Post a screenshot and the config of your Conky

I made some changes to conky. It's still transparent (just like in the first post of the topic), it's just that the background image has a lot of dark in it, that's why conky looks like it's black.

Isn't it obvious what conky is?

Not really... It wasn't until recently. I got my first Linux distro [RedHat] somewhere around 96-97. I didn't hear about conky until the mid or late 2010's. I was mostly shell scripting various things in KSH for the IBM RS6000s that we had. In CSH for the SUN boxes. That said, I didn't pay much attention to the GUI itself. I was too busy being a nerd. LOL From what I've seen of conky so far, it is pretty cool. I'll have to check it out in more detail one of these days.
