Some good trayer flags

While good documentation is hard to find for Linux in general, it's almost non-existent for smaller, less used (read: non-gnome/kde) apps. One such app is trayer, which gives you a stand alone system tray (for icons of apps like pidgin, gmail notifier, and the like). It's especially useful for minimalistic window managers that don't come with panels (such as wmii, awesome wm, or xmonad).

Here is a spiffy example of trayer usage that I found (tested in xmonad):
trayer --edge top --align right --SetDockType true --SetPartialStrut true --expand true --width 10 --transparent true --tint 0x191970 --height 12
