Stalonetray is a stand-alone freedesktop.org and KDE system tray for the X Window System. It has full XEMBED support, minimal dependencies and works with virtually any EWMH-compliant window manager. Window managers that are reported to work well with stalonetray are: FVWM, Openbox, Enlightenment, Compiz, Xmonad, dwm, and awesome.

## Installation

Install the stalonetray package. Once installed, copy the `stalonetrayrc` file to your home directory. Note that you should do this as a regular user.

    $ cp /etc/stalonetrayrc ~/.stalonetrayrc

## Configuration

### Openbox

To run Stalonetray in Openbox, `dockapp-mode` must be set to `simple`. This can be accomplished with either the command-line argument `--dockapp-mode simple` or by modifying `~/.stalonetrayrc`.

Openbox now treats the tray as the dock, and you can adjust its position by using the Openbox Configuration Tool. To run Stalonetray on start up, add the following to `~/.config/openbox/autostart`:

    stalonetray --dockapp-mode simple &

## Troubleshooting

### Icons do not have the desired size

To force the size of the icons to be equal to icon_size, launch stalonetray with the following arguments:

    stalonetray --icon-size=16 --kludges=force_icons_size

This will force the size of all icons to 16×16 pixels.

Alternatively, one could add the following to the configuration file:

    icon_size 16
    kludges force_icons_size
