I think there may be thousands that think it kicks ass!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, that may be, but I think conky could do with a rewrite, it really is a problem that you need to spend hours to configure conky; I am sure this can be made a lot easier, e.g. with a more object-oriented way of defining elements on the screen. If there would be elements such as text containers, image viewers, for each of whom you could define properties, that would make it easy to write a UI to position and configure elements on the screen. I think that would be a great feature to help conky newbies get going(and help a lot of people save time) That may be difficult, but it should be considered for a rewrite “…I hope that I can continue to make Conky suck less…”

WHAT!!!!

The hours of joy spent creating, configuring and tweaking Conky remind me of the days I spent with Legos as a kid. Likewise, you have inadvertently created and incredible community and I believe is can speak for a number of people by saying THANK YOU! londonali, keep up the great work!
