Cheers. I've installed conky however when I run it, it opens in it's own window. How do I get it to appear on the desktop background? I know I could use fvwmbuttons to swallow it but I was hoping to there was maybe another way??

Thanks

Hello. The attachment file is my conky config file.please rename it to .conkyrc and copy to your home directory.Feel free to modify it youself.

Thanks for that - copied and it runs fine (apart from IP address not displaying however the speeds do). I'll get on with setting it up how I want it later on!

Another vote for xfce and a simple desktop

Looks good, Andrew. I like your Conky configuration.

Simple XFCE. Wallpaper is a photo of the Sea of Galilee from the north, probably somewhere near where Jesus would have delivered the Sermon on the Mount.
