16.04 Conky Issues

[Abdul_Hakim]

Hello everyone,

I recently upgraded to 16.04 and I'm having some issues with Conky widgets.

The first issue I'm having is most of them keep appearing in their own windows, rather than appearing as a desktop skin/widget like they're supposed to.

Example here:

I was able to fix this with the LSD widget by adding the following lines:

own_window_class conky
own_window yes
own_window_type desktop

However when I make sure these lines are on the Seamod widget, the widget disappears as soon as I click on the Desktop or launcher. I found these threads that address this, but then this causes the same issue as before where Seamod appears in it's own window instead of appearing like a desktop widget.

So what parameters do I need set in my Conky widgets to ensure that they don't appear in their own windows, and they remain on the desktop after clicking on other things?

Wait I think I figured it out

own_window_hints undecorated,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below

it said "undecorate" instead of "undecorated"
