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/.

options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included

- Show summary of options and exit.
- --version
- -v
- Show version of program and exit.
- --edge
left|right|top|bottom|none
- Specifies a screen edge to use.
- --align
left|center|right
- Specifies an align of the icons.
- --margin
<size>
- Specifies length of margin (in pixels)
- --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
length 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
- 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.
- --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)
- --tint
<color>

hexadecimal integer, for example: 0xff0000 is red, 0xff8800 is orange and
0x00ff00 is green.
- --distance
<length>
- Specifies distance between trayer's window and screen edge (in pixels)
- --distancefrom
<edge>
- Specifies which edge to calculate distance from, see above.
- --expand
true|false
- Specifies whether trayer may accommodate extra space when there is too
much icons.
- --padding
<size>
- Extra space between icons and trayer window's border.
- --monitor
NUM|STRING
