# Stalonetray

From ArchWiki

Stalonetray is a stand-alone freedesktop.org and KDE system tray for the X Window System. It has full XEMBED support, minimal dependencies and works with virtually any EWMH-compliant window manager. Window managers that are reported to work well with stalonetray are: FVWM, Openbox, Enlightenment, Ion3, Compiz, Xmonad and awesome.

## Installation

Stalonetray is available from the community repository:

    # pacman -S stalonetray

Once installed, copy the `stalonetrayrc` file to your home directory. Note that you should do this as a regular user.

    $ cp /etc/stalonetrayrc ~/.stalonetrayrc

## Configuration

### Openbox

To run stalonetray in Openbox, you need to run:

    # stalonetray --dockapp-mode simple

Alternatively, you can change the line:

    # dockapp-mode none

to

    # dockapp-mode simple

in your `.stalonetrayrc` file. Openbox now treats the tray as the dock, and you can adjust its position by using the Openbox Configuration Tool.

To run Stalonetray on start up, add the following to `~/.config/openbox/autostart`:

    stalonetray &

If the dockapp-mode is not specified in `~/.stalonetrayrc`, add the following instead:

    stalonetray --dockapp-mode simple &
