Hey, just installed Screenlets, which I love, and have found System Monitor, which i've been wanting to put on my desktop for quite some time.
I could do the same with Conky, as this screenlet has a conky basis, but i never figured it out or had time to edit conky config. files to how i would like it (is there a place with a bunch of pre-done formats that you could select?).
So right now it looks nice (screenshot attached) but i the problem of the screenlet being in the way whenever I pull up an app maximized. My question is: Is there a way to set a screenlet to autohide (much like docky, how it has autohide or intellihide)?
I read that for 11.04 they have fixed this issue with a new screenlets version. but im a year behind, running lynx (LTS reasons) instead. Im not sure if i understand this correctly, but if i got the ppa and used the Software Center, could i get the latest version on Lynx? Or will it only work with Unity?
Or perhaps more preferably, is there another alternative to get a system monitor up without this problem? Conky or other alternative?
Thanks in advance.
