Hello again ,
Guys I have got a new problem so once again I need your helps .
I did exactly like this :

nstall/Use

Downloaded okay? Great. Now I’m going to assume that you don’t already have Conky installed. To remedy this open a terminal and type: –


sudo apt-get install conky

Now you have Conky we need to use the Conky theme.


Extract the archive you downloaded a few steps back
Move the .conkytheme folder extracted into your home folder (if it’s not already there)
Run the following in a terminal: conky -c ~/.conkytheme/conkyrc

You should now see Conky bar on the bottom.




and its Ok and works fine BUT when I restart my pc Its Gone I tried to add it to startup applicatin and the problem is It starts with out the theme .


all I need to know is how can I have conky auto start with theme ?


Thank you .

Add "conky -c ~/.conkytheme/conkyrc" to Startup Applications.

It should. Try replacing the "~" with /home/your-username
