This is a (very) simple conky config file, to use with amarok (music section) and
lm-sensors (status section)

It is my second attempt to make my KDE desktop look a bit lighter than with plasmoids,
without having to sacrifice some use{ful / less} info about my PC.

You _must_ take a look at both the conky.kwinrule file and the Monochrome_simple one.
You _must_ modify the conky.kwinrule file so that it fits _your_ very machine. I already
put comments in it.
Change the relevant links in the Monochrome_simple to point the good files -I hope you
know how to do it ;)
Then, modify the ${goto xXxXx} with the relevant values -perhaps you'll need some
experimentation to get the right number of pixels.

After you did that, go to systemsettings -> Window Behavior -> Window rule -> Import
and select the conky.kwinrule file.
Finaly, ask krunner to "conky -c /path/to/the/Monochrome_simple".
You're done!

BTW, if someone ever finds out how to get conky:
 -> stay at the background, but not under the plasma desktop
 -> let me click through it (scrolling included)
 -> let me see through
in an easier way than mine, please _share_, thanks!

BTW, if someone finds out how not to have to call the

$alignr${exec (nowPlaying="$(qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.GetMetadata 2>/dev/null)" && echo [ "$(echo "$nowPlaying" | sed -ne 's/^title: \(.*\)$/\1/p')")} ] --+
$alignr |
$alignr${exec (nowPlaying="$(qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.GetMetadata 2>/dev/null)" && echo [ "$(echo "${nowPlaying}" | sed -ne 's/^artist: \(.*\)$/\1/p')" ])} --+
${alignr} |
$alignr${exec (nowPlaying="$(qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.GetMetadata 2>/dev/null)" && echo [ "$(echo "${nowPlaying}" | sed -ne 's/^album: \(.*\)$/\1/p')" ])} --+

so many times, please let me know.

An other cool thing to add would be : display lyrics if there are some. But, well I do
not know bash scripting well enough to get them from the "$nowPlaying" variable.

Eventually, enjoy!
