\nWindows 8 Metro Style Conky Theme Installation:<\/strong>
\n1. Let’s first install Conky on Ubuntu using this command:<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get install conky-all<\/pre>\n
2. Via the terminal, create a hidden conky folder in your home folder using this command:<\/p>\n
mkdir ~\/.conky<\/pre>\n
3. Access it now with this command:<\/p>\n
cd ~\/.conky<\/pre>\n
3. Inside this hidden folder (.conky), we need to download the conky theme and unzip it there:<\/p>\n
wget http:\/\/www.deviantart.com\/download\/260230653\/\nmetro_style_conky_by_kant_o-d4axn99.zip<\/pre>\n
unzip metro_style*.zip<\/pre>\n
4. Run now these two commands to make the conky.sh and mail.sh files executable:<\/p>\n
chmod +x conky.sh\nchmod +x mail.sh<\/pre>\n
5. Edit now the mail.sh file and enter your Gmail account details (username and password) using this command:<\/p>\n
sudo gedit mail.sh<\/pre>\n
