Swaybar provides a system tray where third-party applications may place icons.
The following commands configure the tray.
2018-05-12 11:13:43 +10:00
The _button_ argument in all cases is a platform-specific button code. On Linux
you can find a list of these at linux/input-event-codes.h.
*activate\_button* <button>
Sets the button to be used for the _activate_ (primary click) tray item
2018-05-12 11:13:43 +10:00
event. The default is BTN\_LEFT (0x110).
