Why don't you use freetype2-infinality? I swtiched to Tahoma after seeing this screenshot. With the font patches, the 9pt Tahoma looks way more compact and better for me than Droid Sans 10pt

Configuring conky is a bit of a trial and error game if you ask me. Sometimes during tweaking it appears even broken but after a restart things work the way they should all the sudden.

From what I can tell from your screen shot you may want to review the xft related settings. And for the height the second value of minimum size. Happy tweaking!

@fallen00sniper
To me it looks like you have two instances of conky running, or maybe draw_shades set to yes.

tint2:

~/.config/tint2/tint2rc
...
panel_position = top left horizontal
...

volume: install volumeicon and put it in your autostart.

black glass: I am not sure what you mean

Maybe black glass = transparency?

Probably because "Report" sounds too much like "Reply".
