MX-Full transparency broken

[THN1]

I'm using conky's MX-KoO's MX-Full and notice that since an unknown time and event the transparency of the applet is not working anymore. I used to have it configured with "Transparency Type" equal to Semi-Transparent and 50% Opacity (background = black) which used to produce a semi-translucent applet (desktop wallpaper visible at 50%). This is no longer the case (wallpaper fully hidden by the applet). The OS is MX Linux.

Have you tried just using Conky Manager, highlight this conky on the list and click the gear (settings) icon? There is a "Transparency" tab that gives you 4 different choices and allows you quickly to determine if there is an easy fix.

Yes, I am using conky manager to configure the app. None of the different transparency modes creates any transparency effect. I know this had been working OK in the past, but is broken now since some time.
