Welcome to the SL neighborhood, Drew!!! As for your questions . . . 1) I'm not using it, and 2) maybe Conky? I don't know if Conky is in the SL repos or not. I don't think that there are other (similar) extensions, though. All in all, the GNOME devs didn't want all of those widgets in the top bar (not that I agree with them, per se). Jim
