mrjohnbates 10 months ago	1	Won't shut down properly, can't even kill it from the terminal - the image stays frozen on the desktop. Fix that and I'll give it at least 4 stars.
plimboster 1 year ago	5	Супер.
S1lent 2 years ago	4	Great!
cmoi 2 years ago	5	Je ne peux plus m'en passer ;)
mototank 2 years ago	3	in Mint18 install ppa:teejee2008/ppa refresh cache then install conky-manager You can also try to fix tranparency issue in some widgets Open theme folder then edit conky_seamod (for example) search "own_window_argb_visual no" replace to "#own_window_argb_visual no" or just delete it
vahid-mint 2 years ago	5	perfect! great! but could have a better defaul theme
GuywoodThreepbrush 3 years ago	3	Also so wie auf dem Screenshot hätte ich das auch gerne. Leider habe ich nur ein unschönes schwarzes Fenster mit unschöner Schrift und keine Möglichkeit irgendwie was einzustellen.
KAMAZ 3 years ago	4	Enough complicated to ajusting
donvercety 3 years ago	4	eye candy stuff
Fambida 3 years ago	4	Incredibly awesome program. Incredibly annoying to configure.
TheOracle 3 years ago	4	Very useful, but the user experience is the worst imaginable so I'll give it 4 stars instead of 5.
ksanti 3 years ago	3	Запуск производится через '/usr/bin/conky' но черт побери как использовать ?
fels 3 years ago	4	that's very useful
marvec 3 years ago	2	Might be the best system monitor, but the user-friendliness is poor. Without a GUI setup a no reactions to mouse clicking, this is hardly usable for a regular consumer.
nivekevin 3 years ago	4	Be sure to install a nice config!
pixelpusher 3 years ago	5	Pretty cool... thx :)
Rodrix 3 years ago	5	Genial aplicación altamente configurable que utiliza muy pocos recursos de la máquina y que puede mostrar en tu escritorio cantidad de információn muy útil.
PGreenman2288 3 years ago	5	Conki is awesome! A must have for watching your Intel Atom explode
open_sky 3 years ago	2	Тоже не смог найти..(( после установки неизвестно где это приложение..
Hammer459 3 years ago	1	Why????? removed after a short trial
fotonix 3 years ago	4	No gui, but "man conky" in terminal should get most people on the right track to happiness.
ravindra_sisodia 3 years ago	5	Love it !!!
Juan-Guillermo 3 years ago	5	Me gusta.
bicyclist56 3 years ago	5	Приятно чувствовать, как поживает любимое железо.
capa 3 years ago	5	Conky really is a fantastic utility and has a versatility that no GUI can offer, if you want an app with a few buttons and a list of settings this isn't for you. If you like to tinker and learn and get things exactly how you want them you'll love it.
shons 3 years ago	1	Не смог найти! Установка проходит и всё! Нет его нигде...
cruizer 4 years ago	5	very good for desktop customization
gumby175 4 years ago	1	can't even find information on how to start it,or where it is, too much time wasted on it already
rsamaio01 4 years ago	1	does not even have a gui?
jahid_0903014 4 years ago	4	nice
Trage 4 years ago	5	+ conky-manager (GUI)! A+++
GiampIX 4 years ago	5	quello che cercavo
elstellino 4 years ago	1	Flexibility:10 always if you can overcome the 0 usability. When a bloody GUI? We are in 2014!
brego 4 years ago	5	absolutely necessary thing
HerrDierk 4 years ago	5	This is a great thing. You don't have to be a programmer to costumize it's features. Very simpel.
Janusz 4 years ago	5	Umożliwia wgląd do podstawowych informacji niezbędnych przy codziennym korzystaniu z komputera, daje nowoczesność co jest dużym plusem w porównaniu z windą.
brettd43 4 years ago	5	If you put in the time to learn how to use it, the possibilities are endless. It gives you so much power to customise your desktop, it's hard to know where to start.
poly 4 years ago	5	great
STARdz 4 years ago	3	OK
ericvictor66 4 years ago	5	nice
jfarias83 4 years ago	4	buen paquete
jaijujacob 5 years ago	5	This makes my Linux desktop different & sophisticated looks.. Awesome!
linesma 5 years ago	5	Works as advertised and give my desktop that wow factor!
sadasivam 5 years ago	3	I tried this software only for data upload/download. But it does not give correct values. If you miss the software after installing it, press Alt+F2 and type conky.
withallduerespect 5 years ago	4	I went looking for a linux equivalent of rainmeter, and this seems to fit the bill. Highly customizable, but some of the more advanced looks require you to dabble with lua. Overall, I would say that the documentation is solid, but making things work the way you want will require some tinkering.
