I did not know root-tail. Thanks for pointing it out. I always thought
people just did a transparent terminal and then removed all things around
it. And here I thought I knew everything there is to know.(1)
Will look into it, but already looks great. Thanks again.

I was aware of Conky, but perhaps becaus of its fanciness never got a
liking to it.

(1) That last line was sarcasm.
