I got a little bored yesterday, so I downloaded Conky, it’s a kind of system monitor for Linux machines, though if you check it may run on Windows/Mac as well.
Anyway, I decided I wouldn’t download it from the repositories ready made and ready to run. I downloaded the source code and compiled it myself, so I had the very latest version
I’m glad I did, it taught me some new things
I have to say that I REALLY like it. Especially because of the capabilities it has…and how much you can customise it…I spent around 2-4 hours customising mine!
Here’s a screen shot of the finished product

Looks awesome!
Never tried it…
Looks cool!
does your wireless strenght actually change in that sidepanel? the normal network manager just stalls my wireless signal strenght at 73% no matter which signal strenght i connect with.
Hehe cool. Could you post your .conkyrc ?
