Use ConkyColors in Ubuntu to easily configure beautiful Conky

Conky is a desktop software on Linux. It displays various system information such as CPU usage, disk capacity, OS version number, calendar, and network conditions on the desktop. It is highly customizable, but the software does not have a GUI. You need to manually configure relevant files, which takes a long time to get started. I always wanted to use it, but I was too lazy to read the document. By chance, a tool named Conky-Colors that simplifies the Conky configuration was found on the gnome-look.org, which worked very well and was easy to do. So I decided to share it.
