Tint2 tray?

I was wondering if there's anyway to incorporate a system tray into the tint2 panel beside the clock. Tint2 has no support for a system tray so could I use one like stalonetray, trayer etc? I tried these two out but if I put them beside the tray the tray will over lap any tasks below it, obviously (they have a border around them for some reason so they don't blend in too well either, tried everything and couldn't get the border away :S). And I was wondering if there's any sound applet you can use for these trays?

Re: Tint2 tray?

You can play with the --margin option like this:

trayer --edge bottom  --expand true --widthtype request --height 24 --SetDockType true --transparent true --alpha 255 --margin 100 --align right &

That give's me this result:

PS: For the sound I use volwheel

Re: Tint2 tray?

Thanks, I have the tray functioning perfectly but there seems to be some sort of transparency problem. When I open up Pidgin it creates a system tray icon, but when I open up XChat it creates one too... BUT the Pidgin icon gets a blue background and not transparent. Any ideas?

And how do I make the icons smaller? I need it as compact as possible.

I'm having this problem as well.

Re: Tint2 tray?

I have tint and then:

trayer --edge top --align right --widthtype request --height 20 --SetDockType true --transparent true --alpha 255 --expand true &

It has a transparent tray, it just expands over tint which shrinks accordingly.

Re: Tint2 tray?

The latest release of tint2 adds the systray feature.
So check out 'tint2-svn' package in AUR. :-)
