Config was converted from old syntax and then modified further.

Saw some suggestions that I attempted to implement from #170 as that seemed a little similar.

Thanks in advance!

First in your conky.config you forget simple quote around
own_window_type = dekstop, and own_window_hints = below,

Normally simple quote are mandatory except for true, false and number. And it's not own_window_type = dekstop but own_window_type = desktop Like this : own_window_type = 'desktop', own_window_hints = 'below',

And for my conky I don't use own_window_type = 'desktop', but own_window_type = 'normal',

own_window = true, own_window_type = 'desktop', own_window_hints = 'below',

fixed the issue... Honestly I think it was the "own_window = true," syntax that did the trick. Previously it was set to "yes".

Thanks for the help!!!!

Only adding this comment here, because this page shows up in DuckDuckGo search

Conky ver. 1.11.6

Debian Bullseye Mate

This worked for me:

own_window_type = 'override',
