Configuring Conky The (Very) Easy Way

“Conky, the amazingly versatile and useful Linux desktop
application, has a bit of a reputation. It’s clearly a great app,
but getting it configured can be a serious pain. Changing anything
about it has always required digging through a long text file and
editing cryptic lines like ${offset 240}${time %a, } ${color
}${time %e %B %G}. As many people don’t have the patience to dig
through manuals to find out what all that means, Conky’s popularity
has been somewhat limited. Lucky for us, there’s now an easier way
to configure it. A MUCH easier way – ConkyWizard.
Installation

“This is a new project, and not yet available in the
repositories of your average distribution. There are binaries
available (no packaging or installation needed) for 32 and 64 bit
Linux on the project’s Google Code page (the page is in Spanish).
This author had trouble getting the 64 bit version to work
properly, and would recommend the 32 bit version for both
platforms.”
