Once you launch Conky using the Switcher, it downgrades my live wallpaper to this new look, which isn't my preferred layout or colors. It also doesn't refresh at a rate I like for a wallpaper.

I have an idea. Why not have this app actually read a different .conf file based on what we need? My live wallpaper is perfect, so I don't want whatever .conf file it reads from v1.6.1 change, but I'd like a few custom views/layouts for specific use cases. Say a process view, a faster refreshing CPU/RAM view, a storage view, and a network monitor view OF MY CHOICE.

Is there currently a way I could keep my old 1.6.1 layout for the main Conky button in Switcher, and use other .conf layouts for CPU, Network, Disk, and Process views.

Also, why can't Conky have cool analog looking gauges like a car's instrument cluster? Like a cool HUD for our N900.
You can make analog guages with lua and cairo, we won't stop you! It would be hard as hell though.
