[SOLVED] stalonetray alternative

I am using stalonetray on dwm, which is decent, but very buggy. For example, I autostart qbittorrent in dwm, but it won't show in stalonetray until I restart it. Also, stalonetray will not stay on the bottom right of my screen as I tell it to:

stalonetray --kludges fix_window_pos,force_icons_size &

Lots of times, icons are all of a sudden bigger than they are supposed to be, or the stalonetray simply grows for no reason out of proportion, there is no way to reproduce these errors, but they happen frequently.

This could be an issue with dwm, though I suspect it is stalonetray.

Anyone know of a better, light-weight alternative?

Thanks!

If you're a dwm user, you may consider switching to dwm-sprinkles where you'll find a decent systray.

Re: [SOLVED] stalonetray alternative

nice, but I would like to stay with vanilla dwm and just add a tray as an app to keep things simple for me. Any other ideas?
