Conky config SOLVED

Post by all41 »

Rebecca Mate.

I set up conky using Conky Manager. When using the "hide all windows and show the desktop" icon in the taskbar it also hides my conky
widgets. It has been suggested that there may be a configuration setting that would keep the conky widgets visible.
I have been able to edit the /home/.conky configuration files to customize the fonts, colors, etc for each widget individually--
but need suggestions for editing to keep the widgets on the desktop.

Edit: this turned out to be rather simple--changed the Conky Manager's default config file line <own_window_type normal>
to <own_window_type dock>
