NAME
docker - System tray for KDE3/GNOME2 docklet applications SYNOPSIS
docker [options] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the docker command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original pro- gram does not have a manual page. docker is a docking application (WindowMaker dock app) which acts as a system tray for KDE3 and GNOME2. It can be used to replace the panel in either environment, allowing you to have a system tray without running the KDE/GNOME panel. Docker was written and designed to work with Openbox 2, but it should work fine in any window manager that supports WindowMaker dock apps. OPTIONS
-h-help Show summary of options. -display DISPLAY The X display to connect to. -border N The width of the border to put around the system tray icons. Defaults to 1. -vertical Line up the icons vertically. Defaults to horizontally. -wmaker WindowMaker mode. This makes docker a fixed size (64x64) to appear nicely in in WindowMaker. Note: In this mode, you have a fixed number of icons that docker can hold. -iconsize SIZE The size (width and height and height) to display icons as in the system tray. Defaults to 24. -color COLOR The background color to use for the tray. Defaults to whatever color the window manager specifies. AUTHOR
