[SOLVED] compton and conky issue

Hi!
I'm having an issue while using compton -i 0.8 (inactive window transparency) and conky: it seems conky is marked as inactive, so, even if i don't want a trasparent conky, it is.
So, here is my conkyrc : http://pastie.org/7940192 .
I already tried "own_window_type desktop", and even if it works, i had to drop it, because as soon as i clicked my desktop, conky would disappear. (I'm using spacefm to manage my desktop, in a opebox session).

Thanks!

Well it seems i had to read man compton carefully. Compton accepts "--focus-exclude" to avoid unfocusing windows, so i could set conky window as always focused.

Thanks brother.

You could also put the following in your ~/.compton.conf if using the config file.

focus-exclude = ["n:a:Conky"];

[n]ame [a]nywhere in the Title of Window.
