I'm using plank with auto-hide , but like the panel on the left. I'll Have to try that in dock mode so it expands as needed.

Solarmass I know and the best part is that i have no problems at all on this notebook to connect to wifi & bluetooth

uhhmeeyell its just conky and a 100% transparent top bar. i think i did a bit of a howto that u may find if u scroll up quite a few months

Default Solus Blue version of Plata & Papirus look so good, I increasingly find myself not wanting to use anything else, not even for fun on weekends anymore. A lot of users are in the same boat. The Solus boat. With the sail. That was a small idiomatic pun. Very small.

Thus, just the Bibata cursor and Papirus folder colors here. Rainy Day anime background by catzz. Because if baby WOGUE is subjectively right about anything, it's that GNOME and anime are soul mates for some reason.

    JohannPopper you inspired me to pick some different folder icons. nice, never done that before 😁

    for anyone wondering: an easy way is to open /usr/share/icons (in my case /usr/share/icons/Papirus/64x64/places), open the properties window for the file/folder you want to change, and drag an icon across to the icon button 🙂

      Justin i find it difficult to see from that pic what you are trying to do. is the problem that your conky config isnt transparent and doesent blend in because of that, or that you want your entire 'panel' to look like the blackish colour youve got there instead of the dark blue we see on each side of the conky?

        I think even if the y gap is set to zero conky won't sit on top of the panel. The window type options might make a difference I tested with mine just to see if I could get it to overlap the panel.

        gap_x = 25,
        	gap_y = 0,
        	maximum_width = 250,
        	double_buffer = true,
        	override_utf8_locale = true,
            own_window = true,
            own_window_class = 'Conky',
            own_window_type = 'normal',
        	own_window_transparent = true,

        Lucien_Lachance I'm trying to get Conky to blend with the panel as you have. My config (mostly stock from default config):

        conky.config = {
            alignment = 'top_left',
            background = false,
            border_width = 0,
            cpu_avg_samples = 2,
            default_color = 'white',

            default_shade_color = 'white',
            double_buffer = true,
            draw_borders = false,
            draw_graph_borders = true,
            draw_outline = false,

            extra_newline = false,
            font = 'source code pro black:style=Bold:size=9',
            gap_x = 550,
            gap_y = 4,
            minimum_height = 5,
            minimum_width = 5,

            own_window_class = 'Conky',
            own_window_type = 'desktop',
            show_graph_range = false,
            show_graph_scale = false,
            stippled_borders = 0,
            update_interval = 2.5,
            uppercase = false,
            use_spacer = 'none',
            use_xft = true,
        }
        
        conky.text = [[
        CPU: $cpu% | RAM $mem | SSD ${fs_used_perc /}%
        ]]

          Justin how about you try something like this
          you gotta edit the minimum and maximum width to match your resolution
          and minimum_height to match that of the gnome/budgie panel
          and own_window_argb_value to change the transparency
          (this is provided your using a transparent budgie or gnome panel)
