Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

No, I got you the first time. I just... feel so damned stupid... I wrote about using that true transparency thing for the VinDSL HowTo. I just... never made the connection between what I was writing and the Compiz Compositor Pseudo-Transparency problem. In the next few minutes I'm going and editing that section of the HowTo to remind myself for the future.

Take note everyone else. I officially admit I was an idiot.

Nope.
I'm using Compiz and if true transparency is on then not only background is transparent but a Conky text inside is too.
And I had no problem with original Stalhein config at all.

But then I'm not using Ubuntu/Unity and I have always newest beta nVidia driver, so there is nothings obvious in Conky world...

Hi all.
I've got a small conky file that I've been testing on a system in my office. It is running on a RedHat system using Gnome desktop.

I've recently installed conky and the config file on a different system using the exact same OS setup only slightly different hardware.

The script works fine, but if I left click the desktop the conky display just blinks out of existence even though it is still running in the process list.

Here is the .conkyrc file:

own_window yes
own_window_type desktop
own_window_transparent yes
double_buffer yes
use_spacer none
update_interval 1
draw_shades no
maximum_width 200
minimum_size 300
use_xft yes
draw_outline no
draw_borders no
draw_graph_borders yes
uppercase no
default_color grey
#font Sans Serif:size=8
font Monospace:size=8
alignment top_right
gap_x 10
gap_y 20

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

own_window_type desktop

to

own_window_type override

[Friqenstein]

I've tried that already. Still the same effect.

try normal

Well, when I loaded up the .conkyrc file in vi, I saw that my last edit didn't actually save... must have been a case of fast fingers.
override actually did the trick.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Much appreciated.

is it possible to get syntax highlighting for conky rc's?

i googled something about it being available for vim, so i downloaded Gvim but nothing doing. found an old script that should be doing that for vim but can't get it to work.

but honestly gedit would be better...
