### Features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conky can display more than 300 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][], [BMPx][], [Audacious][]).
|
|
|
|
|
* Can be extended using built-in [**Lua**](lua) support, or any of your
|
|
|
|
|
own scripts and programs ([more](Lua Interface)).
|
|
|
|
|
* Built-in [**Imlib2**][Imlib2] and [**Cairo**][cairo] bindings for arbitrary drawing
|
|
|
|
|
with Lua ([more](wiki/Lua-Interface)).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
... and much much more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
