Everything that you see in my conky setup comes with a default install
of conky, except for the weather forecast. For that you have to
download a script and a font set from the ubuntu forums. The
maintainer is relatively active and keeps updating regularly.

To make this work you need to register with some weather service. I
have a free registration with weather.com

I prefer my conky display translucent and on the top right. The
configs are pretty easy to understand.

Some docs:
+ for the colour codes refer to <file:///usr/share/X11/rgb.txt>
+ for time formats `man strftime'
+ for conky feature set refer <http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html>
+ for conky configuration options refer to 
<http://conky.sourceforge.net/config_settings.html>

Feel free to contact me if you have any other queries, enjoy fiddling
around. ;)
