Ubuntu uses conky to add desktop controls

After learning about Ubuntu, I first wanted to use Windows desktop.

The desktop shortcut is to copy the app startup file under/usr/share/applications/to the desktop;

The following describes how to add a desktop control. I use Conky.

Check the effect. There are actually many other controls, but you need to download them separately:

Installation Method:

First install Conky:

Sudo apt-get install conky-all

Then install the GUI Manager:

Sudo add-apt-repository ppa: teejee2008/ppa

Sudo apt-get update

Sudo apt-get install conky-manager

The page after startup is shown in the figure above.

Select the control to display it on the desktop. You can also set it and edit the script of the control.

The time control shown in the figure above is the script I have modified. It mainly removes Chinese garbled characters and modifies the layout. The modified script is as follows:
