What happens when you type
Code:
conky
in a terminal?

"Doesn't work"...is useless. try again.

I already tried a lot of times and it is an application which starts and instantly quits of its own !! And it could be started from the application menu too thats why I added it doesn't work!
Whenever I'm trying it with the terminal it shows this error

conky: Syntax error (/etc/conky/conky.conf:1: '=' expected near 'yes') while reading config file.
conky: Assuming it's in old syntax and attempting conversion.
conky: desktop window (160011b) is subwindow of root window (499)
conky: window type - override
conky: drawing to created window (0x4200001)
conky: drawing to double buffer
conky: unknown variable '$pre_exec'
conky: forked to background, pid is 3391
conky: can't open /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent: No such file or directory
conky: can't open /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state: No such file or directory
conky: obj->data.i 5 info.cpu_count 4
conky: attempting to use more CPUs than you have!

So still is it "doesn't work" useless?

From link above:
Quote:
hi, the desktop widget is called conky, and its configuration files are located in /etc/conky, but if you want to enable/disable it, you just have to open system->preferences->startup applications and disable the checkbox of the conky label, from there you can also disable the "computer ready" voice played at login

Real thanks for all of your concern but if it was about abling or disabling it then I would have had done that but the problem is that easy anyway I contacted one of the admin of Parrot OS and he told me that gtk doesn't support it and hence it doesn't work!
