trayer-srg - a lightweight GTK2-based systray for UNIX desktop

trayer [ OPTIONS ]

trayer is small program designed to provide systray functionality present in GNOME/KDE desktop enviroments for window managers which doesn't support that function. It's similar to other applications such as 'peksystray' and 'docker'.

trayer code was extracted from fbpanel application, you can find more about it on it's homepage: http://fbpanel.sourceforge.net/

You can find new versions of trayer and support on FVWM-Crystal project homepage: http://fvwm-crystal.berlios.de/

trayer-srg was forked from trayer in january 2010 to add some fancy features and clean up code. It contains all changes from above versions as far as known. Code of trayer-srg can be found on github: http://github.com/sargon/trayer-srg
