Wallpaper and Conky WIP,
We recently watched The Matrix again after many years and it made me want to try a wall of CRT monitors idea but not exactly like the wonderfully shot drab greens in The Matrix so I GIMP'd this and then added a monochrome Conky with Terminus(TTF) font in one of the monitors, shown in Enlightenment on AV Linux MX Edition 23:
Interesting! And Good!
Maybe user selected background color? Dark blues, Dark .... and maintaining tonalities?

Thanks all for the comments!
I could do a few variants for sure, right now I have a bit of an issue sharing this because I'm using a 4K monitor with 1.7x scaling so I've had to adjust for this in my wallpaper and conky and sharing it as is would only work on a system with the same resolution and scaling as mine. I need to work up a 1920x1080 version where everything is positioned in it's actual size and that way it should 'just work' on any system with 1920x1080 actual resolution.. .
The Conky can also be used on it's own combined with an optional monitor background sized 640x480:

Not all conky's can be shared unless the user spends time adjusting it to their setup.
Here's a conky I wrote using an image of my motherboard and the conky specs line up with the various components on the motherboard (which is just my background image).
This conky won't work on my current 1440 monitor because I wrote it for my 1080 monitor 2+ years ago.
This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Fluxbox is useless. Without my Fluxbox, I am useless.

Thanks. That was back when I was learning how to write conky's and it taught me how to work with positive and negative offset values.
Another conky value I learned (because of this one) was " own_window_type = 'override', " so that I could still bring up fluxbox's menu anywhere on the desktop.
Otherwise I had to click outside of the conky to get the menu to show.
