== Introduction ==

Conky 1.7.2 includes support for the panel window-type, which means that you can make your Conky behave like other panels. Here's what it looks like to replace a top panel with a Conky panel, so that system information is '''always''' on display, even over a maximized window ([http://blog.conky.be/2009/08/31/feature-feature-own_window_type-panel/ read more...])

== The Slit ==

=== Configuring Conky ===

Make sure that your .conkyrc (conky config file) has the followings parameters:

own_window yes
own_window_type panel

Alignment (optional) - Since The Slit (see below) manages the location of the Conky Panel, it won't matter what alignment parameter you'll submit to the .conkyrc file.

''Aligned position on screen, may be top_left, top_right, top_middle, bottom_left, bottom_right, bottom_middle, middle_left, middle_middle, middle_right, or none (also can be abreviated as tl, tr, tm, bl, br, bm, ml, mm, mr). See also gap_x and gap_y.''

[http://conky.sourceforge.net/config_settings.html Conky Settings Configuration]

=== Tuning The Slit (Use one of the ways below) ===

'''''The Slit''' is often confused with the toolbar. The slit is a dock for any application that can be 'dockable'. A docked application is anchored and appears on every workspace. It cannot be moved freely and is not influenced by any manipulation to windows. Typical programs that go into the slit are [http://dockapps.org/ dockapps] or [http://gkrellm.net/ gkrellm]. The latter one is shown in the litte example shot.''

[http://fluxbox.org/features/ fluxbox.org - features]

==== #1 Configure The Slit from the Fluxbox Menu ====

Make sure that your Root-Menu has the Fluxbox Configuration entry (see [[Editing the menu]]):

[config] (label)
Inserts a Fluxbox native submenu item, containing numerous configuration
options concerning window placement, focus style, window moving style,
etc.

The Maximize Over option of The Slit <u>should not</u> be marked:

Fluxbox Configuration > Slit > Maximize Over

If you want the Conky Panel to be at the bottom:

Fluxbox Configuration > Slit > Placement > Bottom Center

If you want the Conky Panel to be at the top:

Fluxbox Configuration > Slit > Placement > Top Center

==== #2 Configure The Slit from the Fluxbox init file ====

You can also edit the Fluxbox init file, which is located at ~/.fluxbox/init

Disable Maximize Over for The Slit:

session.screen0.slit.maxOver: false

If you want the Conky Panel to be on the bottom:

session.screen0.slit.placement: BottomCenter

If you want the Conky Panel to be on the top:

session.screen0.slit.placement: TopCenter

== Reload ==

Reload fluxbox's config (see [[Editing the menu]]):

[reconfig] (label)
When selected this item re-reads the current style and menu files and
applies any changes. This is useful for creating a new style or theme,
as you don't have to constantly restart Fluxbox every time you save your
style. However, Fluxbox automatically rereads the menu whenever it
changes.
