It's transparent(real/true transparent). Openbox margins keeps the full screen out of it. 

But I sometimes drag consoles and other small windows under the conky. This way I don't forgot them when I work on a full screen window. The problem is conky blocks my clicks; when I drag something to there, I can still see it, but I cannot drag it back.
I want my conky to be on top, just like "own_window_type panel"; but I also want it to not to interfere with my clicks, just like "own_window_type desktop". Am I wanting too much?

I don't know whether something like that is possible in Openbox but you can always move windows with "Alt + Leftmouse" or "Alt + space" -> M and move with the arrow keys.

Re: Conky is blocking my click

went through the whole conky docs, my eyes started to hurt, in case anybody else wonders about this; it is no possible. But it might be done with the help of an another software, maybe...

It may be too late, but if you're still using Openbox, I just saw this other thread that might help you:

I use the "easystroke" mouse gesturing tool with a defined gesture for the Ctrl+Menu button and can roll up the main menu anywhere or anytime.
