I was thinking, after I ran across a number of these threads recently in my attempts to get Cairo Dock running properly, that it would be nice to have one in a more familiar and fannish space. (Not that my desktop is fannish, at the moment, but I can't quite imagine finding pre-raphaelites in one of the threads I perused either.)

Is there any interest? Pictures can easily be hosted at TinyPic or ImageShack, which both allow uploading without a user account, if anyone doesn't already have photo hosting. I will go first in the comments anyway!

The netbook panel looks blue! But I guess it's just tilted that way? Also I totally considered installing the Notify OSD Conky you've got there. It wasn't the feature I wanted, though, and I figured it would be a lot of trouble to take it apart in order to replace the icons. I find your big Conky panels really neat! I would actually like to see screenshots of them, or perhaps you have a link or name or hint about the codes? They look so sleek and polished! I'm a total beginner with Conky, but extremely infatuated. Investigating a good Conky output for my calendar is on my to-do list.

Yeah, actually the theme on the little one is grey, and it's just tilted a little funny. I grabbed up the Notify OSD conky just because it was small enough to not be obnoxious on the little screen and as we can see I tend towards excess...



There's the full desktop with all the conky madness. No I don't really need all of that, really, all the time.

I've uploaded most of the stuff I use here: https://gist.github.com/0d9d343512b0ebd2cce3
That's not totally exhaustive 'tho. The pane on the left is .conkyrc the one in the middle is .conkyrc-weather and the right is .conkyrc-todo, I use the script to start them all (run as a Startup application from my desktop.) The background script gets the transparent & rounded corners bits right.

Ooh, thanks. You've no idea how excited I am to play with conky now. XD
