Conky on all workspaces?

#1 Post by WetGeek »

I like Conky quite a lot, but when I toggle it on, it appears only on the current workspace. Is there some way to get it to apply to ALL workspaces at the same time, as one can with backgrounds?

MX Conky gives that option.

Thanks! Knowing that the option is available, I went looking, and found the setting. Until now, I hadn't had any reason to explore the MX Tools menu. Most things have worked just fine upon installation.

Hmm. I was trying to do that very thing earlier today and couldn't find anything in Conky Manager. Any pointers as to where I can turn this feature on? Is Conky Manager the wrong place to look then? Thanks.

Or: open the script itself and delete the word "sticky"

Great! Found it - I presumed the referred to 'MX Conky' in post #2 was Conky itself not a separate app for tweaking it. In fact, I never realised there were so many 'MX' apps: Boot Options, Clean Up, Snapshot, Menu Editor - a veritable feast :-)
