Don't thank me, all I did was scour the web and find it; however after looking at it closely I can see where someone (besides me) messed with it in GIMP (or Photoshop). The imperfections kinda ruined it for me once I saw them.

The one below seems virtually untouched and a sports a different color scheme...



Does anyone know "what" or "who" this is a picture of? The first one to correctly name it gets the imaginary grand prize of 100 Conky points. I know now; and I am rather surprised that I like it anyway.

I'm back on Ubuntu (14.04 and still beta at the moment), and it's killing Mint in performance on my machine. I get ~2 more hours of battery life, and temps run about 5 to 10°C lower.

I'll post my new Conky, once it's "completed" again. Now running into new Conky background issues that I didn't have in Ubuntu 12.04; if it ain't one thing, its another

Well, I guess that's 100 Conky Points!

Point taken...

I didn't figure it would take too long before someone got it.

Congratulations!!!

Went back to my usual Ubuntu background...



I'm only able to use "override" window type in Ubuntu 14.04, so I have to have to set own_window_colour to black to reasonably match my background.

"Normal" window type displays Conky over any open application which is annoyingly unusable. "Desktop" window type disappears anytime I click on the desktop. So any suggestions how I might get a transparent background now?

My configuration settings are currently set as...

#conky performance settings
  update_interval 1
  total_run_times 0
  cpu_avg_samples 4
  no_buffers yes 
  double_buffer yes
  override_utf8_locale yes

#overall position of conky window

  gap_x 32
  gap_y 0
  minimum_size 185 200
  maximum_width 185


#overall appearance of window

  own_window_type override
  own_window_transparent yes
  own_window_hints undecorated,above,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

Yes, I know most of the own_window settings are disregarded with "override" option.

Hi Petro Dawg,
Looking at your config in own_window_hints you have "above" set.
own_window_type normal uses these hints while
own_window_type override ignores these hints.

own_window_type normal
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
own_window_transparent no
own_window_argb_visual yes
own_window_argb_value 150

should work fine to set a degree of transparency.

When own_window_transparent is set to yes the window is always fully transparent no matter the own_window_argb_value.
