A good start is http://blog.mmassonnet.info/2011/08/xfc … conky.html
A search on this forum brings up a number of posts on Conky too.

Re: [XFCE] Debian & Conky

I'm not sure what your problem is. You should say clearly what you are trying to do.

If you expect Conky to be transparent do you have compositing turned on? You should also have own_window_argb_visual set to yes.
Also own_window_type should be desktop not override.

Re: [XFCE] Debian & Conky

Is your compositor turned on? (Settings Manager -> Window Manager Tweaks -> Compositor)

Re: [XFCE] Debian & Conky

I don't think the compositor affects it. Here it works (4.8) with or without compositing with

own_window yes
own_window_class Conky
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_type desktop

but I think rocker85 maybe is using something else besides xfdesktop to set the wallpaper. I suggest to use the desktop settings for it. And kill conky and restart it after changing .conkyrc

I get the same effect as rocker85 using his script when I turn off the compositor. With the compositor enabled, I get transparency. (Xubuntu 11.10/xfce 4.8)

Re: [XFCE] Debian & Conky

You can't have transparency if you don't have compositing turned on. Transparency needs 3d.

Re: [XFCE] Debian & Conky

Transparency in Conky has nothing to do with xfwm's compositing. At least not the background transparency.
Remove that own_window_argb_visual line (this has to do with compositing, probably is supposed to give all around transparency, including text and is, I guess, what's messing your conky).
