Okey, that's great. Have you downloaded and installed the pets in the first post?
That's technically all the files Conky needs to run.
However, if there is a black screen around where Conky is, let me know, and I'll help you tweak your system settings to get rid of the black.
Finally, to actually get Conky running you can create a script, called "conkystart" or something and put it in your /root/Startup folder.
Put this in the file:
Code: | conky -c /path/to/conkyrc |
"conky" is basically the program. "-c" is saying use this theme. And "/path/to/conkyrc" is the location where your Conky theme file is.
Alternatively, you could try using the Conky theme switcher,
Which will basically setup what I said above and give you a nice GUI to pick Conky setups. If you have any questions, fire away.

I've updated the conky switcher a little and made some more themes for it.
http://smokey01.com/jemimah/misc/conkyswitcher-rox-0.02.pet
There are some additional fonts you'll need.
http://smokey01.com/saluki/pet_packages-saluki/ubuntu-font-001.pet
http://smokey01.com/saluki/pet_packages-saluki/liberation-fonts-ttf-1.07.2.pet
http://smokey01.com/saluki/pet_packages-saluki/extra-fonts-1.0.pet
Screen shots are here:

This should work with rox/jwm but I haven't tested it (I only tested on Saluki, but if you run Saluki, use the pet in the saluki repo - it's not the same). The new themes might need some tweaks for ROX if I didn't get them quite right.

I created the conkystart script, and i opened it with abiword to place the line that you gave me in it but there was already something in it "#!/bin/sh" What is this and should i delete it and add what you gave me or place it along side it?

This is great! Thanks battleshooter.
I'm pretty close here.. only problem is that I can't see the actual background in any theme. Only the widgets on the right are visible.
I also tried looking root/.conky/orangelua/conkyrc where does the background come from.. but I couldn't see any path there..
*lupu 528.003 "pendrive", Xorg@1280x800, openbox, no wbar, Asus a6u laptop*
is it the lack of wbar, running from pendrive or just a tricky laptop ?
edit
I guess the cool backgrounds don't come with the package..

@jemimah
Cool, nice to know someone's giving Conky switcher some love. I'll add a link to the first post for Saluki users. The latest Saluki 019 looks awesome by the way, really looking forward to messing around with it tonight.
@XBlackChaosX
Nope, don't get rid of "#!/bin/sh". It's to tell the system it's a script.
Just add conky -c /path/to/conkyrc on the line beneath it.
@r4m0n3
Sorry man, not really sure what the problem is Your screenshot looks normal, what do you mean exactly by "can't see the actual background in any theme" What background? Not running Wbar shouldn't be a problem.

Trying to run the Suuuuny theme from jemimahs updated .pet and conky won't load - I get the following errors in the terminal:
Code: | Conky: llua_load: /root/.conky/Suuuuny/text.lua:8: module 'cairo' not found:

I've used various liblua packages... Any ideas anyone?

Oh right sorry, no the backgrounds don't come with the packages, they were just examples of what you could do with the Conky theme. Were there any particular wallpapers you were after?

aa, if the black window is persistent, check the position of
feh --bg-scale /root/.background in /root/.xinitrc .
the code line: rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin appears at least twice (i remember they reside in an if - else statement), so try to place it before the other instance. (this is what i was doing wrong the first time around).
alternatively, with conky enabled, use nathan's wallpaper setter and change the wp image.
See if transparency appears (which is what the
feh --bg-scale $IMAGE
cp -f $IMAGE /root/.background
code in the file /usr/local/apps/Wallpaper/set_bg does).
i have a sneaky suspicion that half the enjoyment of conky is trying to get it to work they way you like. Hang in there

Hmmm, XFCE... that could be a little different because it comes with real transparency. Alright, back to the topic on hand, what was the last thing you edited before XFCE didn't start? Are you able to load into other window managers like JWM?
