conky - the ultimate torsmo

[super]

any chance of a backport for this app?

it was a fork of torsmo but apparently torsmo is dead (or so i've heard)
it is actually a lot better than torsmo, and the debian dudes are gonna be adding it to their repos soon.

this is the homepage

It seems pretty interesting.I second the motion.

just to let you guys know, conky 1.3.0 came out yesterday, big pimpin'. see http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthre...ighlight=conky

I also support this request. Seems like a VERY good program and far better than torsmo. When could this program be in the repositories? (an estimate?)

Torsmo is unmaintained, and it's recommended that you use Conky instead, which has many more features then torsmo. A lot of things which required external scripts with torsmo are built-in to Conky. http://conky.sf.net/

Theres a debian package there already. Just download it from there?

The .deb i386 works on Hoary. Just gotta figure out how to config the damn thing. Any help?

Here are some screenshots of Conky in action. Each screenshot comes with a linked conkyrc file and any other scripts that may be needed.
