Conky in LXDE disappears when minimize all windows

[Aleph]

Hi friends,

I have a flu and I have the time for play with my netbook...

I installed Conky and everything works fine, but when I click on the "minimize all windows" button conky disappears.

Can I modify the "minimize all windows" command and ban windowclass Conky when the minimize all windows button is selected?

Thanks

Hi friends,

No answers maybe no solution....

Somebody is running here LXDE+conky without troubles?

[Just17]

Does conky re-appear when all windows are returned to their former state (unminimised)?

I am using KDE and cannot recall the conky behaviour when I last used LXDE ......

I can't try, I am using a touchpad without middle button, I only can minimize.

[Aleph]

Yes,

I have found the shortcut Super+d (minimize all the windows) and this minimize and maximize conky too!

Look at the .conkyrc file in your home directory. It will likely have a line towards the top of the file, own_window yes. This means that conky is treated as any other window on the desktop. Find a workaround to that, and it will solve your problem. HINT: Change it to own_window no, and it will no longer show on your desktop.

Thanks Leiche,

but I got the same problem with minimize windows.

Code: [Select]

own_window_type override # Try also 'normal' or 'override'
"override" doesn't works.

[AS]

Is this of any help ?

own_window_type
if own_window is yes, you may specify type normal, desktop, dock, panel or override (default: normal). Desktop windows are special windows that have no window decorations; are always visible on your desktop; do not appear in your pager or taskbar; and are sticky across all workspaces. Panel windows reserve space along a desktop edge, just like panels and taskbars, preventing maximized windows from overlapping them. The edge is chosen based on the alignment option. Override windows are not under the control of the window manager. Hints are ignored. This type of window can be useful for certain situations.

Hi As,

change to panel solve "minimize windows", but now conky is not transparent and it is top_left, (and the configuration is top right...)

Very weird.
