I've been fiddling with the border / colour options, for the last few hours, and I just can't get the border to disappear, which is starting to make me think that best I can do is make the border be a gradient like my background, unfortunately, I can't seem to get that to work

This works for me:

# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
background no #Transparent background

The key was the

own_window_type override

After tweaking the gap between the screen edge and Conky, it works perfect. Thanks for the help jason
