Solved conky background

Hi!

I swithed to 99.99% :) to x11-wm/openbox and I try to setup sysutils/conky for transparent background but it doesn't work. I use a sample from the /usr/local/share/examples/conky but if I use "true" or "false' for the background it show the same on the desktop. I am using feh for the wallpaper and tint2.

Thank you.
 
I' am not really clear what you mean. I think ysou want a transparent conky window. I use
background = false,
and
own_window_transparent = true,
 
background = yes,
own_window = true,
own_window_class = 'Conky',
own_window_type = 'override',
own_window_transparent = true,
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below',

Thank you for the answers. I am using Minbari's suggestion and it work. I need just change colours.
 
It no so easy as I thought. I like to change white colours to light brown and gray to brown but it shows me just a two first lines.
