Too complex, to change it only in conky?

Conky grabs the information from your system settings.

I too wanted an identifier for BunsenLabs.  I added this line at the top of the code below "TEXT" to provide both the distribution name, and the time at the top of the conky on my monitor.

${color2}${font DejaVu Sans:size=13}Bunsen Labs${color2}  |   ${color2}${alignr}${font DejaVu Sans:size=13}${time %I:%M}

The color code and font size should be changed to whatever you use.
