Ultra-compact

This Conky config is:

  • Far from being beautiful.
  • Ultra-compact by using both left and righ-alinment to cram as much info into one line.
  • Grows organically larger due to bunches of IF statements:
    • Shows the number of updates to install if the number of updates > 1.
    • Shows WiFi, LAN speed (or both if both are active or none if in air plane mode).
    • Shows which mount points are mounted, what their size, utilisation, activity is.
  • Uses the Manjaro theme colours.
  • etc.
