[Solved] Cant get Conky to pass through right click with Picom

Hi

I am using Picom as a compositor with Openbox. This means to be able to see Conky, it has to run with

own_window = true

but this option breaks the right click for root menu function in Openbox.

I have googled loads and tried what i think is every option under

own_window_argb_visual
    own_window_argb_value
    own_window_class
    own_window_colour
    own_window_type 
    own_window_hints 

but nothing seems to work.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: [Solved] Cant get Conky to pass through right click with Picom

managed to find a work around specific to me only. I run conky as a panel partially across my desktop with tint2 completing the panel for the remainder of the area across my desktop. I made tint2 take up the whole space of my desktop with free space, and enabled true transparency, and had it sit above conky. So when I right click on what looks like conky, I am actually right clicking on tint2, so my openbox root menu opens.
