antiX comes with the fantastic conky app to monitor various processes etc. Not only is this useful, but it is so cooool 
Share your (or ones you have found) .conkyrc files here and post a screenshot.

Can conky be run on KDE? If I start it.. its default location kills the icons on my desktop. Can it be made to start in a different location?

I did get conky to run on my KDE desktop without killing the icons by changing
# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window no
to
own_window yes
It now runs in a small window, just need to figure out how to make it transparent as these comments don't have any effect on the window.
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_colour hotpink

And finally the link to that great colour chart!
I've had enough for today, but i'm sure that i'll be tweaking it again soon!

That looks great. Thanks for the color guide. Do you know how to set the music player to Amarok?

Thanks, glad you like. I really love conky and i can spend hours just messing about with it, and learning a lot in the process.
Re: Amarok, put the following at the end of your .conkyrc and see if it works. You may have to tweak it a bit.
| Code: |
${color #dddf00}${font MgOpen Modata:size=10}MUSIC $stippled_hr ${font}
${if_running amarokapp}${color #ffffff}Artist: ${color #999999} ${execi 10 ~/.conky/amarok artist}
${color #ffffff}Title: ${color #999999}${execi 10 ~/.conky/amarok title}
${color #cccccc}${execibar 1 ~/.conky/amarok progress}
${color #ffffff}Album: ${color #999999}${execi 10 ~/.conky/amarok album}
${color #ffffff}Year: ${color #999999}${execi 10 ~/.conky/amarok year}$else${color #cccccc}${alignc}NOT ACTIVE$endif
${color #dddf00}$stippled_hr
|
Let me know how you get on, i'd be interested to know if it works.

LOL!! Yep, got some sleep eventually, but had a blast with Conky before doing so. I learnt quite a lot in the process (Although i've still much to learn of course) and i did get my Temperature settings (CPU & HDD) working on my core 2 lappie, so that was a real boon! Also found out how to make the bars look a lot sweeter, how to change the size of them and that kind of thing. Mainly cosmetic, but it's all good stuff.
I'll post a screenie of the latest incarnation soon as i get a chance.
