CONKY-colors
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Now it's easy to customize your desktop!
Conky is a free, light-weight system monitor for X, that displays any information on your desktop.
CONKY-colors is an easier way to configure Conky.
This conky script support multilanguage:
Bulgarian, English, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Ukrainian
How to install
Go to a terminal and type:
$sudo apt-get install aptitude python-statgrab python-keyring ttf-ubuntu-font-family hddtemp curl lm-sensors conky-all
$sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp || https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75639
$sudo sensors-detect #answering Yes (default) to all questions, even that last one that defaults to No
Now restart your session
Download and extract the conky-colors.zip and type in terminal in the same directory that has been extracted.
$make
$sudo make install
$conky-colors {options}
$conky-colors --help [for help]
Ex: if your cpu is quad-core and you want the noble color, with hd, network and pidgin monitor and all in portuguese
conky-colors --theme=gnome-noble --lang=pt --cpu=4 --network --hd=default --pidgin
For a working photo widget you need to specify a file or directory in conkyPhoto or conkyPhotoRandom script in ~/.conkycolors/bin/
Update your font cache:
$sudo fc-cache -v -f

that's all folks!
OPTIONS FROM THE SCREENSHOT:
conky-colors --cpu=2 --calendar --photord --clementine=cd --hd=default --network --theme=wise
conky-colors --sls --weather=brxx0043 --theme=orange
conky-colors --cairo --cpu=2 --clock=cairo --network --theme=blue
conky-colors --ring --network --theme=red
conky-colors --slim --w=1440 --h=900 --theme=white --weather=brxx0043
conky-colors --board --w=1440 --h=900 --theme=cyan
KWON PROBLEMS:
Lua/bash scripts work with conky 1.8.1, but most of the python scripts still doesnt;
SLS MODE only work with lm-sensors configured
The position of the photo and cover may be wrong bc in ubuntu the space between the widgets is different from Archlinux (I'm an arch user now)

When I wrote your code, my conky run :) thank you very much.
But now I have a new problem, http://i1101.hizliresim.com/2011/1/27/1030.png . When I add a new part, I'm not see, all of parts.
Ex: I added Rhytmbox, but I'm not see after the Network part,
Sorry, my english is relly poor :(((

I'm using board version, and i've noticed that when icons on desktop are under conky they're not visible.
I've tried to set - from gconf - nautilus to not show desktop, but this way conky is always above any window.
Is there any way to solve? Many thx in advance!
