Linux – Simple and Short
With both wayland and X11 in mainstream, its pretty easy to forget if you are running in Wayland or in X11. To check this here are the commands:
loginctl list-sessions # The above command will show you all the sessions. Note the session number for your session loginctl show-session <session number> -p Type
On Fedora with Gnome-shell 3, its been long time that I was not able to get transparent window. So, finally I thought to spend some time to try to fix that. Finally got that fixed with all the configurations below in the conkyrc. Here the default color is set to LightSkyBlue but feel free to change that.
I hope this helps fedora community who is struggling to get transparent window. And here is the code :
own_window_transparent yes own_window_class Conky own_window_argb_visual yes own_window_argb_value 0 own_window_type normal own_window_colour LightSkyBlue own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
If you ever wondered what combination of some colors would look like but did not really feel like setting them in your xterm just to check them out. Or if you wanted to know about all the colors on you X window system then you can install this utility called xcolorsel.
You will need to setup the rpm-shere repo for this.
Using this tool is very intuitive, just select the color and then press set as foreground/background to check how the color combination would look.
