Re: /usr/share/mx-conky-data bloat


I'm personally not really a fan of the Conky Manager and find a simple Text Editor linker app I made is effective enough for my needs... The nature of Conkii is so heavily dependent on User choice and personal customization it's extremely difficult to make a one-size-fits-all solution ...

/usr/share/mx-conky-data bloat

/usr/share/mx-conky-data currently has over 90 themes.
