AllTray is a program you can use on UNIX and UNIX-like systems, such as GNU/Linux or FreeBSD, running the X Window System. It is used to “dock” application software into the system tray (also known as the “notification area”). AllTray aims to be standards-compliant and work with any desktop environment/window manager+system tray combination that is also standards-compliant.

Recent releases


Changes: This development and testing release makes KDE applications, OpenOffice.org, and other shell-script-started software work under AllTray. Vala trunk is required to build if you modify any of the *.vala files, plus one modification (a small bugfix). If you're just building the source tarball, Vala is not required at all. A new "Attach Mode" is similar but superior to AllTray 0.70 and prior's “Click Mode”.


Changes: This release is a a rewrite of the source code to bring it up-to-date and compliant with current desktop environment and window management standards. It takes an application-centric view as opposed to a window-centric view of docking, making it possible to dock entire applications instead of just the first window it detects. This is a development snapshot, and is not intended to be generally used. It is for testers and developers only, and not all of the functionality is currently present.


Changes: This release support Gnome 2.14. The annoying Metacity theme bug was fixed. It is now possible to align windows from the right or bottom of the screen.


Changes: Among small bugfixes, the big bug with KDE is now fixed. The transparent KDE tray icon code was completely rewritten. A new command line option to skip the taskbar was added.


Changes: Drag 'n Drop will work under Gnome and KDE. The application will be untouched, so the docked application will work like the undocked one. With the "clickmode" feature, you can dock by clicking on the desired window. Other new features: "--geometry" and "--sticky" options, autopackage support, and bugfixes.
