EDIT : i saw this in your code

# Set conky on the bottom of all other applications
on_bottom yes

but i've never seen that anywhere else before so maybe change that to either no or

#on_bottom yes

first and see what happens

nope tried both #on_bottom no then put yes but if i change this

 # Use Xft?
use_xft no

to yes i lose the 2 graph bars
