Fluxbox tray

ironwalker · 05-01-2007, 03:44 PM

I need to send stuff to tray but unlike IceWM Flux doesnt have this option via right click.
Is there an alternative other than the silt.
I just want a tray,a simple tray like what Alltray was,before the repository site died due to what looks like a lack of funding.
Any other good 3rd party stuff for flux?

Also,how do I keep maximised Iceweasle browser from going under the toolbar and make it stay just ontop of the toolbar....not over it either?

Nevermind,I found alltray is in debian repos,didn't know this.
Any other options still would be appreciated,thanks.

Anyway of getting all tray command to give up my terminal after executeing the command without it takeing the tray icon withit...lol?

Like a --fork option,sort of.
I can do root-tail in terminal,it starts and frees up the terminal for further work without closeing root-tail.I want the same in alltray or its useless to me,who the hell wants a terminal showing or minimised for this to work.

Bah.

I guess I dont need a tray and icons,I can just navaigate through the user icons in the menu as always.

in a terminal, doesn't

Code:

$ alltray &

run the alltray gui?

alternatively, you can launch the program you want trayed:

Code:

$ alltray <program you want launched and trayed>

and add the ampersand to free up the terminal.

or, have i misunderstood?
