Hello

If you would please take a look at this screen shot that I have attached here. I came across this online but I haven't been able to find anything on it. I'm interested on the items that I have marked with a red X. Is this some sort of Screen-let theme package?

Thank you for you time and help.

To run multiple conkys, instead of using the command conky to load
your config you name each config something like conky1, conky2 etc.

Then to run you use

conky -c /path/to/conky1
The -c option tells conky to load a config file instead of $HOME/.conkyrc

If you just run "conky" it loads the config ~/.conkyrc.
If there is no ~/.conkyrc file it will load a sample config at /etc/conky/conky.conf

So after giving your configs different names you would use a script added to startup applications to start your conkys.
eg
#!/bin/bash
sleep 20 && # 0 good for Xfce - use 20 to 30 for Gnome
conky -c ~/Conky/conky1 &
sleep 3 &&
conky -c ~/Conky/conky2 &

Thank you all for the information.

But, I think its screenlets also!
However I have screenlets installed already and what is shown in the desktop screen shot is not part of the base package.

The search continues!
If I find anything I'll let you all know.

They look like gDesklets which I don't think is actively developed anymore.

Ya! You right is was Gdesklets!
I tried it for a little bit.
It must be older....... I didn't like the interface very much.

That and when you install it there are only 4-5 GDesklet items installed in the program. A Calendar a clock and two other items.

Seemed weak!

Still thanks for all your help.
