hey everybody,
i would like to have conky appear when i move my mouse over it, is there any way to do this?
i love conky but with my current setup it doesn't quite look well with my wallpaper but i don't want to disable it since it has become my primary way to oversee my system.
i understand that this will maybe not be possible but i would really like it.
thanks in advance!

i don't think there is a way of doing that. one solution is to use conkytoggle.sh, which has a key binding both in icewm and fluxbox. and you can disable and enable conky on a key press. to find out what the keys are or change them have a look in /home/user/.fluxbox/keys or /home/user/.icewm/keys
in fluxbox you can use
OnDesktop Mod1 Mouse1 :ExecCommand conkytoggleflux.sh
this will disable/enable conky when you press alt and left click on the desktop. only left click is used to hide fluxbox's root menu. if you mess with the config be sure not to duplicate commands.

i was already afraid that it wouldn't be possible but thanks for giving an alternative.
using my keyboard to enable/disable conky is also comfortable to work with, so it isn't a problem anymore.

thanks for helping!
