http://linuxexchange.org/questions/821/how-to-avoid-ugly-compizgnome-shadow-for-conky<p>I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome and installed <a href="http://conky.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">Conky</a> recently.</p> <p>It works very well and I really like Conky. One problem exists nonetheless:<br> Compiz or Gnome create a drop shadow to all windows. I like this effect for all windows but not for Conky. Conky has now an ugly shadow that looks like it's not embedded into the desktop.</p> <p>How can I disable this drop-shadow for Conky only?</p> <p>Is it possible to define an exclusion for some applications?</p>enWed, 04 Aug 2010 08:42:18 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/821/how-to-avoid-ugly-compizgnome-shadow-for-conky/1178<p>Just did that as well - the following entry in .conkyrc solved it for me (not having to tweak ccsm):</p> <pre><code>own_window_type override </code></pre> <p>Cheers!</p>AchimWed, 04 Aug 2010 08:42:18 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/821/how-to-avoid-ugly-compizgnome-shadow-for-conky/1178http://linuxexchange.org/questions/821/how-to-avoid-ugly-compizgnome-shadow-for-conky/830<p>I found a solution for myself.<br> You can define an exclusion for windows or window classes.</p> <ol> <li>Open the CompizConfig manager (System --> Settings --> CompizConfig manager).</li> <li>Choose Effects -> Window decoration</li> <li>Set the rule to the following: <code>(any) &amp; !(class=Conky)</code>. It means: decorate <em>any</em> window but <em>not those with class Conky</em>.</li> </ol> <p><img src="http://imgur.com/jOpGX.png" alt="CompizConfig manager"></p> <p>This works for me!</p>guerdaThu, 10 Jun 2010 15:51:59 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/821/how-to-avoid-ugly-compizgnome-shadow-for-conky/830
