getting conky transparency to work with different desktops when autostarted
This seems to be a black art, but I wonder if anyone has been able to
get this to work consistently.
The computer is running Debian/Stable on an AMD64 system. It's older
hardware and I've set it up for someone who speaks Arabic. I've included
Plasma 5 because it does the best job with Arabic but also included LXDE
because it works noticeably faster on this system. My goal is to use the
same .conkrc for both desktops.
I got it to autostart on both using .config/autostart/conky.desktop,
which starts conky with the -b -d options.
I'd got conky to work with own_window_transparency = yes when I start it
from bash but the same settings produced a black background on both
Plasma and LXDE when autostarted with the .desktop file.
When I switched to using own_window_argb_value = 0 (and associated other
settings), I got a transparent background in Plasma 5 but not LXDE.
Can anyone offer any advice?
