Hello here is a screenshot when i select (with mouse) the conky's window on my desktop
http://imageshack.com/a/img543/9457/t33a.jpg
As you can see the size of the window is bigger than needed and i want to change it. I played with maximum_width and maximum_size in conkyrc but without any luck.
Here is some of the config code in conkyrc
# Conky settings #
background yes
update_interval 1
double_buffer yes
no_buffers yes
imlib_cache_size 10
# Window specifications #
gap_x 1600
gap_y 120
minimum_size 260
maximum_width 260
own_window yes
own_window_type dock # other options are: override/normal/desktop/panel
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorate,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below
border_inner_margin 0
border_outer_margin 0
#alignment middle_middle
#own_window_argb_visual yes
#own_window_argb_value 0
# Graphics settings #
draw_shades no
default_shade_color AAAAAA
draw_outline no
default_outline_color AAAAAA
draw_borders no
draw_graph_borders no
default_graph_size 26 80
show_graph_scale no
show_graph_range no
# Text settings #

text_buffer_size 256
override_utf8_locale yes
# Useful shortenings #

pad_percents 2
top_name_width 7
# Color scheme #
default_color 3A3A3A
color1 3A3A3A
color2 3A3A3A
color3 FFFFFF
color4 D56D6D
color5 6DB9D5
color6 888888Any idea on how to make that background smaller ?
Thank you.

specify both width and height in minimum_size
minimum_size 260 100 and also make sure there are no trailing lines in the TEXT part.
See if that helps.

Hmm what are trailing lines ? Here is the rest of the conkyrc.

trailing llines as in blank lines at the end. They do not show anything but conky still reads them as text and increases the window size. I do not think that is the issue here.
But with all the ${voffset } used, it is difficult to pinpoint if anything is causing it in the TEXT section.

I think I read somewhere that conky calculates the vertical size of the window from the number of lines in the TEXT section. Even if you use ${voffset}s to move some things back closer to the top it does not reduce the vertical size of the window.
It has occurred to me that maybe if I put more things on the same line in the TEXT section together with some ${goto}s and positive ${vofset}s to force things back to the left and to a new line it might reduce the vertical size but I haven’t actually tried that yet.
Might make the config file a challenge to read though.
[Edit] See my conky.conf below with all items that overlap on the same line also on the same line in the conky config. I also used \ to stop conky from increasing the height of the window for the blank lines. Could have used \ to split some of the concatenated lines but I sort of like the way the config looks now. Not as difficult to read as I thought it would be and it does shorten the conky window considerably. I still have maybe just two extra lines after the last item that I haven't been able to track down.
