I want to make compton ignore conky

I'm using dzconky with two files, "conky-left" and "conky-right". When enabling compton there is a shadow seperating the two. Any way to fix this? Thanks.

What have you tried? A search brings up a lot of threads about this...

Moving to NC.

Hello,

In the shadow section of your "compton.conf" file, have you tried this:

shadow-exclude = [
"class_g = 'Conky'"
];

You can see an example configuration file here: https://github.com/chjj/compton/blob/ma … ample.conf

Hello again,

Pehaps "Conky" is not the right name, try something similair. For example with Xterm, I had to write "XTerm" to make it work.

Did you made sure that your "compton.conf" file was reread after the changes, only way I know of is to close X session and startx again. Also, if you have not already done it, make sure your "compton.conf" is loaded with your X session, for example in your ~/.xinitrc - or whatever method you use in your environment.

Regards
Martin

Try using this option in your .conkyrc:

own_window_type override
