Sorry for my Language.

Thanks for the translation, however someone has already posted a german translation on this thread post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...postcount=1243.

It just hasn't been released yet as I am waiting for more general changes before doing that. I've attached it in case you want to review it...

Maybe I should just release the change

Any ideas how I can remove the shadow from my Conky setup shown in the attachment screenshot?

I take it that you mean the window decoration? I was just wondering about the same thing. I have not used Gnome for a long time, and now that I logged into a Gnome session (instead of my usual Openbox), I find that my Conky window is decorated in spite of the following explicit line in my .conkyrc:

# If own_window is yes, these window manager hints may be used
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

So "own_window_hints undecorated" should remove the shadow decoration (I think), but it does not. On my Gnome desktop, there seem to be also a few other things amiss with Conky at the moment, besides this issue. I used to have "override" as the Conky window type in Gnome/Nautilus, but now I have to use "normal" in order to keep the Conky window below other windows.

This is likely a function of the Compiz window decorations plugin.

Change the Shadow Windows feild to read any, !conky

is there a way to get windows to avoid conky?
i want it to sit under the top panel and windows to maximise to conky, not the panel.
changing own_window_hints "below" to "above" is sort of half there..

ooo, thats quite a problem. Windows are pretty specific as to what they will maximize around. What I would recommend that you do is put a blank panel up at the top or bottom (Wherever you want it) and then make it transparent and then put the conky window under it. You can go into the panels properties and change the panels size accordingly.

@epidemiks:

with openbox it is very easy with the builtin margin-function... but i don't know any way to do that with gnome. maybe the workaround posted by ScottG489 could help

Haha, great solution.

Thanks, that solved it. I had thought it was Compiz in the first place and turns out I was doing the right thing but I had added !conky into the wrong field.

Puttering around, did nothing major. If it's minimalist but usable you want, I think I've nailed it.
