[edit] How to use SysStats
There is no installer for SysStats, just unzip it to the proper location and that's pretty much it.
Installing:
- Quit all copies of AveDesk, ObjectDock, YzDock, RKLauncher etc.
- Unzip directly into your ObjectDock/AveDesk/YZDock/RKLauncher folder. Make sure you replace *all* copies of SysStats - i.e. if you use SysStats with AveDesk and ObjectDock - replace both copies.
- Restart ObjectDock/AveDesk etc. [1]

[edit] Adding configs to your desktop
SysStats doesn't come with any pre-packaged configs in order to keep the download small. Just download some widgets and install them. Many of the newer widgets for AveDesk come as a renamed zip file in the .aveinst format, and all you should have to do it double-click it to install. If not, just unzip the file into the docklets\sysstats folder.
To add the widget in AveDesk, open the control panel, click on Desklets, click Add, and select the config from the SysStats menu. It should then appear on your desktop. To add a widget to your dock, add a new SysStats config and a blue question mark should appear, right click and then select the config.
