Hi there amsweitzer ,

Excellent, simply marvelous work done. Congrats.

Beautiful eye catching lookig desktop.

Could you explain how you installed Conky, when I download the tar & extract it in home>vaio & run the terminal command nothing happens?

Shall be grateful if you could care to explain.

Btw where from did you get the wall paper & what settings do you have for the desktop.

Hoping to hear from you,

Regards!

Chris.

to install conky in terminal type sudo apt-get install conky-all
then point to the downloaded config file to build the launcher in gnomenu
then after you test to see launcher works you then set as a startup app so it auto runs when you login

Chris the wallpaper is Azenis and the Dock is custom built dock I'll be uploading a full setup of my desktop soon still in construction mode fine-tuning it I need to reactive my panel then hide for safety reasons you don't want to rely just on awn you need the panel as a backup if you lose awn for some reason you then lose access to some much needed stuff like terminal you end up with just F2 functionality with Awn down and no panel

I checked the download file it created a folder in the compression so extract folder then copy the files to home dir like this then setup Conky launcher like this

the files are hidden [ctrl] H will show the files

to use the new dock go to your awn dock right click the dockbar
dock prefences
themes install browse to the tar file

Hello again amsweitzer,

Apologize to be bothering you.

1. Where can I find the Main menu & Launcher Properties as shown in the screenshot?

2. How do I extract the downloads/Conky files to go in home, again as in the screen shot......when I extract them cant find them any where?

Thanks.

Chris.

[urlhttp://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Azenis+Burg+Theme?content=155203][/url] download this its a burg theme with the background in it to use burg you need to download buc then super-boot-manager install burg then gksu nautilus copy the folder in the compressed file to /boot/burg themes instructions for installing the zorin icons are at the download page you need to edit classes themes icons hover,grey,large small files and put the icons in the icons folder as well as the azenis folder

If you don't want to use burg as your bootloader just copy the background from the folder
