alltray
TLDR
Click-mode: run alltray and click on a window to dock it
SYNOPSIS
alltray [OPTIONS] [APPLICATION]
DESCRIPTION
AllTray docks any application into the system tray, even applications that do not natively support tray icons. This allows you to minimize applications like terminals, email clients, or media players to the system tray instead of the taskbar.
A key feature is that clicking the window's close button minimizes the application to the system tray rather than closing it. This behavior can be changed with the --nominimize option. AllTray works with GNOME, KDE, XFCE 4, Fluxbox, WindowMaker, and other window managers that support the system tray specification.
When run without arguments, AllTray enters click-mode where you can click on any window to dock it. Press c to abort click-mode.

CAVEATS
AllTray depends on the X Window System and standard system tray protocols. It may not work with Wayland-based desktop environments. Some applications with complex window hierarchies may not dock properly. The system tray must be present in your desktop environment for AllTray to function.
HISTORY
AllTray was created by Jochen Baier in 2005 to provide a universal solution for docking applications to the system tray on Linux desktops. It became popular as a way to keep applications running in the background without cluttering the taskbar, especially before many applications added native tray support.
