[SOLVED] Update messes with Conky background
Posted: Wed May 04, 2011 8:18 am
First restart after update shows default wallpaper under Conky, not the currently selected wallpaper. Something to do with the new workspaces implementation?

this solution works for xfce-mint, I executeYou install new KDE-4.5 and conky’s background seems to be different then you real wallpaper? You lost transparency effect.
Everything what you need to know and do is using cmd program feh which should be able to redraw your current wallpaper for conky.
The best idea is write script like this one:
feh --bg-scale "`grep 'wallpaper=' ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc | tail --bytes=+11`"
After execute it conky should automatically update background for right one. Unfortunately you need to run is every time when you change wallpaper.
UPDATE:
You need emerge an application: media-gfx/feh. I spotted that it works only for :
>media-gfx/feh-19
Code: Select all
feh --bg-center ~/mywallpaper.jpg
Code: Select all
