 ======Conky====== ======Conky======
 Conky  is a Linux system monitor tool using X Windows.  Conky is highly configurable and is able to monitor many system variables including the status of the CPU, memory, swap space, disk storage, temperatures, processes, network interfaces, battery power, system messages, e-mail in-boxes  Linux updates, runs many popular music players, and much more. Unlike system monitors that use high-level widget tool-kits to render their information, Conky is drawn directly in an X window, allowing it to consume relatively fewer system resources. Conky  is a Linux system monitor tool using X Windows.  Conky is highly configurable and is able to monitor many system variables including the status of the CPU, memory, swap space, disk storage, temperatures, processes, network interfaces, battery power, system messages, e-mail in-boxes  Linux updates, runs many popular music players, and much more.

 The color names that are used within Conky are the X11 colors located in /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt.  There isn't a standard set of colors to be found on any X Window system, so you'll need to inspect this file to get some idea of what color names you can use.  This [[https://web.archive.org/web/20181207091827/http://www.kgym.jp/freesoft/xrgb.html|X color name list]], that could help you visualized the colors. The color names that are used within Conky are the X11 colors located in /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt.  There isn't a standard set of colors to be found on any X Window system, so you'll need to inspect this file to get some idea of what color names you can use.  This [[https://web.archive.org/web/20181207091827/http://www.kgym.jp/freesoft/xrgb.html|X color name list]], that could help you visualized the colors.
