CPU temp applet for the XFCE panel.

[Moltke]

# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window yes
own_window_argb_visual yes
own_window_type normal 
own_window_hints undecorated,above,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

Choosing "above" instead of below in own_window_hints will make conky always show on top of other windows as long as own_window_type is normal. I forgot my setup is not the same as default.

Hi [member=5916]trinidad[/member]
Thanks for sharing your useful tips, however, I'm using Gkrellm which seems to fit my needs. It shows a small window in which I can keep track on cpu temps behaviour, besides, I ran conky, open a terminal and typed "htop" to compare conky vs gkrellm on resources usage  and the difference is quite a thing; conky uses 3.3% while gkrellm uses 0.7%, so I'm sticking with gkrellm  ;D. Take a look at Gkrellm working https://imgur.com/a/meItl in the image gkrellm is the small window showing temps right above the taskbar
