Re: [STUMP] Is there a way to show an icon on mode line ?

[Bernard Hurley]

Hi all,

It is possible to use trayer, a simple system tray, as a modeline, by
putting the following in your .stumpwmrc:

(run-shell-command "/usr/bin/trayer --SetDockType true --transparent true 
--alpha 0 --edge top --align right --expand true --widthtype request --tint 
0xf0f8ff")

(define-key *root-map* (kbd "j") "mode-line")

(run-shell-command "stumpish mode-line")

For some reason you have to call mode-line from within stumpish. If you
do it in .stumpwmrc, you get the standard mode-line. I have included the
options I use for trayer. You may wish to do something different.

Regards,

Bernard

edges there were, as long as the CDC Pascal compiler was fast.
