Images in conky

So playing around in conky and managed to put an image into it with not too much hassle.

I tried putting a transparent png image in but it would not show? Are there any special requirements for such?

excerpt from conkyrc:

${image ~/Pictures/flame.jpeg -p 40,320 -s 128x128}

Re: Images in conky

Hi, Steve! I've no problems with conky displaying png images.
Which version of conky do you currently have installed? Maybe it has something to do with the compositor

On the other hand, I see you are displaying a jpeg image rather than a png image.

Thanks ututo, i should have mentioned that jpeg was working as in my example.

Png seems to be working now, i think it was the directory i had the png image in, so i changed directory and it worked.
Now have Bunsenlabs flame penguin inside the conky shortcuts - Now to try and change him to a similar green as the text.

I dont take any credit for this image im sure some clever bunsenlabs member made this one, i found it on google image search here: BLPenguin

I cut the penguin out of that.

Here is the modified png image, hope the creator doesnt mind, if not i will take it down.

I will give you permission to use that image. And if the creator gives you trouble, let me know!!
