Conky background always black

Hello, it's my first topic and my english is very bad then sorry for any mistake.
I update my Arch today and after this my Conky background is always black, not matter what i do. If a disable double buffer i can change the color but the flickering is terrible.
Follow my connky.config:

alignment = 'top_right',
background = true,
cpu_avg_samples = 2,
default_color = '#4E4E4E',
default_outline_color = 'blue',
default_shade_color = '#ff0000',
draw_graph_borders = true,
draw_outline = false,
draw_shades = false,

draw_borders = true,
border_width = 2,
border_inner_margin = 10,
border_outer_margin = 0.5,

use_xft = true,
font = 'DejaVu Sans Mono:size=12',
gap_x = 60,
gap_y = 60,
minimum_height = 5,
minimum_width = 5,
net_avg_samples = 2,
no_buffers = false,

double_buffer = true,

out_to_console = false,
out_to_stderr = false,
extra_newline = false,

own_window = true,
own_window_class = 'Conky',
own_window_type = 'desktop',
own_window_transparent = false,
own_window_colour = '#ff0000',

stippled_borders = 0,
update_interval = 0.5,
uppercase = false,
use_spacer = 'none',
show_graph_scale = false,
show_graph_range = false

My Conky version is 1.10.0-5. Anyone knows what is the problem?

Re: Conky background always black

Have you updated your conky.config to be compatible with the new configuration format introduced in 1.10 yet?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: Conky background always black

man conky

own_window_colour colour
              If own_window_transparent no, set a specified background colour (defaults to black). Takes either a hex value (e.g. ffffff, note the lack of '#') or a valid RGB name  (see
              /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt)
