stalonetray's Issues

Steam tray icon expands horizontal size.

Describe the bug
When I open steam the tray icon expands horizontally and the new icons appear in a new column despite the fact I set the grow to south.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the buggy behavior (even if intermittent):

Use WM Openbox.
Use my config.
Launch the app Steam.
See that the Steam icon takes double the space.

Expected behavior

Log files
I technically can not get a log file of the error because when I restart stalonetray manually everything works as expected. But for the good measure here is the log after restarting:

trace.txt

And here is my config:

I get a small circle

I'm following the instructions to have a nm-applet here.

I have Arch with hyprland. stalonetray from official repos.

When I run:

nm-applet    2>&1 > /dev/null &
stalonetray  2>&1 > /dev/null
killall nm-applet

I get a small circle, with no icon, that can't be resized and do nothing.

problem using stalonetray with mwm

I want to use stalonetray with mwm.
The idea is to have a horizontal system tray window that expands when I add an applet and shrinks back when I remove the applet.
If I use the command:
stalonetray -geometry 1x1+100+100 --grow-gravity W
I get the expected behaviour:

start stalonetray: empty tray's window at X
start applet1: tray's window at X applet icon at X
start applet2: tray's window at X,X+1 applet icons at X,X+1
start applet3: tray's window at X,X+1,X+2 applet icons at X,X+1,X+2
delete applet: tray's window at X,X+1 applet icons at X,X+1
delete applet: tray's window at X applet icon at X
delete applet: empry tray's window at X

However when I use the command:
stalonetray -geometry 1x1+100+100 --grow-gravity E
I get some buggy results:

start stalonetray: empty tray's window at X
start applet1: tray's window at X applet icon at X
start applet2: tray's window at X-1,X applet icons at X(visible),X+1(not visible)
start applet3: tray's window at X-1,X,X+1 applet icons at X+1(v),X+2(nv),X+3(nv)
should be: X-2,X-1,X
delete applet: tray's window at X+2,X+3 applet icons at X+3(v),X+4(nv)
should be: X-1,X
delete applet: tray's window at X+4 applet icon at X+4(v)
should be: X
delete applet: empry tray's window at X+4

That is: the system tray window get shifted to the right and some applet icons are placed where are not visible.
I tested stalonetray with openbox and it works as expected, so the issue is with mwm.
Is there some known command line option that can be used to fix the problem?
I did try --no-shrink and --kludges fix_window_pos but it didn't help.
I observed the problem on opensuse and centos. I guess if you have access to mwm you should be able to easily reproduce the bug. If not, I can provide any trace log necessary.

This seems to be fixed on master, which is great, but there hasn't been a release in almost two years now, so for example it does not build on some specific systems, like mine, until I figured out why this was happening. Great little program otherwise, thanks for making it!

Changing the icon spacing/padding?

trayer position sometimes has extra offset compared with the geometry

I am using the xmonad and I add stalonetrayer & in my startup hook.

I set geometry 1x1+1896+0 to make it stay at the top right corner. However, I noticed that sometimes the trayer panel would shift left with a slot, especially after a reboot.

If I just kill the stalonetrayer and restart it then it works fine.

I am wondering if it is a bug or expected behavior and how could I fix this?

Thanks.

Icon for Double Commander in tray is very small

The question is - where does stalonetray take icons? Icons for all programs in the tray have normal sizes but Double Commander has very small. My config is
decorations none dockapp_mode simple geometry 6x3+0-0 icon_size 32 slot_size 40 kludges force_icons_size max_geometry 6x3 parent_bg true transparent false icon_gravity SE grow_gravity SE no_shrink true
The OS is FVWM based on Linix Mint 20.

How do you create tray window and center it?

Is there a way to create a stalone tray of window type normal and center it on the screen? for instance using this command and having the window appear int he middle of the screen:

stalonetray --window-type normal -t --icon-size 100

Could you tell me how to use remote control?

I try for some time and fail to understand it. Maybe you can give me an example.

Option to group and label icons

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have some apps open multiple times and for each instance they have a icon but I would also like to group similar apps (e.g. messaging).

