So I just installed screenlets and have modified my .conkyrc file to provide a minimal, beautiful desktop if I do say so myself.

I’m running ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop and am using the “deep” theme for the wallpaper clock.

Here’s what it looks like:

and if you want my very minimal .conkyrc file here’s that:

[codesyntax lang="bash" lines="no"]

use_xft yes
xftfont verdana:size=8
alignment top_right
xftalpha 0.8
own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
double_buffer yes
draw_shades no
draw_outline no
draw_borders no
stippled_borders 10
border_margin 4
border_width 1
default_shade_color black
default_outline_color black
default_color 102b45
use_spacer none
no_buffers yes
uppercase no
color1 F8DF58

TEXT

${loadgraph 20,245 2f5c85 FFFFFF -l -t}
${alignr}${loadavg 1}/${loadavg 2}/${loadavg 3}

[/codesyntax]

Be glad your a linux user! Openness is beautiful!
