How Does your Conky setup Look Like?
This is how my conky setup looks like, nothing too fancy. But I have been thinking about dressing it up a little bit (make my windows-only friends jealous:). Would you guys share your conky setup with screenshots and configuration files? I would really appreciate.
My conkyrc:
# Create own window
own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager# Use double buffering
double_buffer yesuse_spacer yes
use_xft no# Update interval in seconds
update_interval 3.0# Draw shades?
draw_shades no# Text stuff
draw_outline no # amplifies text if yes
draw_borders no
font arial
uppercase no # set to yes if you want all text to be in uppercase# Stippled borders?
stippled_borders 3# border margins
border_margin 9# border width
border_width 10# Default colors and also border colors, grey90 == #e5e5e5
default_color greyown_window_colour brown
own_window_transparent yes# Text alignment, other possible values are commented

I sent a trackback, but it doesn’t show up here. So I link my reply manually.

mine hasn’t changed much over the years - take a look at this 2006 post running fluxbox - http://www.maysville-linux-users-group.org/ftopict-98.html vs this 2008 post running fluxbox - http://www.maysville-linux-users-group.org/ftopict-231.html and the current conkyrc file is available here - http://www.maysville-linux-users-group.org/download/conkyrc-edwiget

Martin, I will look in to it, why my trackback is not working. And thanks for posting your conky-setup.
Ed, I like your new desktop look better than the old one. Really nice.

I just started working on a conky configuration and posted a little about it (and other tweaking for my Ubuntu Hardy box).
You can read about it here if you like: http://meandubuntu.wordpress.com/2008/05/16/customizing-ubuntu-appearance/
