WITRAY(1)

💅 WITRAY(1) — the wmii system tray, from the General Commands Manual ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

witray — the wmii system tray. That's the whole name, bestie; short, iconic, and here to serve 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

witray [-a <address>] [-NESW] [-HV] [-p <padding>] [-s <iconsize>] -t
(tags)

witray -v

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so witray is a simple system tray program meant to be used with wmii. It supports the Freedesktop System Tray Protocol Specification that's common among all newer applications and desktop environments. The tray is only visible when applications require it — like, it literally shows up when it's needed and doesn't just lurk there, no cap.

There are, like, so many standalone system tray applications out there, but this one is explicitly tailored to wmii. It's simple, stays out of the user's way, is easy to configure, and generally Just Works. Iconic behavior, honestly 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• -a — the address at which to connect to wmii. Like, where witray links up with wmii, periodt.

Here are the screen-edge flags, bestie — they set the screen edge where witray is to appear:

• -N — sets it to the North edge.
• -E — sets it to the East edge.
• -S — sets it to the South edge.
• -W — sets it to the West edge.

Options may be combined, for instance -NE gives the _North East_ corner of the screen. If no options are given, witray opens to the West of whichever part of the screen the wmii bar occupies 🧭

• -H — icons are aligned horizontally. Together with -V, this also determines from which edge of the screen windows are shunted to make room for the tray.
• -V — icons are aligned vertically. Together with -H, this also determines from which edge of the screen windows are shunted to make room for the tray.
• -n — do not replace an already running system tray. Respect the existing tray, bestie 🙈
• -p <padding> — sets the padding between icons and around the edge of the tray. In pixels.
• -s <iconsize> — sets the size of the icons, in pixels. If not provided, icons are sized so that the tray is the same height as the wmii bar.
• -t <tags> — the tags on which to open. Default: /./
• -v — display version information. Cute little version check, slay ✨
