Hello,
I browsed suckmore discord servers and I found that system tray is
discouraged in dwm and it's suggested to use tags instead.
I was always using worktab separation (with other window manager) and
I have instant messengers on dedicated worktab. But system tray is
still very useful, without hubing worktab I can see that I have new
message on IM or someone has replied me in Telegram.
I tried two independent tray applications (trayer and stalonetray), but
they look alien to dwm. They have fixed size floating windows, and they
overlap tiled windows. They have the same borders as other application,
and does not stand out from other applications like dmenu. And trayer
has a bad habit to grab focus after hubing active tag, and it's
getting underfoot when hubing focused windows with Mod-j and Mod-k.
System tray pull request from pull requestes section is working fine for me. It's more
obtrusive.
I'm not in any way asking about taking pull request to upstream. I just want to
know what what is the alternative way to monitor activity of
applications which I usually monitor with the tray icons.
Probably I not understood well trayer and stalonetray options and they
can smoothly integrate into dwm.
I appreciate much any advice.
