Volconon's questions

I have been trying so hard to find a way to make conky appear behind all the other windows and folders on my desktop, and as far as I have been able to find no one has found an answer up to this point.

for reference, I have been looking for the solution for most of the day for the last two days!

my operating system is Ubuntu 18.04(bionic beaver), with the gdm3, window manager.

here's the code from my .conkyrc file.

    conky.config = {
    alignment = 'top_right',
    background = false,
    border_inner_margin = 0,
    border_outer_margin = 0,
    border_width = 1,

as you can see I've been experimenting a lot with code from the manual and other feeds from the forums, I have tried changing the "own_window_type" to desktop, override, etc. but haven't found a single solution to my problem.

the main issue is that anything behind the conky window is unclickable, which is hard to understand because the code and forums I have looked at have all said that this is a bug with Ubuntu 18.04 and that the version of conky has a hard time using the override and desktop variables correctly.

please help me find a solution to this and if anything else is wrong with code please inform me of it.XD

thanks in advance!
