Good point... Bad choice of words. Should have said "Everybody Understand What I'm Saying" instead...
...Uh... In XFCE? I believe it would be "Session and Startup > Application Autostart" ...But, I have all of mine bound to keys so I can turn Conky off from time to time. So, I can't confirm it...
Ah. That IS Conky then. It's not XFWM doing it. It was a Window Setting.
Now you just have to change your font colour so it's all readable on the light background. And that's easy stuff. ...
Read again. She already fixed that problem. We're on to washed out graphics. This is why I've been saying for her to listen only to mrpeachy or dk75 when I'm not around. We're past these problems...
You've got XFCE4 Compositor running, right? If so, you can disable the argb_visual stuff, and just keep the own_window_transparent yes part.
I've got an almost identical setup weather wise,...
Don't you DARE see yourself as a pest! Through the problem you're having, I actually learned there was a problem between XFCE4.8.1 and Conky 1.8.1! NEVER would have learned that if you hadn't come...
You'll notice at the bottom of each of your posts, at the right side, there are a series of little graphic/buttons. One of them is "Edit", it allows you to go back into the same post and change...
Can you post your code anyways? Just so we can see the state it's currently in? I know it's tedious, but it does help in the long run for us to see everything. You say the Weather section has gone...
I'll shortcut this a bit. I have XFCE4.8.1, Compositing on, and no transparency problem.
I also have Conky 1.9.0-2 installed, where the people in that thread are saying they have 1.8.1 installed....
AHA! You don't have a 3D compositor! You have the XFCE4 Compositor! NOW IT'S EASY!
First: Forget the argb_visuals:
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_type normal
Exactly. And dk75 was addressing that. Hence... She's in good hands. He was on a roll, I was trying to keep it going, since NoTryDo was veering it away. I shouldn't have to explain this.
...
He's referring to the UBUNTU Composite manager. Unity, really, sucks hard. I was not aware it had got to this point, but dk75 is correct. If you're using pretty much any composite manager except...
Square brackets for the Forum, curly braces for Conky code ;)
From what I see, your problem is simple:
#own_window_transparent yes
Should be:
I will add you will have to actually open the .conkyrc file itself in a text editor. AKA the thing you copied the code into in the first place. Not the weather script, the other thing. The file...
^ What he said. You've given us two components, but not a whole picture.
Bad habits these days. No one posting their code in Code Tags, people assuming we "Just Know" the problem? I miss the...
Kinda need a screenshot to see this for myself. I have a theory, but I won't say anything until there's a visual confirmation. I don't want to assume anything.
You're using Conky 1.8.1-6. It has a problem with Gnome-Keyring, and also has this strange tendency to wait until the first interval before running any of the execi commands.
Upgrade to Conky...
Yeah. Those are the ones I remember. That's what I was talking about. Thanks mrpeachy! You confirmed my memory for me! ...Do... Do you want a hug or something? ...I'm okay with it... You do a...
That's not Terrible. I remember mrpeachy working on an interactive launcher bar exactly like that.
Y'know what? I'm seeing a pattern here. You and mrpeachy need to have a long chat on your own...
It'd work remarkably the same. You just have to run one of the Font versions along side whatever script you make for decisions, and read the line out of the data file. Depending on what letter it...
Kinda. It's weird, you say it's "Lost in Translation" and yet you hit it so much closer than the others who actually speak the same language as I do. Chalk THAT one up to you being one of those...
User made LUA scripts are far from the problem here. They, by no means, should stop, and I never said they should. My problem here is, if you'll follow me, that we've seen all the design...
That is certainly awesome. But, I would point out, that's a LUA workaround. And we've seen Conky setups with LUA doing amazing things for quite some time now. It's not really Conky doing that,...
Yeah... Thus enters the only remaining dilemma behind Conky these days. If it can be done, it's been done to death already.
This is, by far, the greatest limitation Conky is putting on the rest...
...Okay... What about it? Is that a solution to the line issue, the alignment issue, or are you just putting it out there for us to look at?
Context is important, davesbrain!
