Description

       trayer  is  small  program  designed  to  provide  systray  functionality  present in GNOME / KDE desktop
       environments for window managers which doesn't support that function. It's similar to other  applications
       such as peksystray and docker.

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

       You can find  new  versions  of  trayer  and  support  on  FVWM-Crystal  project  homepage:  http://fvwm-crystal.berlios.de/

       trayer-srg  was  forked  from  trayer  in  January 2010 to add some fancy features and clean up code.  It
       contains all changes from above versions as far as known.  Code of trayer-srg can  be  found  on  github:
       http://github.com/sargon/trayer-srg

Examples

       Place trayer to the top right edge of the screen and prevent other fullsize windows to overlay it:

                trayer trayer --edge top --align right --SetDockType true \
                    --SetPartialStrut true --expand true --transparent true

Name

         trayer - a lightweight GTK2-based systray for UNIX desktop

Options

-h,--help
prints help message and exits

-v,--version
prints version and exits

--edge<edge>
Use EDGE for orientation. Possible values for EDGE are left,right,top,bottom or none. The
default value is bottom.--align<alignment>
Orientation of docked icons inside the trayer panel. Possible values are left,center,right, or
none. The default value is center.--margin<size>
Length of margin in pixels. The default value is 0.--distance<length>
Distance between trayer's window and screen edge (in pixels). When set to 0 the option has no
effect. The default value is 0.--distancefrom<edge>
Specifies which edge to calculate distance from, see --edge. The default value is top.
When --distance is 0 this option has no effect.

--widthtyperequest|pixel|percent|none
Determine how width is calculated.

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 length of screen edge.

none

The default value is percent.

--width<size>
Width of a panel. When --widthtype=request this option has no effect. The default value is 100.--heighttyperequest|pixel|percent|none
Determine how height is calculated.

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

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

percent
Set a fixed size, given with --height option in percentage of a length of screen edge.

none

The default value is pixel.

--height<size>
Height of trayer's window. When --heigthtype=request this option has no effect. The default value
is 26.--SetDockTypetrue|false
Identify panel window type as dock. The default value is true.--SetPartialStruttrue|false
Reserve panel space so that it will not be covered by maximized windows. The default value is
false.--transparenttrue|false
Use transparency. The default value is false.--tint<color>
Color used to "tint" transparent background. Color is given as a 24-bit C hexadecimal integer, for
example: 0xff0000 is red, 0xff8800 is orange and 0x00ff00 is green. The default value is
0xFFFFFFFF.--alpha<value>
Percentage of transparency (0 - nontransparent, 255 - fully transparent). value should be a value
between 0 and 255. The default value is 127.--expandtrue|false
Specifies if trayer can accommodate extra space or not. The default value is true.--padding<size>
Number of extra pixel space between trayer's window frame and docked icons. The default value is
0.--monitor<monitor>
Define the monitor on which you like trayer to appear. Number of zero to number of monitors minus
one, or the string "primary" are valid. The default value is 0.
