OS: Arch Linux x64

Terminal: urxvt

IRC: irssi

Stats: conky

Music Player: mpd

dr0p, any advise for a ubuntu noob to configure conky? I installed it and found a thread with examples of a .conkyrc file, ect.. but got errors when i tried to install / run the new script. What programming language is that? Pseudo code?

I also found this site to help customize yalls ubuntu / linux which helped me and may help other linux noobs

http://gnome-look.org/

and Mark Manching i see nothing wrong with that desktop looks pretty pimp lol

If you really want to customize how your desktop looks, you're gonna have to drop using distrobutions that force specific window managers and desktop environments on you, and yes, I know that you can change your WM on X\K\Ubuntu but it's a pain in the ass <_< Anyways...

conky retrieves system information, and then displays what you ask for, such as CPU usage, free space on a partition, etc.; it parses the .conkyrc file in your home directory (unless otherwise specified) using its own basic syntax which you can pick up just by looking at one or two example configs, or by reading up on the documentation. The conky settings documentation is here and the variables that you can use to retrieve information is found here. I've uploaded my .conkyrc for anyone who cares to http://pastebin.com/f383f230c

Interesting,... evernote? I love the idea, but was never able to make it useful. What do you use it for/how do you use it? Well hurr's mine. Almost identical to my previous ones.
