|
## TRAY
|
|
|
|
Swaybar provides a system tray where third-party applications may place icons.
|
|
The following commands configure the tray.
|
|
|
|
*tray\_bindcode* <event-code>
|
|
ContextMenu|Activate|SecondaryActivate|ScrollDown|ScrollLeft|ScrollRight|ScrollUp|nop
|
|
Executes the action when the mouse button has been pressed. The buttons can
|
|
be given as an event code, which can be obtained from `libinput debug-events`.
|
|
To disable the default behavior for a button, use the command _nop_.
|
|
|
|
*tray\_bindsym* button[1-9]|<event-name>
|
|
ContextMenu|Activate|SecondaryActivate|ScrollDown|ScrollLeft|ScrollRight|ScrollUp|nop
|
|
Executes the action when the mouse button has been pressed. The buttons can
|
|
be given as a x11 button number or an event name, which can be obtained
|
|
from `libinput debug-events`. Use the command _nop_ to disable the default
|
|
action (Activate for button1, ContextMenu for button2 and SecondaryActivate
|
|
for button3).
|
|
|
|
*tray\_padding* <px> [px]
|
|
Sets the pixel padding of the system tray. This padding will surround the
|
|
tray on all sides and between each item. The default value for _px_ is 2.
|
|
|
|
*tray\_output* none|<output>
|
|
Restrict the tray to a certain output, can be specified multiple times. If
|
|
omitted, the tray will be displayed on all outputs. Unlike i3bar, swaybar
|
|
can show icons on any number of bars and outputs without races.
|
|
|
|
*icon\_theme* <name>
|
|
Sets the icon theme that sway will look for item icons in. This option has
|
|
no default value, because sway will always default to the fallback theme,
|
|
hicolor.
|
|
|
|
