Chertan is a Cool Circular Conky Theme for Linux

Conky is a great way to personalise your Linux desktop regardless of which distro or DE you’re using. There are hundreds if not thousands of Conky themes available, ranging from simple stat tables to Lua-laden masterpieces. I recently came across a new Conky config I like. It shows the date, current weather conditions, an average CPU and RAM load, and the currently playing song in MPD. I figured I’d share the theme on here and add a bit info on how to customise this Conky to work with your location and any MPRIS-compatible music player, rather than MPD. It requires :sys_more_orange:

A Hybrid Clock/Now Playing Conky for Your Desktop

I’ve been looking for a decent “Now Playing” widget for my Ubuntu desktop for a while now, having been inspired by some Rainmeter setups I saw in a thread on Windows desktops. And I finally found one — but it took some searching. Now, I appreciate that the days of showing your currently playing track on your actual desktop is are gone. It’s 2021, and most Linux desktop environments (including GNOME, which Ubuntu uses) support MPRIS controls in some form or another. Standalone now playing ‘widgets’ (like the much-missed CoverGloobus, pictured as part of a particularly impressive desktop below) are :sys_more_orange:

‘Now Clocking’ is a Hybrid Clock/Now Playing Conky for Your Desktop

I’ve been looking for a decent “Now Playing” widget for my Ubuntu desktop for a while now, having been inspired by some Rainmeter version I saw in a thread on Windows desktop. And I finally found one — but it took some searching. Now, I appreciate that the days of showing you currently playing track on your desktop is pretty niche in 2021. And most Linux desktop environments (including GNOME, which Ubuntu uses) support MPRIS controls some form or another.
