# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window yes
own_window_argb_visual yes
own_window_type normal 
own_window_hints undecorated,above,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

Choosing "above" instead of below in own_window_hints will make conky always show on top of other windows as long as own_window_type is normal. I forgot my setup is not the same as default.

Hi [member=5916]trinidad[/member]
Thanks for sharing your useful tips, however, I'm using Gkrellm which seems to fit my needs. It shows a small window in which I can keep track on cpu temps behaviour, besides, I ran conky, open a terminal and typed "htop" to compare conky vs gkrellm on resources usage  and the difference is quite a thing; conky uses 3.3% while gkrellm uses 0.7%, so I'm sticking with gkrellm  ;D. Take a look at Gkrellm working https://imgur.com/a/meItl in the image gkrellm is the small window showing temps right above the taskbar Wink

You're almost there, click the "Mostrar" checkbox in the xfce-sensor preferences for the wanted sensors. They will show in the taskbar.
BTW, mine show 100c because I'm in a Virtual Machine. :-P

Cheers!
Didn't work. I checked "Mostrar" and close the window but it shows nothing. I have to open the window in order to see temps values Sad

Hi [member=6733]TheDead[/member] 

I finally made it!  ;D It took me quite a while but hey, better late than never lol. You were right all the time, I just couldn't get it cause I didn't undestand/know how to customize XFCE panel by then, and now that I do feel a little bit like a fool actually since it was so easy; install xfce4-sensors-plugin> right-click on the panel and select "add a new item" > select sensors plugin applet > right-click on the new sensors applet and select properties > check show boxes for sensors you want it to show > select font size and unselect show title, voila! Check it out!

However, it does take some space in my already populated panel so now I don't know if keep it or not. :Smile Tongue
Well, I can finally mark this thread as solved. Thank you all for the time and help Smile
