I recently switched from Gnome/Metacity to Gnome/Openbox and one unpleasant change accompanied this - suddenly conky windows had borders around them.

Conky configuration for one piece of the setup:
Code:

border_width      0
background      no
update_interval      1.0
double_buffer      yes

use_xft         yes
xftfont         Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:size=9
xftalpha      0.8

own_window      yes
own_window_transparent   yes
own_window_type      override
own_window_hints   undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
#on_bottom      yes

minimum_size      400 100
draw_shades      no
draw_outline      yes
draw_borders      yes
draw_graph_borders   no
stippled_borders   0
border_width      0

default_color      white
default_shade_color   black
default_outline_color   black

alignment      bottom_left
gap_x         20
gap_y         180

no_buffers      yes

TEXT
${color #0066FF}Folding@Home
${color #F09000}${hr}
${color}${tail /opt/foldingathome/FAHlog.txt 4}

Any ideas what I could change (preferably I would like to toggle some Openbox option to avoid this rather than modify conky configuration, but whatever it takes is fine)?

Drop "own_window_type override", I don't have that. Though this override should cause openbox to ignore the window, but maybe in some screwed up way it prevents openbox from honoring the own_window_hints settings.

Neither suggestion worked.
EDIT: The latter one did work. Stupid me added the draw_borders as the first option and it got overwritten later. Thanks.

Here is the reset of my .conkyrc. This is just a clock, but it does not draw borders around the clock.


Code:

use_xft yes
#xftfont AvantGarde LT Medium-7
# Update interval in seconds
update_interval 60
# This is the number of times Conky will update before quitting.
# Set to zero to run forever.
total_run_times 0
# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window  yes
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_type desktop
own_window_hints undecorate,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

# Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)
double_buffer yes
# Minimum size of text area
#minimum_size 50 14
#maximum_width 50
# Draw shades?
draw_shades no
# Draw outlines?
draw_outline no
# Draw borders around text
draw_borders no
# Stippled borders?
stippled_borders 0
# border margins
border_margin 6
# border width
border_width 1
# Default colors and also border colors
default_color 8a8a8a
own_window_colour 0a0a0a
# Text alignment, other possible values are commented
#alignment top_middle
alignment bottom_right
# Gap between borders of screen and text
# same thing as passing -x at command line
gap_x 0
gap_y 26
# Subtract file system buffers from used memory?
no_buffers yes
# set to yes if you want all text to be in uppercase
uppercase no
# number of cpu samples to average
# set to 1 to disable averaging
cpu_avg_samples 2
# number of net samples to average
# set to 1 to disable averaging
#net_avg_samples 2
# Force UTF8? note that UTF8 support required XFT
override_utf8_locale yes
# Add spaces to keep things from moving about?  This only affects certain objects.
use_spacer none
#${font Bitstream Vera Sans:size=10}$alignr cpu:  ${color FCFCFC}${cpu}${color}%    |   ${color}mem:  ${color DCD5C0}$memperc${color}%    |    bat:  ${color FCFCFC}${battery_percent}%
TEXT
