DESCRIPTION

trayer is a small program designed to provide system tray similar to these in GNOME / KDE desktop environments for window managers which does not support that function. It is similar to other applications such as peksystray and docker.

System tray is a place, where many applications put their icons, so they are always visible. Such icons may present status of an application and allow user to control the program.

trayer’s code was extracted from fbpanel application, you can find more about it on its homepage: http://fbpanel.sourceforge.net/.

−−widthtype request|pixel|percent

Specifies method of calculating trayer’s window width:
request

Follow application icons’ size, so trayer may shrink or expand dynamically.

pixel

Set a fixed size, given with −−width option in pixels.

percent

Set a fixed size, given with −−width option in percentage of a lenght of screen edge.

−−width <size>

Width of trayer’s window. Ignored when −−widthtype is set to request.

−−heighttype request|pixel|percent

Specifies method of calculating trayer’s window height:
request

pixel

Set a fixed size, given with −−height option in pixels.

percent

−−height <size>

Height of trayer’s window. Ignored when −−heighttype is set to request.

−−SetDockType true|false

Identify panel window type as dock.

−−SetPartialStrut true|false

Reserve panel space so that it will not be covered by maximized windows.

−−transparent true|false

Use transparency.

−−alpha <value>

Percentage of transparency (0 − nontransparent, 255 − fully transparent)
