Conky window height problem [Solved]

I like to have a conky bar above my windows in openbox , first i did this with transparancy but now i wanted to put a color as background. Now i have the problem that the height of conky is too big, look at the screenshot
http://omploader.org/vMWZleA

I tried to set the maxium_width and minumum_size but that didnt help. took some one's conky config but that didnt work either. Here is my conkyrc

# Conky
#
#
own_window yes
own_window_type override #desktop = no decor, on desktop, no pager/t.bar, sticky across all wspaces | override = not under wm ctrl.
own_window_transparent no
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
own_window_colour 333333

# Use double buffering (reduce flicker)
double_buffer yes

# Font, spacing
use_spacer left #Adds spaces around certain objects to stop them from moving other things around. (left, right, and none. monofonts only.)
use_xft yes
# xftfont bauhaust:pixelsize=10
xftfont M+ 1mn:pixelsize=10
draw_outline no # amplify text?
draw_borders no
uppercase no

# Update interval in seconds
update_interval 1.0

# Minimum size of text area
minimum_size 2560 

# Maximum Width
maximum_width 2560

# Draw shades?
draw_shades no

# Stippled borders?
#stippled_borders 3

# border margins
border_margin 18
border_width 0

# Gaps around Conky
gap_x 0
gap_y 0


# Text alignment
# may be top_left, top_right, top_middle, bottom_left, bottom_right, bottom_middle, middle_left, middle_right, or none (also can be abreviated as tl, tr, tm, bl, br, bm, ml, mr) 
alignment top


# Couleurs
default_color  868686







TEXT
${color #1793D1}$nodename@${color white}$kernel($machine) ${color #1793D1} | CPU:$color $cpu%@${color white}$freq MHz ${color #1793D1} | RAM:$color $memperc% ${color #1793D1} | SWAP: ${color white}$swapperc% ${color #1793D1} | Root: ${color white}${fs_used_perc /} %  ${color #1793D1} | HOME ${color white}${fs_used_perc /home} % ${color #1793D1} | NAS ${color white}${fs_used_perc /mnt/nas} % ${color #1793D1} | NETWORK: $color${downspeed eth0}k/s D ${color white}- $color${upspeed eth0}k/s U  ${color #1793D1} | MAIL: ${color white}${texeci 60 perl ~/scripts/conky/gmail.pl n} ${color #1793D1} | UPDATES: ${color white}${execi 300 perl ~/scripts/conky/arch-updates/conky-updates.pl} ${if_running mpd}${color #1793D1} | ${mpd_status}  -  ${color white}${mpd_smart}${color} ${mpd_elapsed}/${mpd_length}${endif}  ${color #1793D1} | DATE: ${color white}${time %H:%M  %A %d %B}

Try border_marin 0 and comment minimum_size and maximum_width
You might consider changing own_window_type to desktop

What happens if you remove everything after TEXT?
If that reduces the height, try re-adding the different variables until you find the one stretching out the window.

If removing them doesn't change anything,, well... um... *scratches head and waits for someone else to reply*.

*edit*
In no one comes up with a solution, reset it to transparency then use gimp or imagemagick to edit a copy of your background image
