Hi.
When I hit the show desktop button, it also minimises conky. Is there a way to prevent this?
Thanks.

Re: Show desktop button also minimises conky.
I believe it's the "minimise all windows" button, @male.
And this effect on a particular conky depends on the option used in that conky's own_window_type setting in the config text file .
Was it "normal" or "desktop"?
I think "normal" might make the conky behave like any other window, which is why it also gets minimised, while "desktop" will make the conky part of the desktop.
But I'm not sure that this is a consistent effect. It might also be interdependent on other conky config settings or maybe compositing as well. I'm not so sure.

That's right, asqwerth.
It is up to the window manager used. This can sometimes be very tricky with antiX. Especially because the user must at least log off and log on again after corresponding configuration changes.

But first he would have to check if the Conky continues to run in the background.
And, we're talking about conky1.9!

Oops, I didn't notice this was in the antiX subforum!
Thought we were referring to MX and XFCE.

Hi male. Sorry, it's Space-IceWM and also the other IceWM ones. Sometimes conky does not get minimised. If I change wm then conky get's minimised again.

@asqwerth,
it is generally valid.
@Raymzap,
I was able to recreate the behavior you described.
The error is indicated by the option/variable
fixed. "Override" means Conky is not controlled by the window manager.
Open ~/.conkyrc and enter the above variable in the window section:

Perfect. I just had to also select Space-IceWM again and it works fine. Thank you. :-)male wrote: ↑Wed Aug 08, 2018 8:54 am @asqwerth,
