There's probably some post here long ago about me preferring Task Manager to Conky because a) it uses less memory, and b) the added task management functions.

Alas, I keep wanting to change Task Manager's appearance. Loading Conky again, the memory differential is not that great, and it looks a lot better.

Setting it up, I couldn't get Conky translucent (the 'pseudo-transparent' default).

Finally I read from the Arch Warriors about the feh command. If you make your background color an image and feh it like:

Code: Select all

sleep 1 && feh --bg-fill /usr/share/backgrounds/[YOUR BACKGROUND].png &

Conky looks like it should.

Afterwards I ran pmcputemp again and it displays properly.

The cause of the invisible tray icon may have something to do with layers of images.
