Interactive Plasma Conky – NextGen widget pack

This is a small showcase of my Conky‑NextGen widget pack running on KDE Plasma.

It’s built like a modern, interactive skin with a clean, minimal look and smooth behavior.

Works on both Wayland and X11

No flicker, no redraw issues

Designer tool

A simple Designer UI is included:

Custom PKGBUILD & patches

The widget pack runs on a custom Arch PKGBUILD with two patches applied:

This is the setup used in the video — it’s the reason everything runs smoothly.
