edit:
Perre, i wish i could be more OCD about my comp. i regret putting so much crap on it sometimes but then i do use it a bit. i'm just biding my time till i get a new lappy then i'm storing this one away for media and other storage. maybe testing some things from time to time =P
deep down i want to just set aside some space for this comp, my 360, and a slingbox, so when i get a netbook i'll be able to sit around looking smug.
oh as a small liittle note, i switched to gnome-shell today and had an issue with conky not showing up the way i originally confured it. to fix this, i just changed line 8:
from
own_window_type overide
to
own_window_type normal

This is the most best and useful conky i have ever seen..!!! Most of the things are running, but not able to find out how to run update and about the gmail in it, can anyone tell how it can be done ???

Be sure that everything is installed. My conky version is the following (conky -v):

 X11:
  * Xdamage extension
  * XDBE (double buffer extension)
  * Xft
  * ARGB visual

 Music detection:
  * MPD
  * MOC

 General:
  * math
  * hddtemp
  * portmon
  * Curl
  * RSS
  * Weather (METAR)
  * Weather (XOAP)
  * wireless
  * support for IBM/Lenovo notebooks
  * config-output
  * Imlib2
  * apcupsd
  * iostats
  * ncurses
  * Lua

  Lua bindings:
   * Cairo
   * Imlib2

Mpd
-----
Mpd Documentation-> ArchWiki - Mpd

Conky-forecast
-------------------
conky-forecast Documentation -> Ubuntu - conkyForecast (in french)
You basically need to create an account on Weather.com and subscribe to the XML Data Feed

Paconky
----------
paconky Documentation-> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=68104
You need to add cron job to update pacman if you want to see some changes in conky (not needed for aur packages)

However:

[2011-07-01] UPDATE The bash version of paconky is deprecated. Use the much more efficient paconky.py replacement script. http://xyne.archlinux.ca/scripts/conky/

I wasn't sure where to post this. I'm trying to set up conky to display different colors in dwm and I'm having a couple of problems. I have the statuscolors patch applied. I only had 3 colors defined in my config.h and wanted to use the first two for my status bar but was unable to. After some beating my head on the desk, I just added those same 2 colors as my fourth and fifth colors in my config.h and it seemed to work. My first question is why is that so? Here's the relevant part of my config.h

#define NUMCOLORS         5             // need at least 3
static const char colors[NUMCOLORS][ColLast][8] = {
   // border   foreground  background
   { "#000000", "#7f7f7f", "#000000" },  // 0 = normal
   { "#000000", "#b3b3b3", "#000000" },  // 1 = selected
   { "#000000", "#cd0000", "#000000" },  // 2 = urgent/warning
   { "#000000", "#7f7f7f", "#000000" },  // 3 = grey
   { "#000000", "#b3b3b3", "#000000" },  // 4 = white
   // add more here

Anyway, like I said, it works now (as in displaying the colors like I want it to), but afterwards I noticed a considerable jump in cpu usage when idle. Here's a screenshot

Here's my .conkyrc (BTW, I'm using the regular conky from the repros, not conky-cli) http://ompldr.org/vYThxaQ The weird characters are the icons that I drew but they're not displaying correctly on ompldr. Can someone tell me whats going on or what I did wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

EDIT: I solved it with help from this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=917488 by changing it to ${execi 10000 echo -e \\x0*} and i also changed the update_interval to 2. It works better now. Thanks sad clown!

Thanks for the conky, I'm using it with almost no changes needed

I am new to Arch and enjoying it so far. Very much appreciate this forum and the wiki.
This is my very simple conky+gnome3. I am a simpleton and like simple.

I had to use a script to delay conky from starting for 10sec

#!/bin/bash
#wait 10 seconds then start conky

(sleep 10 && conky) &

Conky PitStop

A once in a blue moon offer: two featured conkys this week: thevdude & xeNULL and of course they are both on the Gallery 2011 2 page as well.

thevdude's thanking exNULL for the original conky he used, modified however, reminded me I have been lax, as I have had exNULL's conky ready to go for a while so I made it a special week with two featured conkys.

Enjoy!

NOTE: We need more ARCH conkys!
