Conky
Posted by Joeb on January 18, 2008
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 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.
