label $time - time in long format. For example, fri Nov 6 04:48:01 2013
label $uptime - uptime, ---d--h--m
label $cpu - total load cpu, %
label $ccpu - load CPU for each core, %
label $cpucl - average cpu clock, MHz
label $ccpucl - cpu clock for each core, MHz
label $temp - average temperature in system
label $gpu - GPU usage, %. aticonfig or nvidia-smi must be installed
label $gputemp - GPU temperature. aticonfig or nvidia-smi must be installed
label $mem - usage memory, %
label $memmb - usage memory, MB
label $swap - swap, %
label $swapmb - swap, MB
label @@/@@ (in hdd label) - mount point (/ in example) usage, %. Separator for mount points list is ;, for example @@/;/home;/mnt/global@@
label @@/dev/sda@@ (in hddtemp label) - HDD (/dev/sda in example) temperature. hddtemp must be installed
label $net - download and upload speed, KB/s. You may specify network device: something like @@eth0@@
label $netdev - current network device
label $bat - battery charge, %. Battery device may be set below. File (/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/capacity by default) must contain only battery charge in percent
label $ac - status AC device. Return (*) if AC device is online or ( ) if offline. AC device may be set below. FIle (/sys/class/power_supply/AC/online by default) must contain 1 if AC is online
label $artist - current song artist. One of supported music players must be installed
label $title - current song title. One of supported music players must be installed

Label order will changed if you change slider position. HTML tags in label work normally.

NOTE you don't may set to show $cpu in swap label for example. $cpu will work only in cpu label.
