conky trouble

[achtyl]

So I have spent about two hours working on getting conky to work 100% correctly and i am pretty close to where I started.
Things i want to fix
conky disapears when I click the go to desktop button. How can I make it stay.
conky turns white (fixed already)

I think only you need is put this line code on your file ->


own_window_type override

[grumblebum2]

When using own_window_type override
disable argb transparency...

own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorate,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below
#own_window_argb_visual yes
#own_window_argb_value 0
Override windows are not under the control of the window manager....own_window_hints are ignored.

OR

you could use...

own_window yes
own_window_type normal
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorate,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below
own_window_argb_visual yes
own_window_argb_value 0
Normal windows are under the control of the window manager.
So you need to use ccsm to disable shadow to the conky window

and also stop the conky window from being minimized when you show the desktop.

That seams to have fixed it. I tried changing it to override and conky became black. So I used normal with making the settings change in compizConfig.
