Just now, i using conky again.. I dunno, just cant stand with screenlets. I get the conky config and font from here, but with little tweak and adaptation to my sistem. Since this conky using HDDtemp and lm-sensors to work. So, i highly recommend that, if you want to use this kind of conky config, read How-To for lm-sensors first. Because, lm-sensors is very-very machine-dependent, so there is a chance for my config can’t work on yours. But, this conky config is worth to try, because its very nice!! 
This is little How-To perhaps can help
At first, read the readme!!!, and then edit the .conkyrc file. change “thinkpad_hwmon” to something else that your sensors were depends to. As for me, my sensors were using it87 for detection, and in /sys/bus/platform/devices/ folder which has name similiar like it87 was it87.656, so i change the “thinkpad_hwmon” to “it87.656″ (without quotes). for the “temp 1″ or “temp 2″ you may change to the most reasonable temperature when you type “sensors” in terminal. As for me, when i type sensors it appears like this :
it8712-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore 1: +1.33 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
VCore 2: +2.56 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
+3.3V: +3.26 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
+5V: +4.95 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +6.85 V)
+12V: +12.48 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +16.32 V)
-12V: -13.12 V (min = -27.36 V, max = +3.93 V)
-5V: -5.26 V (min = -13.64 V, max = +4.03 V)
Stdby: +6.85 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +6.85 V)
VBat: +4.08 V
fan1: 3110 RPM (min = 2657 RPM, div = 2)
fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 2)
fan3: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 2)
M/B Temp: -55.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = transistor
CPU Temp: -2.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = transistor
Temp3: +59.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +70.0°C) sensor = thermal diode
cpu0_vid: +1.388 V
The “M/B Temp” was “temp 1″; “CPU Temp” was “temp 2″ and “Temp 3″ was “temp 3″. Since i feel that temp 2 was wrong, so i replace “temp 2″ with “temp 3″
The Net Upload/Download Meter in the original config was using Wireless Lan. If you do using this, then its ok. But, if you use a wire, then replace “wlan0″ with “eth0″
For Alternative, or if you want to use my config, then you could have it here (dont forget to erase the .odt ^^)
The Wallpaper i use is from here and the Iconset is from here
Feel free to comment if you have questions
Sorry for my bad english
Regards




what about some transparency?
