With your setting and with Fedora 27, no problems, my conky is transparent.

for 14.04 i use own_window_type = conky but for conky 1.10.8

conky conky: Invalid value 'conky' for setting 'own_window_type'. Valid values are: 'normal', 'dock', 'panel', 'desktop', 'override'. conky: desktop window (a000b2) is subwindow of root window (13d) conky: window type - normal

the same situation with calculate linux 17.12.2 https://i.imgur.com/Bj69tvd.png https://i.imgur.com/8E8F4oI.jpg

conky 1.10.8-r1 openbox 3.6.1-r1 xcompmgr 1.1.7

https://dropmefiles.com/2RfLh this video shows that the conky can be transparent. Something prevents this. I can not figure out what exactly. conky, openbox, xcompmgr, video driver...

@dbriba What DE do you use? Do you use compositing?

[dbriba]

I use KDE with compositing enable.
