oh my. S11 I'm sure will be here soon.

I do think a few (maybe that much) of us use conky here, but simple one-liners.

used to have a conky one-liner indeed, never understood the obsession with system stats some conky-users seem to have (although bacon might beg to differ when it comes to my desires in this field ;)

anyway, i switched to "lighter" (alternative) solutions. most of us ended up with either lemonbar, dzen2, or simply no bar at all. i find that most of the systemstats do not need to be in view all the time for me. if i really want to know available diskspace or cpuload, for example, i would just use a dedicated program/terminal command for viewing those. all i have in permanent view is date/time, wifi strength, volume level, playing music, and workspace numbering. this is the minimum for the way i work. others have a cluster of terminals open, or work in tmux, and switch effortlessly to dedicated alsamixer or moc/mpd/mpg12321 terminals for volume and music, for example. time can always be found quickly through the date command. you can go as minimal as you like.

so yeah, this is probably why the seemingly obvious Conky-thread was still non-existent :)

yeah, that's the reason there isn't/wasn't a thread for conky configs,
Sorry to be downer, but really - not too concerned about;
uptime, host - my memory isn't that bad.
what my ssid is; because I set it.
same with net transfer, if I'm trasferring something; it's at maximum, rsync tells me that.
Which CPU is working harder? really don't care.
I have htop running in a term (you've seen my scrots, they are all the same) for a system overview.
diskspace, I only have two partitions and I know how much is on each. when it runs out - it runs out.

If I would go for one, I think it'd be a widget style one with big fonts and maybe a big weather status icon, go all out.
otherwise all I need to know all the time is:
system load and the date.
battery and music playing on the lappy, used to put internal IP till I fixed them.
using a slightly modded i3 status.
using a tiling I rarely, if ever, see my desktop.
anyway rant over.

you're such a downer wux. every single item meticulously ground to a pulp. i want to cry now, and i dont even use conky ;_;

agree on the widget-style thing. jules made a supernice one for one of the first BBQ releases i used (cant remember which one :D ) and i really liked that. but indeed, i am fullscreen always. i only see my desktop through my semi-transparent terminals :)

yeah I'm in a bad mood today.
I'd probably prefer spending time fiddling with conky than going through these damn log files. D:
