[Bug]: Conky doesn't flush buffers after drawing(?) with own_window_argb_visual and own_window_transparent on Wayland

[Timarrr]

What happened?

Plasma 6.0 RC2 does this:

Sway doesn't launch these properly, doing the tiling thing, and i'm too lazy to set the windowrules up
Niri makes every thread "eat" a core and not even displays any windows

Version

conky 1.19.6_pre compiled 2023-12-22 for Linux x86_64

Which OS/distro are you seeing the problem on?

Arch Linux

own_window_argb_visual should be true by default and ignored on Wayland as per spec, argb8888 should be supported by all renderers.

[Caellian]

@Timarrr Do you mind explaining a bit better what's wrong? Both configs you provided are identical and you claim one works while the other doesn't.

Sway doesn't launch these properly, doing the tiling thing, and i'm too lazy to set the windowrules up
Niri makes every thread "eat" a core and not even displays any windows

Your description and image only tells me that "these" aren't working, but I don't know what "these" are...

set_transparent = false,
background_colour = "#222244",
own_window_argb_value = 128,

should give a transparent background. As I previously stated own_window_argb_visual is ignored (all wayland WMs are expected to support argb8888 format afaik).

[Caellian]

Can you give it a try with the latest main branch? There have been a couple of changes that deal with how screen is cleared on Wayland (#2105, #2127), so it's possible this has been fixed.
