Hi,

for Conky, see this:

It is a much better version than what is on offer from the repo!.

As for the AWN settings, see the post install guide and the section about Avant (AWN) (More info about the AWN (Avant Window Manger):

Hi,

for AWN applets, use the following terminal command (Zorin 6 only!):

Code:
sudo apt-get install awn-applets-all


The themes change per your OS settings depending on what themes you are using, see the post install and this bit "Changing AWN themes:".

Right click the panel > Dock Preferences > Themes > Customise and select your settings there. If you want the same colour as your desktop theme, select "Use GTK theme colours":

Let us know if it helps.
