dock any application to the system tray

09 July, 2007 23:14

I use an old 5.5 version of VMWARE workstation that I wanted to run in the background, start minimized, or dock to the system tray.  The command line does not have a --minimize, that I am aware of.  I started a synaptic search and came across AllTray.

Alltray allows you to dock ANY application, no matter if the tray feature is not provided in the application.

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 .

AllTray - dock any application with no native tray icon

This is one of those applications I was living without, but wish I had known about earlier.
