i love my conky config, but i have one small problem with it, the conky window covers up any icons that are under it(since its in its own window), but when i have own_windows off, none of my desktop icons appear at all. anyone know how i can fix this?
I love these trees that people are doing with conky. But of course, now that mind is double buffering, I'm afraid to change it.
With all the new options, I think that I'm going to back up and retire my old conky as posted and play around for a bit. I've been inspired.

You can use any font as long as it's mono (monochrome), so the columns will be aligned.Code:${font DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=12} ${execi 300 cal | awk 'NR>1' | sed -e 's/ / /g' -e 's/[^ ] /& /g' -e 's/..*/ & /' -e 's/ \('`date | awk '{print $3}'`'\) /\['`date | awk '{print $3}'`'\]/'}
I'm a conky noob (and I'm not ashamed to admit it). I've got a config that I like (mostly stolen from this post), but cannot figure out how to get the pseudo-transparency enabled. I've looked at several transparent conkys in this thread, and tried all of the own_window* settings that they were using. I just keep getting a solid black background. I just checked the "no wallpaper" background color for my desktop, and it is eggshell blue, so it's not coming from there.
Any common beginner mistakes that could account for this?

Just the standard .conkyrc file from the HOWTO , trimmed down because I only want a basic output, ...& I changed the colors to match the Mint Desktop..

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to reduce the load Conky puts on the system?
I know it's already a light application, but when you're running a Pentium w/MMX at 233MHz and you have 128 MB Ram (max), every iota counts! I currently have Fluxbuntu installed.
I'm basically looking for it to
- show me CPU and RAM usage, battery charge/status and maybe network (only wired or modem available, no wireless on this thing)
- I think I've seen a calendar piece somewhere but I can't remember if it was Conky or something else, but that would be nice.
- I like being able to see the Top activity, and applications running but I understand that is a significant hit so I'll hold off for now.
Also, the fewer hits on the hard drive, the longer the battery should last (theoretically).

Here follows mine, very minimal.
Even tweaking xorg.conf with the Load "dbe" and activating double_buffer here, I still get flickering. Any other tips?
Also, how do i set up conkyrc to start automatically? I added it to System > Preferences > Sessions, but no good.Conky: failed to set up double buffer
