Definitely conky [1]... and that's a rather minimal config for it. |

I use a slightly modified version of the triple setup down at the |
| 51 |

As for downloading from customize.org, it doesn't appear to use js at |
| 55 |
all in the download... what's the actual effect when you click one of |
| 56 |
