This is my Conky configuration. It's based on the Metro style from MS and requires a font (Segoe UI Light), included.
Make sure and extract conky_res.zip to your ~/.config directory.
If the battery status doesn't work make sure and do a chmod a+x ~/.config/conky/batt.sh
This should fix up any basic problems.
segoe UI and its friends are included in segoe.zip
have fun!
