Since 9.10, Conky is adding a black border around itself and displaying the wrong part of the wallpaper behind it.

I assume it is grabbing a copy of the wallpaper and THEN shifing by gap_x and gap_y, but this makes it look hideous.

Any solutions?

Try replacing border_margin in your config file with border_inner_margin and border_outer_margin.

I was wondering who has tint2 with Conky in the same space, if they can show me how they have it done. My tint2 puts itself over my Conky. I'm using tint2 on my Eee.

hi, you have to set your conkyrc with
own_window_type override, if not, as wm treat tint2 as a dock, conky will always be displayed with an offset .
i've made some configs with tint2 & conkys (on top, beside, behind...)
take a look : http://arpinux.deviantart.com/art/gr...etup-136945494 , http://arpinux.deviantart.com/art/Gr...etup-134988952 , http://arpinux.deviantart.com/art/co...dara-132137225 , http://arpinux.deviantart.com/art/co...lumn-132119342 & http://arpinux.deviantart.com/art/co...lumn-130250561

hope it helps

[koleoptero]

You could add ${voffset -??} on the last line to bring it back up again.

Thanks for the info. I have packed it all in a single line now. Just the few info I care about: cpu %, mem % and network speed. And the time.

Nice stuff, inspiring too. The conky startup ...

... script made me laugh. You make, having 4 conkies, look like nothing

^^ in fact, it was a test.. i was wondering how light is a "big" conky in front of "plenty of mini".... and the "multi-conky-config" win !!
because you can adjust "update" with the displayed info ( rss,weather,hdd: update 360, temp:update 30, cpu:update 1 ....)
and because "offset" variables are somehow too complicated to use on small conky window ( if you've got too many differents fonts)...

Yeah, I know that the stuff under TEXT has tabs in it but Conky doesn't care and it makes it easier for me to read.

Hope this helps.
