Conky Lookin' Good

This isn't going to be a real long post, but there is this package that many Linux users know about and have grown very fond of, and it's called Conky. Recently I have been playing with it and tweaking it a lot and having a blast doing it. At first it is very basic and kind of boring but there is a wealth of information out on the Internet to make it look really cool.

I want to give a shout out to a team of developers who make Conky even easier, they are called the Conky Hardcore Team. They develop wonderful scripts for Ubuntu and Arch Linux that make integration of things like Banshee, Weather.com , Email, Google Calendar, and many more everyday utilities into Conky easier! Great job guys!

Finally I am going to upload a screeshot of what my latest desktop looks like with Conky running on it.


Truly an awesome utility and another reason to switch to Linux.
