Hello,

It is a little bit weird firstly i have to ask you some questions.

What is your desktop enviroments ? It seems like Mate or XFCE. If it is XFCE are you saving sessions before you turn off the computer ? Because it seems that conky override itself.

Secondly can you kill all conkies with killall conky then just run the conky from repository with command sh ~/.config/GoogleIntegratedSystemConky/gisc.sh start it seems that your own conky placed itself on Google Keep part of my conky.

Lastly, do you have second monitor ? or did you played with ~/.config/GoogleIntegratedSystemConky/conkyrc because conky didn't start where it suppose to start. And also please let me know what is your screen resolution.

The problem is it starting somewhere not in the screen in ~/.config/GoogleIntegratedSystemConky/conkyrc change

minimum_size 1600 900
maximum_width 1600

with

minimum_size 1366 768
maximum_width 1366

Lastly, change own_window_type normal to own_window_type desktop

You should know that this configuration for 1600*900 screen resolution. So it is normal that it is not resizing how you wish.

getting there xD

mustafaozhan commented 6 years ago

try with own_window_type actually the problem in here not about the GISC it is about desktop environment or window manager because we need to make some conky preferences different when switch the environments. They have different approaches for transparency. You can cheat from you own conky file we need to play with the values

#Window Specification
own_window no
own_window_type normal
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_argb_visual yes

It is not an issue related to the project, it is about conky configuration according to desktop environment and screen resolution also there is no feedback.
