You need to change this part of .conkyrc from
# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window no
to
# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window yes
own_window_type normal
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
####### Also line breaks like this will cause formatting problems ###
${color #98c2c7}RAM:$color $memperc% ${color
#78af78}${membar 6}${color}
Better:
${color #98c2c7}RAM:$color $memperc% ${color #78af78}${membar 6} |

I've got some questions regarding notHerbert options.
I've tried them but the problem was that fonts didn't refresh, they were drawn one over another. Turning double_buffer on helped, but then the background was black, and I couldn't set it to transparent or to any other color. Is there a way to get window somehow transparent? |
