Description:
This Conky theme brings the status bars and aesthetic of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to your Linux desktop. It displays key system information in a visually appealing and thematic way, including CPU usage (Health), GPU usage (Magicka), and RAM usage (Stamina), using reversed bars to mimic the in-game draining effect. It also features a Skyrim-style date display.

Features:
Reversed Status Bars: CPU, GPU, and RAM usage are represented by bars that visually "drain" as resources are used, mirroring the health, magicka, and stamina bars in Skyrim.
Skyrim Inspired Colors: Uses red for Health (CPU), cyan/blue for Magicka (GPU), and green for Stamina (RAM), consistent with the game.
Fantasy Font: Utilizes the "Tagesschrift-Regular" font for a thematic, older-style look.
Transparent Background: Designed to blend seamlessly with your desktop wallpaper.
Skyrim Date: Displays the date in the format used within Skyrim, powered by a separate shell script.
Time Display: Shows the current time in HH:MM:SS format.
Dependencies:
Conky: You need to have Conky installed on your system (conky-all package on Debian/Ubuntu-based systems).
nvidia-smi: Required to display GPU usage for NVIDIA graphics cards. If you have a different GPU, you'll need to adjust the configuration accordingly.
Tagesschrift-Regular Font: This font needs to be installed on your system for the theme to display correctly. You can likely find it online through various font repositories. Google fonts has it.
Bash: The skyrim_date.sh script requires a Bash shell.
Installation:
Download the theme archive.
Extract the contents to a location of your choice (e.g., /.conky_skyrim).
Place the conky.config file in your /.conky directory (create it if it doesn't exist):
mkdir -p /.conky
mv /path/to/extracted/conky.config /.conky/
Place the skyrim_date.sh script in your home directory (or another location you prefer) and make it executable:
mv /path/to/extracted/skyrim_date.sh /
chmod +x /.skyrim_date.sh
Ensure the "Tagesschrift-Regular" font is installed on your system.
Running the Theme:
You can run the theme manually using the following command in your terminal:

conky -c /.conky/conky.config & disown

The & disown part ensures that Conky continues to run even after you close the terminal.

Autostart (Optional):
To have Conky start automatically when you log in, you can configure this in your desktop environment's settings. For KDE Plasma on Kubuntu:

Go to System Settings.
Navigate to Startup and Shutdown -> Autostart.
Click Add Program.
Enter conky -c /.conky/conky.config as the application to run.
Click OK.
