This thread shows some of mine plus other members since you are wondering.

====================================


But I'll bite again and show what my Asus EEEPC 900 looks like. I gotta keep AntiX slim and trim because I only have a 4 gig SSD drive for / and I apt-get dist-upgrade regularly. So KISS applies to this Netbook. My others in the above thread have more room to breath when it comes to screen real estate and / partition.

This is a late response but I thought I'd put mine out there. Actually, you guys have pretty fancy conky's. Mine is pretty minimal with only a TODO file displayed. This is a file that's in my home directory (TODO.txt) where I can jot things that I need to do.

To display the file, I added the following lines to my conky


${color cyan}To Do List:
${color yellow}${exec cat 30 TODO.txt}


Here's a screenshot of my laptop (which is really my workhorse system; running Antix 8.2 and DWM) and my minimal conky.

Loved plvera's idea of having notes,
carried on with the idea and made this someone else may like it, Conky is so cool!!!
and the link for it

Just thought I would add conky toggle and edit conky config buttons to what I have done above, made a sort of conky manager if anyone is interested

That's very interesting and would like to give this a try with my conky. I'll see if I can download the package tonight when I get home from work.
