-Quentin Sculo has developed a patch for conky (version for conky-1.5.1 is available [[http://squentin.free.fr/gmusicbrowser/tmp/conky_gmb.patch5_1.5.1.gz|here]]) to display the gmusicbrowser playing information into conky. 
-If you're using the [[http://squentin.free.fr/gmusicbrowser/devel.html|latest development version]], use [[http://squentin.free.fr/gmusicbrowser/tmp/conky_gmb.patch5_1.5.1_new.gz|this patch instead]] 
  
-After downloading the patch, create the conkypatch directory into your /home : 
-<code>mkdir conkypatch</code> 
-and move the patch you have just downloaded into it : 
-<code> mv downloaddirectory/conky-1.5.1_gmb.patch.gz conkypatch</code> 
  
-to make the future operations easier.+======Without the patch====== 
 +loomsen has posted on the ubuntu forum a method to display the info in conky without patching it. 
 +see [[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5967407#post5967407|this post]]
  
 +The advantage of this method is that it works with the current conky versions (1.6 and future versions)
  
 +The disadvantage is that it needs to run a small program for each update, so it's a bit less cpu-friendly.
  
  
 +======With the patch======
 +Quentin Sculo has developed a patch for conky (version for conky-1.5.1 is available [[http://gmusicbrowser.org/files/conky_gmb.patch5_1.5.1_new.gz|here]]) to display the gmusicbrowser playing information into conky.
  
-======Download and patch conky======+//Sadly, this patch requires a lot of modification for using it with conky version 1.6 and higher. So currently you'll have to use the method above without the patch.//

 For those who have just discovered conky, you must know that configuring conky means editing the conky configuration file which is a hidden file in your /home ; to edit that file, in a terminal, do : <code>gedit /home/login/.conkyrc</code> replacing "login" by your own login and "gedit" by the command of the text editor of your choice. For those who have just discovered conky, you must know that configuring conky means editing the conky configuration file which is a hidden file in your /home ; to edit that file, in a terminal, do : <code>gedit /home/login/.conkyrc</code> replacing "login" by your own login and "gedit" by the command of the text editor of your choice.
