You can use background images, transparency - what have you. I have had a lot more fun configuring, designing and creating my own Conky Objects than I can express. That said, I would encourage you to go for it. Rainmeter has nice graphics and is easy to deploy.

But the answer would be Conky.Ĭonky is far more versatile than Rainmeter, however, much less simple to set up and configure than Rainmeter is. to a person who has never used it before. I hardly use it, but if you've any guides to send my way. I've also heard you can really beautify the terminal. And I guess any suggestions on things to beautify a zorin lite xfce install without eating too many resources? I've already figured out the basics (font/theme/icon/cursor). More specifically, I'd like a pretty desktop clock and maybe a music player widget or some system info.Ī way to change the icons of programs in the taskbar (where my custom ones don't seem to automatically appear)Ī more customisable music player, preferably with a layout like AIMP's small vertical themes.Ī way to throw excess tray icons into some kind of overflow menu so they don't clutter my taskbar but are there in case I need themĪ way to have my start menu be a set of pinned items rather than a full app directory? I've heard doing widgets on linux is a pain, that they're disparate programs with weird requirements, etc. I'm not sure if this should be one question, or 5, or here or under Customisation, but I'm still getting used to this forum so I think I'm allowed some mistakes.Īn analogue to Rainmeter, if possible.
