[SOLVED]Conky & Compiz-Fusion WM problem...

Hi!

I just wanted to add conky to my compiz desktop. But whenever conky is started the screen doesn't refresh properly. For example when using Scale every window leaves trails as they move. These trails only leave when i stop conky. Maybe somebody here can help me...

Here is my conkyrc:

background yes
use_xft yes
xftfont Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:size=9
xftalpha 0.8
update_interval 1.0
total_run_times 0
own_window yes
own_window_type normal
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_colour black
own_window_hints undecorated,skip_pager,skip_taskbar
double_buffer yes
minimum_size 260 5
draw_shades no
draw_outline no
draw_borders no
draw_graph_borders no
stippled_borders 0
border_margin 4
border_width 0
default_color white
default_shade_color black
default_outline_color black
alignment top_left
gap_x 12
gap_y 12
no_buffers yes
uppercase no
cpu_avg_samples 1
net_avg_samples 1
override_utf8_locale no
use_spacer yes
mpd_host localhost
mpd_portPort 6060
#mpd_password

Re: [SOLVED]Conky & Compiz-Fusion WM problem...

Did you follow this instructions ? Which version do you use ? Can it work with an earlier version ? Can it work with a livecd ?

Re: [SOLVED]Conky & Compiz-Fusion WM problem...

Your conky config works fine with my compiz.

Did you try if it works at a lower screen resolution?

(I think I remember something like compiz and conky both sort of rendering to offscreen and that space being somewhat limited... graphics card and stuff... yes, I know, I got no idea what I'm talking about, but theoretically it could work )

Re: [SOLVED]Conky & Compiz-Fusion WM problem...

It was working fine with my gnome setup and compiz, but not with compiz standalone But i found a solution. I've set own_window_type to desktop and added the conky window to stay below in the Window Rules of Compiz. Now it stays below and the wndow trails are gone.
