compton keeps messing up with conky, not showing

[kirk86]

Os: Arch linux GPU, drivers, and screen setup: GTX 1080Ti, nvidia-drivers 390.48, two monitors configured side-by-side

Compton version: 0.1~beta2+20150922-1 from the official repository

Compton configuration: shadow-exclude = [ "window_type *= 'normal' && ! name ~= ''" ]; opacity-rule = ["80:class_g = 'xfce4-terminal'"]; focus-exclude = [ "class_g = 'Conky'" ];

Steps of reproduction

in my system i use xfce +i3 as my wm and on top of that I installed compton because  wanted transparent terminal.

install and enable conky
configure conky to be embed in the desktop not on it's own window
enable compton with the above settings and conky disappears from desktop although it's still running.

Expected behavior

I would expect after installing compton and configuring it to have transparent terminal and everything else to remain unchanged.

Current Behavior & Other details

 Instead even though I get transparent terminal conky disappears from the desktop.
This problem is partially solved by configuring conky to display in it's own window but that's not desirable at least for me since I'm running i3 and this way conky displays inside the terminal window, instead I want it to be as it was before running compton, which was embedded in the desktop without ti's own window.

Please provide a solution to this issue!

Apparently it seems that it was a matter or rearranging the order of the commands in the .conkyrc file the order that worked for me is the following:

own_wnidow yes
own_window_class conky
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_argb_visual yes
own_window_colour 000000
own_window_argb_value 0
own_window_hints undecorate,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below

Thus closing for now this issue.
