Could you describe the problem you're seeing, or link to the discussion on the main site?
I've been mad busy for the last week, but will take a look if I know where the issue lies.

Here. Cheers.

I installed Cruncheee on my netbook last weekend and I love it. Much more streamlined than Ubuntueee - uses half the ram and just generally faster.

Yeah I agree, defo faster. Conky is a great app that comes pre-installed. Here's my desktop....

Heh..... You'll need to make an account over on www.weather.com and follow how to do that in the thread above as you need some sort of code or something. My config is this:

# set to yes if you want Conky to be forked in the background
background yes

# Use Xft?
use_xft yes
xftfont DejaVu Sans:size=8
xftalpha 0.8
text_buffer_size 2048

# Xft font when Xft is enabled
xftfont Sans:size=7

# Text alpha when using Xft
xftalpha 1

# Update interval in seconds
update_interval 1.0

# This is the number of times Conky will update before quitting.
# Set to zero to run forever.
total_run_times 0

own_window yes
own_window_transparent yes
#own_window_type override
own_window_type desktop
#own_window_type normal #use this if you want a nice shadow to appear around conky

# If own_window is yes, these window manager hints may be used
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

# Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)
double_buffer yes

# Minimum size of text area
minimum_size 200 200

# Maximum width
maximum_width 240

# Draw shades?
draw_shades yes

# Draw outlines?
draw_outline no

# Draw borders around text
draw_borders no

# Draw borders around graphs
draw_graph_borders no

# Stippled borders?
# stippled_borders 8

# border margins
# border_margin 2

# border width
# border_width 1

# Default colors and also border colors
default_color white
default_shade_color black
default_outline_color white

# Text alignment, other possible values are commented
#alignment top_left
alignment top_right
#alignment bottom_left
#alignment bottom_right
#alignment none

# Gap between borders of screen and text
# same thing as passing -x at command line
gap_x 12
gap_y 12

# Subtract file system buffers from used memory?
no_buffers yes

# set to yes if you want all text to be in uppercase
uppercase no

# number of cpu samples to average
# set to 1 to disable averaging
cpu_avg_samples 2

# Force UTF8? note that UTF8 support required XFT
override_utf8_locale yes

I have it set up to start after 10-12 seconds. It allows wifi to kick in so it picks up the weather info. If you don't you'll just have to restart conky which would be a pain every time you login. I'm not sure if it would that or long on LAN so just see what happens. If you need the alternative fonts just let me know and I'll put them up here. The location "EIXX0014" is Dublin (ftw btw) ) but you can find alterntive cities on www.weather.com.

Edit: also, my res is 1024*600 so people with desktops will be able to fit a lot more functions into their conky.
