Conky is a system monitor for X. Conky can display just about anything, either
|
|
|
|
on your root desktop or in its own window. Not only does Conky have many
|
|
|
|
built-in objects, it can also display just about any piece of information by
|
|
|
|
using scripts and other external programs.

Conky has more than 250 built in objects, including support for a plethora of OS
|
|
|
|
stats (uname, uptime, CPU usage, mem usage, disk usage, `top` like process
|
|
|
|
stats, and network monitoring, just to name a few), built in IMAP and POP3
|
|
|
|
support, built in support for many popular music players (MPD, XMMS2,
|
|
|
|
Audacious), and much much more. Conky can display this info either as text, or
|
|
|
|
using simple progress bars and graph widgets, with different fonts and colours.