Pawli 5 years ago	5	Mě se to moc líbí
malrubius 5 years ago	5	Works great in lm 15, you just have to find a good example .conkyrc and save it to your home directory
DestinTheGreat 5 years ago	1	Not working lm 15 mate
Hoanes 5 years ago	3	can't find it (using mint 15)
Mr_Coffee 5 years ago	5	Fantastic program! One of the first things I install on fresh installs.
Oldrocker 5 years ago	3	Looks Good from Screen Shots, I Installed it, but can't find it (Using Mint 15)
mohammad2548 5 years ago	5	ای والا
jackho 5 years ago	5	Excellent, a must have!
gingerichkr 5 years ago	2	Tried to install it 3 times and still can't find it (Mint 14)
Cable 5 years ago	5	It's like free beer. Awesomeness!
christopherfgarcia 5 years ago	5	Awesome! I'm using conky-infinity by the way, and it works well running on the background much like a wallpaper.. I'd say a system monitoring wallpaper..
radi1962 5 years ago	4	immer alles im Blick...
vikramkaushik 6 years ago	2	sa
gorsing 6 years ago	5	Очень люблю, нужная вещь :)
Arpy 6 years ago	5	Great
ali20 6 years ago	4	perfect
mysoomro 6 years ago	4	it seems really good, but I can't configure it!! So it doesn't look that good.. Just a huge gray rectangle box showing all the info..
RomanH 6 years ago	5	After come tries works absolute fine for my openbox
bison 6 years ago	5	Awesome
danihome 6 years ago	4	work great!
ulysses 6 years ago	2	Not really be taken seriously.
stel 6 years ago	5	Great!
newpaul 6 years ago	2	Issues in gnome 3; pastime for tweakers only
Mazhar 6 years ago	5	Amazing thing. fantastic!
crismblog 6 years ago	5	Great tool.
krause 6 years ago	5	Perfeito em conjunto com pekwm
orionthehunter 7 years ago	5	Fantastic for displaying text output of anything you want to monitor. There's almost nothing that can't be monitored with conky. Also integrates well into many beautiful desktop themes with Lua scripts.
Vegan 7 years ago	5	pure awesomeness. I tend to give up all the bling bling and stay with just the ip ( to check if my proxies ares ok ) and the open ports, sometimes a to-do list. Also network up and down. Takes less than 1 meg of ram and goes very well with some cyberpunk backgrounds. The possibility of having the sunrise and sunset time is also nice to organise your day according to it. No need for a gui, the code is very easy.
happicoin 7 years ago	3	conky
faita 7 years ago	5	its simple and i love it
nicabod 7 years ago	5	Really nice in Parted Magic (transparent BG, unobtrusive Courier-like type face. In Katya, it's unmovable, apparently always on top, and has black BG. It hijacks that part of your screen (upper left). Will uninstall. Trying to figure out how to configure it is a disgusting matter. That's /really/ unfortunate! Not giving up, just yet, though, but if it takes more than half an hour to learn how to configure it with a transparent BG, sorry, folks.
hexram 7 years ago	5	Undisputed winner.
nagalman 7 years ago	5	Best system monitor out there for Linux
sunewbie 7 years ago	3	http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/conkywizard-gui-to-set-up-conky.html
SirGalahad 7 years ago	3	flexibility 10, stability 5.
ansolo 7 years ago	5	-=Amazing Program=- I have been using this for years. Extremely stable. As versatile as your imagination :)
prativasic 7 years ago	3	Conky is, of course much powerful and soothing for eye. But, its user-friendliness sucks! yeah that's true. I never found a good resource to understand it completely. However, I'll look forward for the day when there will be customizable GUI tools for Conky Configuration.
blueXrider 7 years ago	1	Doesn't play well with Katya and Compiz
obakfahad 7 years ago	5	This will make any desktop wonderfull.....just eye locking tools for your desktop.
