I mean to have conky at the right side of the screen in a place which not covered by other windows, as the i3bar does. I tried it but then the opened windows don't take the free space at the left of conky but open at a bottop space about 100px and is visible a very small area of them. screen example http://s3.postimg.org/68hs5sbwz/scr1.pngThu, 06 Aug 2015 13:48:36 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6392/possible-to-use-conky-as-a-side-panel/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6392/possible-to-use-conky-as-a-side-panel/?answer=6395#post-id-6395No, i3 currently only supports docks on the top or bottom. There's an open ticket for it, however, and we will accept pull requests implementing it. On a similar note, check out this ticket on i3-gaps where someone wants to do the same. I've provided a first draft that makes this setup possible, but haven't yet decided on whether I want to merge it: https://github.com/Airblader/i3/issues/54Thu, 06 Aug 2015 21:36:54 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6392/possible-to-use-conky-as-a-side-panel/?answer=6395#post-id-6395
