Description This is the first time I'm posting something of this level.

Running openbox under Arch

I'm a minimalism lover. I like all fancy conky configs - but I find that none of them work for me. So, here's my own setup using work done by the community here at

The BMpanel and conky bar at the top always remain visible. Any data I need to have a quick look at is provided by the conky bar. The panel has a few launchers and also shows me time and date.

Indebted a lot to cool people who showed the way

Apps : GQview, BMpanel2, Conky, Conky Album Art script, Stalonetray

GTK Theme : GAIA Sprout [link]
Openbox Theme : Naos OB suite [link]
Conky : Modification of My Horizontal Conky [link]
Conky for album art : By me using ConkyBanshee
BMpanel2 theme: Modded from ~flamingmoe1979
[link]

Wall : Amazing work by ~freakyframes [link]

Please feel free to drop a line in case you can't find any particular config or need further details

Can conky be used as a "wallpaper hack"? So having a panel "without" bacground, conky woudl display an image, like the one on your bottom panel, but, if the wallpaper changes, it still has that particular image displaying behind the panel.

Like in this video, so that it doesn't need to be done for every single wallpaper used. here

very slick man, i've tried a couple of times to create a minimalistic setup but i could never quite get it setup they way i like it. Seeing screenshots of setups like this always makes me want to give it another go.
