Adds, Removes apps to/from .jwmrc-tray; displays TrayButton items.

Version 5.2 Allows for on-the-fly tray switching, from top hidden to bottom visible icon tray
Version 5.0 Allows selection of icon placement on tray
Version 4.5 Added an edit button; made it better able to handle multiple operations without reloading (Got rid of "DONE" window); smaller/faster. Uninstalls with the PM (thanks DaveS)
Version 4.1 Uses gtkdialog4
Version 4.0 Uses gtkdialog =>0.7.21 fileselect filters; Saves backup path, opens to alternative file, or creates new file; Add closewindow buttons.


Version 2.4 Add tooltips
notes: for removing/popup: enter single searchword
Version 2.3 Fix write to /root with "remove" and empty Popup box
Version 2.2.1 Remove comment to delete /tmp/add in cleanup
Version 2.2 Bug Fixes
Version 2.1 Notes:
Added jwm -restart option
Version 2.1.1 Removed bug that prevented loading icons with same name as directory.

Version 2.0 Notes:
For Icons:
1 .Add name without path for typical mini or pixmap location (see viewer)
OR
2. Use file directory (or enter manually with path) for atypical location.

Version 1.0 Notes:
1. Enter only names; paths are automatically inserted to standard locations for mini-icons and pixmaps (none are needed for exec file, as long as it is in PATH).
2. "popup" refers to the NAME that shows up when you place the cursor over the icon on the tray. For removing, all that is needed is the popup name.
3. Restart JWM to see changes (menu/leave/restart JWM).

While initially a curiosity, this app has actually changed the way I use the desktop, by quickly adding/removing projects I'm working on to the tray, where they are out of the way of the often cluttered desktop...a real timesaver. (generally I add a wrapper to /bin (ex. rxvt -e myscript).

Bonjour,
Very nice tool.
I translated in french and i made a slight modification to launch JWM when it is done.
Here is the mod script.

Bonjour à tous,
To remove a popup, traymanager creates a sed* file in the /root directory. Is it possible to delete this file, or does this file matter?

Excellent coding again:

If you are looking for some code to reuse or just some ideas:

zigbert's ptrays has a lot of similar, good features that you could borrow
The autohiding, swallowed apps like xkeyboard & notes features are cool.

pup'ngo's drive trays (I don't know if there is a pet for it but the whole distro is only about 8mb anyways)

there are a couple of other scripts on the pupn'go thread - one parses
/usr/share/applications/*.desktop and builds jwm stuff

I like the ability to have a floating tray similar to wbar by using halign="center" y="+/-integer"

for light weight systems I dump Rox and use jwm to set the background and fake the "icons" using trays:
use x="+/-int" y="+/-int" layout="vertical" and use 2 traybuttons to make an opaque icon button (one for the icon and the other for text)
(unfortunately the opacity setting also makes the icon and text translucent,... too early kde4-ish for me)
(Note: if you dump Rox - you will probably want to update the defaulthandler script)

joe sure did give us a lot to work with

Bonjour à tous,
Is it possible that the search directory is / usr/local/lib/X11 when searching for icons: "Select Icon from Directory"?
Or maybe i am wrong, because i use traymanager in 4.3.1.
