Hello, I have two conkys that are started from i3 config. Right now, the conkys are placed on my first screen, how can I place them on my second screen? I assigned workspaces 1-5 to first screen and 6-10 to second screen (the one I want to have my conkys placed)
You can assign any application or specific window to a certain workspace. Use xprop to get class-name, instance and title for your program.
assign [class="Conky" title="whatever"] workspace 1
I highly recommend to use variable names for your workspaces to reduce typos. You can see an examle on my github
Since you stated in a comment that you’re specifying own_window_type override in your conkyrc, you’ll need to fix this within conky, or with a third-party tool that influences the conky window, perhaps xdotool.
The reason is that the override hint entirely bypasses the window manager, i3 literally must not (and will not) manage that window :).
