NikNak

A dockable bar that shows you often used information like time, day, date, CPU and memory usage, disk space and internet data speed.

You also have access to a calendar that has the useful feature of showing how may days until or since any date. You can easily set up QuickStart buttons on NikNak to start your favorite programs saving screen space. The dockable bar can be docked on any edge and can also be set to autohide - so it can visible only when you need it.
