| # Use "own_window_type panel" for transparent background # | |
| # # | |
| # "own_window_type override" doesn't work with transparent background # | |
| # Conky always have a black background. # | |
| # # | |
| # "own_window_type panel" work as panel when you start, it have egdes etc. But # | |
| # if you change conkyrc, conky loses "panel" condition and start working like # | |
| # "own_window_override" minimizing windows doesn't affect Conky's window. # | |
| # It always stays on Desktop as transparent # | |
| #------------------------------------------------------------------------------# | |
| #-----------------------------------USAGE--------------------------------------# | |
| # 0) Change own_window_type xxxx to own_window_type panel in your conkyrc # | |
| # # | |
| # 1)Create a copy of your conkyrc file and rename it as conkyrc.change under # | |
| # the same directory of your conkyrc. # | |
| # # | |
| # 2)Save this script under the same directory of conkyrc use conky.sh or # | |
| # whatever you want to rename this script then # | |
| # # | |
| # 3) chmod +x scriptname.sh # | |
| # 4) $ ./scriptname.sh # | |
