This section lists various objects you can use in the layout portion of your configuration file. Objects are enclosed in ${...}. For example, to display the amount of disk usage on sdcard you could say, versus the amount of available space: 

        FS: ${fs_used /sdcard} / ${fs_size /sdcard}
You can get more ideas for layouts by looking at the examples.
