One more thing: I had to add 'own_window_hints below' to get it to work with Unity.
How about the following changes to the default config (/etc/conky/conky.conf) as a starting point for a config that works okay out of the box on Natty? 1) Change alignment to bottom_right from top_left so we aren't hidden by the panel, launcher or desktop icons. 2) Change own_window_type to override from desktop, because the latter option only shows conky until the desktop is clicked. Also add 'own_window_hints below' -- without it, conky is drawn on top of all windows. (This doesn't happen in classic desktop, by the way.) 3) Maybe also enable transparency by default? It looks nicer, blending into the desktop. This one could be a matter of opinion. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537499 Title: Conky hides itself behind nautilus desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/conky/+bug/537499/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
