If there are any spelling or grammatical error in my English, I apologize.Last changelog:
v0.5: Fixed alignment of network icons, network information and other details.
Oh yeah, I'll translate the texts into English.
To remove the background image, in the file .conkyrc delete line 54, which says:
"${image ~/.conky/background.png -s 233x697}"
It's easy, open the file .conkyrc is in your home folder, this file is hidden, to view you must press [ctrl] + [H]
I'm making corrections and adjustments, I hope it can be updated as soon as possible.
Thank you very much for your comment, really is appreciated.

Take a look at how my conky looks..
the HD and network info is all screwed up.
Do I have to change the size of some stuff or something?

Any way we can get this is english? Can we make it transparent without the image? Overall looks nice though.
