I've an old but still semi-decent card for CF (ati xpress200m 128 meg).. But I went back to not using CF :). Will try out ur suggestions if and when I decide to use CF again..And yeah, just checked out the screenshot.. it definitely looks cool and is surely better in terms of being less distractive..

Desktop art is a matter of taste. Some people didn't like yours, but I did and I'd like to thank you for taking the time to post this. People can take what you've done and your suggestions and sources and configure theirs to suit themselves. The details and updates are nice, I'm busy and now I have them all in one place and don't have to search all over for them. I prefer purple, blue and orange but your green theme is one of the nicest I've seen. Yes, please publish the conkyrc file. Thank you Shantanu,
