Yeah, that's Conky. There are a zillion forms that exist already, and you can create your own.

To get started, I recommend you install conky-manager2, or however it is named in your distro, b/c it gives you an easy way to go through a large number of templates that you can modify for your own purposes (which is what I did for the one above).
