Re: How to add battery monitor script to systemtray or toolbar?

Hi!

To add a program to the Fluxbox systemtray I use alltray:

  https://launchpad.net/alltray/+announcements
  http://alltray.trausch.us/ (main site currently down)

Highly recommendable. E.g. to run Telegram in Fluxbox one
can use in the .initrc

  alltray -H -C -- /usr/local/bin/Telegram &

Best,
      Mike
