If yes, you have to install screenlets. For do it open Ubuntu Software Center, search for 'Screenlets' and install it.

There is no best anything, there are options but none are outright best..

You can install gdesklets in software centre then use some from the default install, or download some from (among other sites):

I don't use any screenlet or widget etc.
I use Ubuntu 11.04, and if I must use a screenlet etc. I'll probably choose for Screenlets and/or conky.
Conky is more customizable, I like it so much!

ohhh kkkk.....after ya review got up and installed conky using sudo apt-get install conky-all then had to run it through terminal using cmd CONKY .....

but thats not the problem .....i think i got to configure this thing according to my system requirment cause it makes my cario dock and its effects buggy....also the windows that i open are too effected.....

you know any easy way to use and configure this conky ? Is there any graphical interface available to setup the conky like other programmes ?

Also am using compzip with cube effect, 4 diffrent desktop with diffrent wallpapers and many more such effects already working......i have removed unity and have Cario dock instead ...........willl this conky still work with my existing settings ??

In simple words how do i make this thing work with my existing setup ?

Thanks .... :D

Yes, it works with your settings.
Here is the official page with all the variable to configure your conky:
http://conky.sourceforge.net/config_settings.html

here is a simple guide:

you can find a little guide on italian ubuntu forum here:

Hey LordFury,

For the best widget on Ubuntu 11.4, try "Screenlets." Install it using:

arduino
Copy code
sudo apt-get install screenlets
To find widgets, visit gnome-look.org. Have fun customizing your desktop! For more details visit : https://opchatgpt.com/
