something like that. Displaying weather can be useful, but it comes by default in gnome panel, so yea...
