trayer

trayer [OPTIONS]

trayer is a lightweight GTK-2 based system tray panel. It provides a standalone systray that can be used with minimalist window managers that don't include their own system tray implementation.The panel displays system tray icons from applications and can be positioned and sized according to user preferences.

--edge POSITION

Position panel at left, right, top, bottom, or none (default: bottom)

Align icons: left, center, right, or none (default: center)

Width interpretation: request, pixel, percent, or none (default: percent)

Panel width as a number, interpreted per --widthtype (default: 100)

Height interpretation: request, pixel, percent, or none (default: pixel)

Panel height value (default: 26)

Margin from the screen edge in pixels (default: 0)

Distance between trayer's window and screen edge in pixels (default: 0)

Edge to measure --distance from: top, bottom, left, right (default: top)

Extra pixel spacing between frame and icons (default: 0)

Spacing between icons in pixels

Target monitor by index (0..N) or primary (default: 0)

Enable transparency: true or false (default: false)

Transparency level (0 = opaque, 255 = fully transparent; default: 127)

Background tint as a hex value, e.g. 0xFFFFFFFF

Allow trayer to expand to use extra space (default: true)

Identify panel window as a dock type window (default: true)

Reserve panel space so other windows do not overlap it (default: false)

Requires GTK-2. May not support all modern tray icon features. Transparency requires compositor support. Some window managers may conflict with positioning.

trayer was developed as a standalone system tray for use with tiling and minimal window managers that lack built-in system tray support.
