In Windows, there is an application called Rainmeter (http://rainmeter.net/) which can display system monitor on the desktop. I want something like it on my Ubuntu desktop. Is there a way to bring it to my desktop? YES! Conky can do it!
So what is conky? Conky is a free light system monitor for X which can display any info about on your deskop. Here is an example of Conky on my Ubuntu desktop.
There are two ways to configure Conky. First, you can use ConkyWizard with GUI configuration or you can use Conky-colors to make your Conky more beautiful. I use Conky-color with cairo theme. So whick one is better? Haha, it's up to you. If you ask me why I choose Conky-colors, maybe because I'm like it's cairo theme.
So, are you ready to configure Conky? Let's go!
