Hello.
I just installed conky and when im running it it creates a window that has the size of the screen so i cannot see my background image as also i cannot align conky's window in top_right position. It takes place in the whole screen.
I searched in google on how you can adjust conky's window size but couldn't fix it.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Most people don't display conky as a window in dwm, but use it on the status bar. This is described in the wiki.
If you display conky on your dwm wall, it will be covered when dwm starts its own windows. If you still want to try this, please post your .conkyrc. file.

In dwm I recommend to use conky only the way it's described in the wiki.
Your problem is, that conky is allowed to be a window. Of course your conkyrc would help to tell you exactly what you need to adjust. But as I mentioned above, try this method and see if you like it.
