Introduction

Stalonetray is a stand-alone freedesktop.org and KDE system tray (notification area) for X Window System/X11 (e.g. X.Org or XFree 86). It has full XEMBED support and minimal dependencies: an X11 lib only. Stalonetray works with virtually any EWMH-compliant window manager.

Window managers that are reported to work well with stalonetray are: FVWM, OpenBox, Enlightenment, ion3, Compiz and Xmonad

Installation

Stalonetray is available from the standard repositories:

# pacman -S stalonetray

Once installed, you must place the stalonetrayrc file in your home directory, you can do this by:

$ cp /etc/stalonetrayrc ~/.stalonetrayrc

Note: do this as a regular user, not as root.

Using Stalonetray with ...

... Openbox

To run stalonetray in Openbox, you need to run:

# stalonetray --dockapp-mode simple

Alternatively, you can specify dockapp-mode 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 have Stalonetray run on start up, add

stalonetray &

to your ~/.xinitrc file. If you have not specified the dockapp-mode in your ~/.stalonetrayrc file, don't forget to specify it in your ~/.xinitrc file.
