conky theme not showing transparent background [Solved]

[dotw]

The default conky themes show transparent background but the ones i downloaded do not. How do i make them transparent

Can you try changing the own_window_argb_visual to true and adding own_window_argb_value = 0,

Code: Select all

own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_argb_value = 0,

(After saving, change the theme to something else, then select back this one to take effect)

did not find argb value but after changing "argb_ visual" to true it became transparent. However, it does not look exactly like the original theme is supposed to be

The easiest way is to launch Conky Manager, highlight the conky and click the gear icon on the menu bar. It has a "Transparency" tab that will let you easily change values to see if an alternative does it. (Start with the original download, not the one you have altered.)

Please share the configuration file for this conky, so we won't have to guess for possible solutions

sorry for overlooking that you said "adding". I added the line but still it is not exactly like the original one
