[SOLVED] Add to and remove from systemtray

#1 Post by kaye »

Hello Friends!

In the Fluxbox systemtray, I have these items:

Volume
MX Updater
NetworkManager Applet
Clipman

These are there upon startup.

Is there a way to configure what systemtray loads upon startup?

For instance I would like to have a CPU and RAM monitor there, if that is possible.

And maybe remove the Clipman and MX Updater.

Thank you for your time!

In the startup file of Fluxbox, just put a # in front of it and they will no longer be loaded.

I use conky for cpu and memory load, the bar is not enough for that.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#
# fluxbox startup-script:
#
# Lines starting with a '#' are ignored.

#place network manager on the toolbar
# nm-applet &

#start pulseaudio before volumeicon so unmute works
start-pulseaudio-x11 &
sleep 2
#volumeicon -c volumeicon-fluxbox & 
# volumeicon &

#place clipboard on the toolbar
# clipman

# put apt-notifier on the toolbar
# (sleep 6; /usr/bin/apt-notifier) &
