[Solved] Simple Conky config to view in dzen2.

Hello.
Many peapole here use conky.
I want to start use it on my dzen2 bar.
But I have few problem's.
For now I need conky to viev info about mpd status, and clock nothing else.
I tried  many config's but no luck some viev only dzen2 bar some use default config form /etc/conky and I see it own big window.
Maybe someone use conky to viev it on dzen2 bar without problem's.
Please post your config or tell me what I doing wrong .
Thanks.

Ok now I understand that if I want to conky use my conifg file from my home directory I must write conky -c /path/to/config.
