alltray – Dock any program into the system tray

March 20, 2008 · General · Email This Post

With AllTray you can dock any application with no native tray icon (like Evolution, Thunderbird, Terminals) into the system tray. A high-light feature is that a click on the "close" button will minimize back to system tray. It works well with Gnome, KDE, XFCE 4*, Fluxbox* and WindowMaker*. (*) No drag ‘n drop support. Enable with "-nm" option.

Install alltray in ubuntu

sudo aptitude install alltray

This will complete the installation

Using Alltray

If you want to use alltray follow these steps

for example i want to dock calculator application first you need to open the calculator and then open alltray from Applications--->Accessories--->AllTray

this application will dock you can see in the following screen

if you right click on the calculator dock you should see the following options
