Solved Conky's transparency options don't work

[Voltaire]

Normally you can make Conky transparent. I've tried just about every option normally used.
But the transparency options that should work have no effect.
I also searched for the transparency options via the 'man conky' command, but I couldn't find anything useful.

Is there anyone in the FreeBSD community who currently has a transparent Conky in Xfce (with the latest version of the app)?

This works on Wayland,

own_window = true,
own_window_transparent = false,
own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_argb_value = 90,
own_window_type = 'desktop'

I'm using X server. Your settings work and it becomes transparent.

The only problem I have with your settings is that Conky disappears when I click the mouse on the desktop.
I had solved this before by using own_window_type = 'override',

If I use 'override' instead of 'desktop' in combination with your other settings, the transparency no longer works.

X11:

own_window = true,
own_window_class = 'Conky',
own_window_type = 'override',
own_window_transparent = true,
own_windiw_argb_visual = true,
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below',

Thank you. This worked for me:

own_window = true, own_window_transparent = false, own_window_argb_visual = true, own_window_argb_value = 90, own_window_type = 'desktop', own_window_hints = 'undecorated,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below',
