HowTo: Enable an Icon Tray in the Bar

Ken Gilmer edited this page Oct 19, 2019 · 1 revision

Enabling the task/icon tray in the bar requires a single change to your i3 config file, located at ~/.config/regolith/i3/config. Find the line with tray_output none and replace it with tray_output primary. After logging back in or reloading i3, the tray is active. To verify it's working, run nm-applet from a terminal and notice the icon appears in the tray. With the tray enabled, you'll then need to run applet programs of your choosing to show up in the tray. This can be done via the i3 exec command. See the i3-wm User Guide for more information.
