Conky harmattan is surrounded by the previews wallpaper

Question

This is an amazing eye-candy but I'm facing a problem. I installed it in my Ubuntu 13.10 64b but Conky is surrounded by a a black box, but it's not a black box at all is the previews wallpaper I had setup. If I change the WP then the 'black' box changes for a copy of the previews WP. is someone else having this problem?. I'm using Unity

Are you using Unity or another shell? – Travis G. Jan 28 '14 at 21:22 — Travis G., Jan 28 '14 at 21:22

I just solved this in Gnome Shell 3.08 by using the tweak tool, section Desktop, and activating the allow nautilus to manage the desktop option. Maybe the same works with Unity, with unity-tweak-tool or similar, I haven't tested it.

Yep, this works in Gnome, but unity-tweak-tool doesn't have that option. – BenjaminRH Feb 04 '14 at 09:33

Please try the following:

First, try adding

own_window no

But ff you already have

own_window yes

turn it to

own_window no

If this does not work, then add (or turn own_window_argb_visual no to)

own_window_argb_visual yes

Conky should restart itself automatically after every change you do int the conkyrc file, and it will let you see if it worked.
