I recently changed my Fluxbox and Conky configuration after one year. The old setting had Conky on the left and maximized window wouldn't cover it, I had a special key to do such maximization. The toolbar of Fluxbox had only windowlist and an iconbar.

I had been feeling I wanted windows to be able to truly maximize to use whole area. So, I began to decide what to do. I had thought of making an emergency notification. Tracking CPU utilization or memory usage, when resources goes too low, it sends a notification. I discarded such thought because it took too much effort. I also thought about a slide-in method, press a key, then Conky window comes from one of the edges, but didn't have a way to make it happen.

In the end, I added a clock on the left of toolbar and rearranged Conky layout. I adopted the new alignment middle_middle from Conky 1.8, so it would be rendered in the center of screen. When I need to check my system I press Mod4+D to hide windows, then again to bring windows back. Since it's not be seen always, I increased the update interval to six seconds (10 times every minute).

Now it shows three-month calendar, everything is reallocated and more information has been added. I also highlight some of those number which I read most often, so I could quickly find them.
