WHAT IS CONKY?
Conky is a system monitor for Linux that sits in the corner of your
desktop. Conky renders itself on the root window (on the desktop) or to
its own transparent window any special eyecandy.
Conky can show lots of info about your system, including:
Conky is a system monitor for X originally based on the torsmo code.
Since it's original conception, Conky has changed a fair bit from
it's predecessor. Conky can display just about anything, either on
your root desktop or in it's own window. Conky has many built-in
objects, as well as the ability to execute programs and scripts,
then display the output from stdout.
* kernel version
* uptime
* network interface information
* memory and swap usage
* hostname
* machine, i686 for example
* system name, Linux for example
* temperatures from i2c-sensors
We are always looking for help, and anyone interested in becoming
a developer is welcome. Please use the facilities at SourceForge
to make bug reports, feature requests, and submit patches.
Thanks for your interest in Conky.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Conky is generally very good on resources. However, certain objects in
Conky are harder on resources then others. In particular, the $tail and
$top objects are quite costly in comparison to the rest of Conky.
If you do use them, please do not complain about memory or CPU usage,
because you will simply be ignored.
With that out of the way, if you have a better way of doing something,
please submit a patch for Conky. I know I am certainly not the world's
best programmer, and I still have a lot to learn.

If you do use them, please do not complain about memory or CPU usage,
unless you think something is going seriously wrong (mem leak, et cetera).

Conky doesn't probably compile with other compilers than gcc and icc. It
doesn't compile with C89 compiler and not even with pure C99. It uses few
things that might not exist: strdup(), strcasecmp(), strncasecmp(), optarg
variable with getopt() and long long (not in C89). Crashes in file system
statistics stuff when compiled with icc, I don't know exactly why.

You can disable 'drawing to own window' feature in case you don't need it
by passing --disable-own-window to configure -script.

EBUILD
Conky is in Gentoo's Portage. Simply use "emerge conky" to install conky.

There is also usually an up-to-date ebuild within Conky's package or in
CVS.
CONFIGURING
Default configuration file is $HOME/.conkyrc (can be changed from
conky.c among other things). See conkyrc.sample. You might want to copy
it to $HOME/.conkyrc and then start modifying it.

Configuration file confs
Conf Meaning

background Boolean value, if true, Conky will be forked to
background when started

cpu_avg_samples The number of samples to average for CPU monitoring
default_color Default color and border color
default_shade_color Default shading color and border's shading color

Use the Xdbe extension? (eliminates flicker) It is
double_buffer highly recommended to use own window with this one
so double buffer won't be so big.

draw_outline Draw outlines?
font Font name in X, xfontsel can be used to get a nice
font
gap_x Gap between right or left border of screen, same as

passing -y at command line

There may be some variables in text. Variable is given either in format
$variable or in ${variable}. Latter allows characters right after the
variable and must be used in some stuff because of arguments.

KNOWN PROBLEMS
Drawing to root or some other desktop window directly doesn't work with
all window managers. Especially doesn't work well with Gnome and it has
been reported that it doesn't work with KDE either. Nautilus can be
disabled from drawing to desktop with program gconf-editor. Uncheck
show_desktop in /apps/nautilus/preferences/. There is -w switch in Conky
to set some specific window id. You might find xwininfo -tree useful to
find the window to draw to. You can also use -o argument which makes
Conky to create its own window.
