That thread has absolutely tons of useful conky info, might be helpful.

If you mean above other windows
Change these settings in your conky

own_window_type normal
own_window_hints undecorated,above,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

I just saved a new theme code and it works but now the desktop icons disappear until you hover over them..
I deleted the start up code... I would like it to start up but need correct command...
and this icon thing sucks...

Post your conky config.

The default config that came with conky is found in /etc/conky/conky.conf
If you have no ~/.conkyrc , running the command conky will load /etc/conky/conky.conf

You can run any conky conf with the command conky -c /path/to your/conky
