Please help me create my own .conkyrc file!

my screen is 13 inches

cpu, ram, swap usage, network connection, battery usage, list of top processes (with PID)

transparent, white, not too big but readable, simple would be nice

THANK YOU!

Nobody creates anything for you. You do it yourself. There is an example in /etc/conky/conky.conf
Try to edit that and modify according to your needs.
See this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865)for some guidance. And you can find countless tutorials on conky on net.

Good Luck.

sorry for my bad english

if you're lazy like me, you could use this (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/CONKY-colors?content=92328) to generate your .conkyrc file. It create a really nice conky look, IMO. And you still can edit the generated .conkyrc to fit your screen.

No. It's about copying, modifying and making it better and in turn sharing with others. That's what Linux is all about.

coping anything isnt goina get you used to how to add things and realy get it the way you want, find some all ready made, read through them and see how its done, you might even find some things you didn't know you'd like to add in
