Lost System Status Conky? in 16.04

Hi, I upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04, but lost the little system status "thought balloon" in the process. Was this a Conky script, or ??? Is there a way to regain it? Thanks in advance.

Software Not Working After Upgrade

Messaging Applet

As feedback, I'm running Sparky Linux with LXDE on an older Dell X1 laptop. The biggest complaint that I have is the lack of a messaging applet as found in Gnome 3 or Cinnamon. I run Linux Mint with Cinnamon on another laptop, and find myself using the "create a message" functionality almo...
