Hello,
since I have upgraded conky, my old configuration isnt working.
I always get a black background, but I want a transparent background.
My conky config file:
conky.config = {
use_xft = true,
font = '123:size=8',
xftalpha = 0.1,
update_interval = 1,
own_window = true,
own_window_type = 'desktop',
own_window_transparent = true,
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,sticky,below,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
double_buffer = true,
alignment = 'top_left',
gap_x = 40,
gap_y = 40,
minimum_width = 250,
minimum_height = 200,
maximum_width = 750,
draw_shades = false,
draw_outline = false,
draw_borders = false,
no_buffers = true,
cpu_avg_samples = 2,
net_avg_samples = 1,
override_utf8_locale = true,
color0 = 'EAEAEA',
color1 = '1793D1',
};
conky.text = [[
${color0}${font GE Inspira:pixelsize=120}${time %H:%M}${font}${voffset -87}${offset 10}${color1}${font GE Inspira:pixelsize=42}${time %d} ${voffset -15}${color0}${font GE Inspira:pixelsize=22}${time %B} ${time %Y}${font}${voffset 28}${font GE Inspira:pixelsize=58}${offset -184}${time %A}${font}
${voffset 6}${offset 12}${font Ubuntu:pixelsize=10}${color1}HD ${offset 9}$color${fs_free /} / ${fs_size /}${offset 30}${color1}RAM ${offset 9}$color$mem / $memmax${offset 30}${color1}WLAN${offset 9}$color${addr wlp12s0}${offset 30}${color1}CPU ${offset 9}$color${cpu cpu0}%
]];
Thanks for help!

I tried your config on my system (xfce as DE), and transparency worked fine. It may be related to your DE.
You could try adding the following in your config:
own_window_transparent = false,
own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_argb_value = 0,

I used the config you suggested before the conky update (Version 1.10.1-2) and it worked well. But since I have upgraded to Version 1.10.2-2, conky haven't started. So other Forums said that in this Version argb_visual and value wont work. So I removed it from my config and it started again!
The bad news: No transparent background
My DE is Gnome.

Well, I thought I might be behind and checked my mirror lists just to be certain, but the latest version of conky for me is conky 1.10.2-1. I've just installed gnome and tried your conky script. I confirm that
own_window_transparent = true
does not work, however
own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_argb_value = 0,
did work in enabling transparency, and it runs OK.

Thank you for your help! Sorry I meant Version 1.10.2-1.
Now I found my mistake. In the past I compile conky from github and I havent removed this version, I have only installed Version 1.10.1-2.
When I updated conky (to Version 1.10.2-1) through the official Arch Repos, conky used some new and old config files. Then I manually remove the old compiled version and reinstalled conky. Now it works fine