Describe the solution you'd like

Option to group icons together based on window name
Option to freely group icons together based on user defined rules
Left click to open group in either a separate window or in the same stalonetray window but with a back button displayed
Label that displays when the user hovers over the group
Custom icon for group (static image would be okay but some ideas for options: displaying multiple of the icons part of a group but smaller or displaying the last icon that got a indicator)
Indicator for the group in case there is a indicator on a app in the group (not 100% sure how you could get that info but displaying it after a icon change might be good enough... or just give the users some scripting freedom here and they might figure something out by themselves)
(Custom) context menu entries for the groups (e.g. launch app xyz from the group)

Describe alternatives you've considered
I heard about a GNOME extension that introduces groups for the system tray there but I never tried it since I don't use that DE...

Additional context

Works with stumpwm but window is gone when I kill and start stalonetray

Hello, thanks for this nice software.
Is there some way to force a re-render or something? When I kill stalonetray and start it again, with stumpwm it doesn't decide to make a new window.
When I restart stumpwm it appears again.

Turns out somebody wrote a systray module for stumpwm that I am using now. I think both are great options for stumpwm users.

Documentation: where is the log file

Please include the log file location in the man file and anywhere else it might help.

running make should build documentation by default

After running make (which builds stalonetray) at least stalonetrayrc.sample and stalonetray.html was not built.

Change icon of specific program

I'm using stalonetray for many years in FVWM without a problem. I starting now to use blueman-applet. Background of display is dark and icond dark, too. Nothing can see. I'd like to change icon for something more light but I do not understand where the stalonetray takes them? In /usr/share/icons/hicolor there are blueman.png, blueman-active.png, blueman-disabled.png and the same for all sizes. In config stalonetray I set size 32 and then I tried to change these icons 32x32 for anothers but without effect. May be it is possible to make possibility to use my own icons for specific program?

Unable to set display

Stalonetray keeps appearing on the wrong monitor, as per this SO question and its driving me nuts

I tried to force it to appear on my preferred display with

stalonetray -display HDMI-1-1

where HDMI-1-1 is the screen name I got from $ xrandr

But I just get this lame message, which I don't understand:

could not open display
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Is anyone able to help?

mention XDG_CONFIG_HOME in README

Mention different locations where rc file can be placed. From this #1

stalonetray.1 has some format errors in Arch's package

First the error is the same in Arch's official package and on my local machine. But I am not sure if it's only in Arch Linux, if the issue can not be reproduced elsewhere, then it's probably due to arch's PKGBUILD or dependency package version.
Since none of the DOCBOOK_ROOT candidate locations exists in Arch, the PKGBUILD replaced one with another directory belonging to docbook-xsl. This seems the only change made in Arch's package.

The manual within the package from Arch's offcial repository has some errors when viewing with man:

Can't change the size of the stalonetray window upon launch or tray update

Describe the bug
Whatever options you use to launch stalonetray, it will always start with geometry: 75x50 and position itself in the center of the screen.

You can't change the size with resize mode (Sway), but you can if you enable all decorations with -d all and use your mouse to resize it; in that case, it will resize automatically to the size of the icons, but if the tray updates (another program icon is added/removed), it will revert to geometry: 75x50 and center itself again.

To Reproduce
I'm not sure what conditions cause this bug, but I believe it's caused by launching it with Xwayland. EndeavourOS Community Edition Sway (Wayland) is what I'm using.

This is how I'm launching it:
stalonetray -d all -bg "#0D0A15" -i 16 --log-level info --geometry 1x1+0+0 --grow-gravity W --icon-gravity E --max-geometry 3x1 -s 16 --scrollbars none

Current behavior

Expected behavior
(I can only achieve this window size, using -d all so the title bar is enabled, but it shouldn't be needed)

https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/stalonetray/

However, the upstream is still:
http://stalonetray.sourceforge.net/

I think it should be update to this new GitHub-repo. Are you the maintainer of the arch-package or should I write the maintainer a mail and ask him to update it?

Chromium-based browsers icons are not swallowed on stalonetray restart.

I restart stalonetray (flipping -v option) when changing orientation of my screen (portrait/landscape). All tray icons get swalloved again, but chromium-based browsers (google-chrome, brave, chromium, ...) do not. (They disappear or appear on some random location on screen.)
This may be related to https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1042098 . (I cannot say if stalonetray has this wrong, I post this issue, so that the problem can be tracked.)

Search for stalonetrayrc under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME

Thank you for stalonetray. I have one feature-request. I would like to store my stalonetrayrc in ~/.config which is defined by $XDG_CONFIG_HOME. It would be great if stalonetray would automatically search for stalonetrayrc under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/stalonetrayrc.
