If you want to have a clock or clocks, add one or more of the following four lines to ~/.xinitrc.
exec /usr/local/bin/xclock -digital -strftime "Vancouver: %a %d %b %H:%M:%S" \
-update 1 -face mono:size=10 -bg "#002020" -fg "red" -geometry -0-2 &
exec env TZ=Europe/Belgrade xclock -digital -strftime \
"Belgrade: %a %d %b %H:%M" -face mono:size=10 -bg "#002020" -fg "gold" \
-geometry -256-2 &
exec env TZ=UTC /usr/local/bin/xclock -digital -strftime \
'UTC: %a %d %b %H:%M' -face mono:size=10 -bg '#002020' -fg '#f6eabe' \
-geometry -480-2 &
exec env TZ=GMT /usr/local/bin/xclock -digital -strftime \
'GMT: %a %d %b %H:%M' -face mono:size=10 -bg '#002020' -fg '#aaaaaa' \
-geometry -664-2 &
If you want to have xload, you first need to install it (with sudo pkg install xload), and after that add this line to ~/.xinitrc:
exec xload -bg steelblue -fg '#001013' -nolabel -geometry 224x33-840-2 &
Start X with:
% exec startx
or:
% exec xinit
