https://i3wm.org/docs/i3bar-protocol.html
|
|

setting the command to a single dash: _swaybar bar bar-0 status\_command -_
|

|
|
set all at once, per direction, or per side. Note that only sides that
|
|
touch an edge of the screen can have gaps. For the side that does not

touch an edge of the screen, per-side outer gaps for workspaces may be of
|
|
use.

|
|
## TRAY
|
|
|
|
Swaybar provides a system tray where third-party applications may place icons.
|
|
The following commands configure the tray.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
*tray\_bindsym* button<n> ContextMenu|Activate|SecondaryActivate|ScrollDown|ScrollLeft|ScrollRight|ScrollUp|nop
|
|
Binds mouse button _n_ (1 to 9) to the specified action. Use the command
|
|
_nop_ to disable the default action (Activate for button 1, ContextMenu for
|
|
button 2 and SecondaryActivate for button 3).
|
|
|
|
*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.
|
|
|
|
## COLORS
