A topic about Conky polishing & Conky handling in Mabox rewrite
Conky widgets in Mabox are unique. They are equipped with special features not found in other distributions:
- Easy theming, auto-theming, on-screen placement
- Mouse click events
- Launching user-customized commands or menus
- Conky Widget Manager
I’m very proud of what I’ve already managed to create for Conky, but I also see some shortcomings - hence this thread
