I wrote an ultra-minimalist Conky configuration file for myself and I figured that I should probably share this because I’ve seen too many shitty Conky setups. If you want minimalism then this code is for you:

(Note: The background is transparent. The blue you see is from my wallpaper.)

own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

Feel free to share this code with anyone. All I ask is that you link back to this post.
