MAYDAY MAYDAY :P
I really like dzen2 but is impossible to me to understand you to use it!!!!
I install it from ports and is just a blank bar with nothing.Where is the config file?
I want to make it something like this:

Google is not helping :(

There's a README (http://dzen.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/README) and a wiki (http://dzen.geekmode.org/dwiki/doku.php).

the basic usage is running like some_cool_cmd_that_outputs_what_you_need | dzen2 --some-options-about-fonts-and-position in your .xinitrc file. Ready-to-use scripts are here (http://dzen.geekmode.org/dwiki/doku.php?id=dzen:mainindex#scripts).
You just combine & run them like in example.