Richard 7 years ago	5	mais pas très facile à configurer pour un néophyte
DOXIO 7 years ago	5	9
erickalves05 7 years ago	5	Leve, bonito, personalizável. Não troco por nenhum outro gadget.
sajukktheeternal 7 years ago	1	no. Absolutely not. I regret having spent time with this. It takes user friendliness at least 10 years behind. The philosophy of this is SO against Mint. So many happy comments, and none telling the truth: This is not just a non user-friendly program. It's a "user shove off" program
kazztan0325 7 years ago	5	아주 좋아요 ! [Aju joayo] (= Very Good !)
atifalhazmi 7 years ago	5	i love it
zaenal1234 7 years ago	2	can cause error on pc...., I prefer screenlets.
Steampunk-Nick 7 years ago	5	great system monitor
spacy01 7 years ago	5	Lovly system monitor, but we know, that conky is much more...
Da_Londo 7 years ago	4	Excelent tool.
leonidas79 7 years ago	5	Great tool.
Aleksandar 7 years ago	2	Not user friendly. I prefer screenlets/gadgets/widgets solution over this.
nospoftombl 7 years ago	4	All infos you need, looks great
sayan_acharjee 7 years ago	3	ya so so!!
M_onkeyman 7 years ago	4	Cool little app, light and customizable; only problem can be learning how to program the app, but other than that, awesome.
velheru 8 years ago	5	...
guv999 8 years ago	5	Excellent program - saves having screenlets or applets to get system information and looks more integrated with the desktop . That said, it is not straight forward to configure and expect to take some time and potentially refer to tutorials and forums. The results are well worth it though
mikefreeman 8 years ago	2	I'm not against anyone using it, but it's not for me, and doesn't seem like it's compatible with the purpose behind Mint. Just about anything I'd use it for could be done MUCH easier and also visually appealing with panel applets, screenlets, or other means.
zapa 8 years ago	3	Not verry usefull but nice ...
bikerboi87 8 years ago	5	absolutely brilliant. the configuration file may put people off, but it's definately an incredibly useful and powerful program
efthialex 8 years ago	5	I Love it!
crownabhisek 8 years ago	5	Handome really
DIONISIS_POLITIS 8 years ago	4	it looks very nice although not absolutely necessary. It's fun to configure it!
miana 8 years ago	1	It's very hard to configure and to use. Not suitable for 80% people in this world. You should make it user friendly, otherwise most people in the world cannot use it all all.
grim 8 years ago	5	Your imagination is the limit! Very useful!
itonggant 8 years ago	4	love it...
iamhewhoisnot 8 years ago	5	First time using it, Liking it very much. Need to play around with the config file to make it look cleaner.
shaon121 8 years ago	5	better than sidebar
reazuliqbal 8 years ago	5	Very nice. I m loving it!
damien-tt 8 years ago	5	Highly configurable and good-lookin'. :)
kjell75 8 years ago	1	Anyone who can think of any reason why I cannot find this app on my computer after installing it? (LM10RC)
sklinux 8 years ago	5	Great and beautiful
mentos001 8 years ago	5	for our friend who said it doesn't work in isadora, you must create the conky config file and optimise it before
flor_de_azucena 8 years ago	5	Aaaah! Loving it! Just don't be afraid of configuring it to your liking.
AgametovR 8 years ago	5	BEST!!!
derfragliche 8 years ago	5	Very nice little monitoring program! Very versatile!!

dawnrazor 8 years ago	5	Always the 1st install - indespensable
ivanovnegro 8 years ago	3	A nice app but in my opinion its not so useful for me and it tooks ressorces.
Tropico 8 years ago	5	great
Celtore 8 years ago	4	Difficult to set up, however once it is working, this lightweight system monitor can literally fit into any kind of desktop environment
farnaby 8 years ago	4	quite nice, but more of a geeky toy. if i just want to know what's going on on my computer, i use htop.
mmesantos1 8 years ago	4	Great system monitor app, need to do some homework before you can get it working but worth the effort.
huntman 8 years ago	5	Great app.
linuxmint 8 years ago	5	Awesome app for Linux, although for some it might be hard to setup :)
SeanBest 8 years ago	5	Just awesome, hardest part is figuring out what you want because there's so many options!
asdfz0r 8 years ago	4	Best systemmonitor available, configuration is tricky at beginning but after spending some time with it, it just works. Fancy little thing, this application.
qa_fan99 8 years ago	5	Great app, lots of examples availavle to show how to configure
jacobdb 8 years ago	4	good app, but a little tricky to configure.
thx1138 8 years ago	5	The best system monitor. Many individual configurations can be done within minutes.
