[SOLVED]Lose Conky window shadows...

I have Xfce set to display shadows under windows, which looks great until I run Conky.  Any tips on how I can get rid of Conky's shadow and keep the rest?

Re: [SOLVED]Lose Conky window shadows...

You most likely can solve this with the correct combination of the own_window and own_window_type parameters in your .conkyrc file. While I don't use XFCE I believe this problem is the same under most compositors. Try the following to solve the problem:

own_window yes
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_type desktop

If this doesn't work, you might try using "override" for the own_window_type.

Good luck,

Perfect.  That actually wound up solving an additional problem for me.  Any time I clicked in Conky's window it moved to the top of the stack.  Doesn't do that anymore.  Thanks!
