I have a host computer (Dell Optiplex 7020, 32GB ram, BionicPup64) running Fossapup64 in a virtualbox. Both the host and guest have the same version of conky and the identical conkyrc files. Both also run compton. The resulting conky display is the same on both OS's EXCEPT the background is transparent in the virtualbox and opaque black on the host.
hi @WoodLark ,
fossapup uses true transparency for conky whereas bionicpup uses fake transparency which sometimes doesn't work.
try resetting the wallpaper as this can spark it to life.
Changing the wallpaper didn't help, but at least I now know the cause. Thanks for the explanation!
check that your conkyrc has these lines in bionicpup
Code: Select all
own_window yes
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_type override
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager666philb wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:08 pmcheck that your conkyrc has these lines in bionicpup

own_window_type was set to "desktop". I changed it to "override", but still no change. Thanks for trying.
