After some tedious researching n learning along with some synapse launching .  sweat.gif

Ive used 2 hours on learning conkyrc and its lua + txt customization together with 1 hour adjusting the position and tweaking the whole theme .  shocking.gif

Ive modded a lil on the conky script ive got from deviantart  thumbup.gif  Especially the positions and added some candies

In the screenshoot :

Conky + Faenza Variant Cupertino + Elementary theme tweaked with Elementary Milk window borders + A nice minimalistic wallpaper + Covergloobus

Yeah.. It may seem very hard to configure the conky at first since it has no real GUI for configuration. But actually it quite easy once u get used to it.. Can almost do anything with conky... very powerful apps indeed... hmm.gif hmm.gif

And Merry Xmas... laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

build-dep means it will build all the dependencies required to build the program.

./configure is a command which will configure the makefile script such as location to install the program, etc. It will also check for all the required dependencies and tools to build the program. But some source code doesn't provide this. Either it's using scons than make or the makefile is already configured.

You're asking it to the wrong people, my friend. laugh.gif And maybe you're installing conky from the repo instead of compiling it yourself.

This might be off-topic(maybe not), but why most of you(if not all), really wanted to install all those docks, custom panels, etc.?

Just curious.
