Is the bar in this pic conky?

Here is the pic - http://upload.centerzone.it/images/2sqo … ebonbh.png

Is the panel on the top CONKY?

If it is, does anyone have a config for it?

Yes - it is conky: a pretty standard setup - you can replicate it by reading the conky documentation.

Thanks for the quick reply (on both of my threads!) I'll read up on it.

EDIT ---------------------------

Just to make sure I'm on the right track, could you provide a link?

Re: Is the bar in this pic conky?

It's coming along. I have most of what I want on there, but I was wondering..

How would I get the background of conky to span all the way across my screen? of course, the more I add to it, the closer it gets to the edges, but.. Is there anyway to keep the background of conky (the black) to stretch across, and just have the text adjust on the bar without moving the background?

I hope somebody understands what I'm trying to say.. the pic in my first post might give you an idea of what I mean.
