 Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2008 9:00 pm Post subject: [TIP] conky and ROX pinboard |
 |
|
Just wanted to share my experience with conky and rox pinboard, i googled how can I have conky transparent with rox pinboard and all suggested solutions were use feh to set root background and don't use pinboard use idesk... and I like rox pinboard! Than I read that pinboard is in fact one large undecorated window, so I must set same wallpaper for pinboard AND root background. I use this script which I call setwallpaper, i saw this RPC request on rox home page...
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
feh --bg-scale "$1"
rox --RPC << EOF
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope">
<env:Body xmlns="http://rox.sourceforge.net/SOAP/ROX-Filer">
<SetBackdrop>
<Filename>$1</Filename>
<Style>Stretch</Style>
</SetBackdrop>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
EOF |
Now Customize Menu in Rox Filer for jpeg's and png's and drag this script so you have a nice option setwallpaper when you right click on image  For the end put this line in your .xintrc/autostart
feh eval `cat $HOME/.fehbg`
Tadaa.. Conky is transparent  |

I'm really interesting by this tip...
So I use it. Feh the background with the picture but Rox pinboard get the same background and Conky doesn't show. It's still stuck between the original background and the Rox's one.
How that's works for u ?

You should check your .conkyrc and change own_window_type to normal or desktop. I was playing with these options so I can not tell you what I have currently as I am not at home right now. When I was on gnome, override was working perfectly but I think now I set it to normal...
| Code: | # Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window yes
# If own_window is yes, you may use type normal, desktop or override
own_window_type normal
# Use pseudo transparency with own_window?
own_window_transparent yes |
