WMDOCKER(1)

πŸ’… WMDOCKER β€” the manual, but make it make sense

okay bestie, welcome to the wmdocker(1) page from the General Commands Manual ✨ it's short, it's sweet, it's a whole vibe, and it's literally the entire documentation for wmdocker. let's go 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

wmdocker β€” system tray for KDE3/GNOME2 docklet applications 🌸


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

wmdocker [options]

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so this manual page documents the wmdocker command briefly, no cap β€” that's literally what it says. and plot twist: this page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page 😭 so this is all we got, and we're grateful fr fr.

wmdocker is a docking application (a WindowMaker dock app) that acts as a system tray for KDE3 and GNOME2. what's the point? it can replace the panel in either environment, so you get a system tray without having to run the KDE/GNOME panel. lowkey iconic, honestly πŸ‘‘

and for the lore girlies: Docker was written and designed to work with Openbox 2, but it should work fine in any window manager that supports WindowMaker dock apps. it's giving "versatile queen" πŸ’…


⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • -h-help β€” shows a summary of options. yep, that's the spelling, we don't ask questions, we just copy it exactly πŸŽ€
  • -display DISPLAY β€” the X display to connect to πŸ¦‹
  • -border N β€” the width of the border to put around the system tray icons. defaults to 1 ✨
  • -vertical β€” line up the icons vertically. defaults to horizontally, if you were wondering πŸ’…
  • -wmaker β€” WindowMaker mode 🧚 this makes wmdocker a fixed size (64x64) so it appears nicely in in WindowMaker (she said "in" twice, we love her). > Note: in this mode, you have a fixed number of icons that wmdocker can hold. so plan accordingly bestie πŸ“
  • -iconsize SIZE β€” the size (width and height and height) to display icons as in the system tray. defaults to 24 🌈 (and yes, "height" got typed twice. no thoughts, head empty, preserving the source πŸ’€)
  • -color COLOR β€” the background color to use for the tray. defaults to whatever color the window manager specifies πŸ‘‘
