"Conky" is my most used application.I like the functionality it offers but don't like the interface.It's too ugly.Is it possible to make it more beautiful?I would like to request the developer of "Conky" to add some eye candy.

What kind of eye candy would you like to see in a System Info/Resources app?

Dancing bananas in the background would be awesome.

Would it be possible to loose the idea to have everything visible on one screen.
Make lots of stuff bigger and you would have to scroll down. Include some battery data as well

Hi all,
Check out Conky's home page, and you see that you can customise it in many, many ways. The default conf file supplied by the deb in the repo was just meant to be a starting point for you all to play with. Outside of this community, I suspect that 90% of Conky users are running with a Conky conf of their own design.
Normally though, Conky runs directly on the users desktop, but I figured that an app would be more useful on the N900 and configured it like that (in the default conf file) by default.
Remember that if you want to modify the Conky conf file to your tastes, you can copy /etc/conky/conky.conf to /home/user/MyDocs/conky.conf and edit it there. When you run Conky, it will use that conf file in preference to the default. This means that you can easily tweak it using any of the installable editors on the device.
Because Conky is so heavily customisable just by editing its conf file, I'm not really keen on modifying the default, although if there are proposed changes that are very popular, and don't have any significant dependencies (i.e. powertop) then some tweaks to the default could be considered. I've an outstanding feature request to provide a mechanism supporting localisation which I will hopefully get onto soon, and this would also tend to affect the likelihood of changing the default conf.
Note that the packaged version in Extras is not built from the latest source release, and doesn't support Lua, as there didn't seem to be an easy route to satisfy those dependencies.
I look forward to seeing some conky.conf files posted here on t.m.o.
By the way, if you wanna see a truly horrible Conky, this is the one that offended my eyes when I first built a package from Debian sources and used their conf file.
