Tray (system tray)

Enable the tray and overflow to keep background icons organized.

Tray (system tray + overflow)

Sulguni’s Tray is where “background apps” live: menu‑bar utilities, sync helpers, and small tools that are running but don’t deserve a permanent Dock spot.

It’s a practical idea borrowed from Windows: keep a few essentials visible, and hide the rest behind an overflow.

Enable the Tray

Tray is optional and can be turned on in Taskbar settings:

  • Enable system tray

Once enabled, you get:

  • a small row of visible tray apps on the right side of the taskbar
  • an overflow button that opens a grid of the rest

What appears in the Tray (and what doesn’t)

Sulguni shows running background apps (the ones that behave like menu‑bar utilities).

To keep the tray useful, it intentionally avoids noise:

  • system / Apple components are filtered out
  • items without a real app icon are skipped
  • duplicates are de‑duplicated by bundle identifier

Not every menu‑bar icon is a separate “app” in the macOS sense, so don’t be surprised if a particular icon doesn’t map cleanly to a tray entry.

Open and manage tray apps

Click to activate

Clicking a tray icon activates the app. For most utilities that means:

  • it comes to the front, or
  • it opens its main window (if it has one)

Right‑click for actions

Right‑click a tray icon to open a small context menu with practical actions like:

  • Open
  • Reveal in Finder (when a path is available)
  • Quit / Force Quit
  • Open Login Items (a shortcut to macOS login item management)

Reorder and move items (visible ↔ overflow)

Tray is meant to be personalized:

  • Drag to reorder icons.
  • Drag between visible and overflow to decide what stays on the taskbar.

Tip: when you start dragging from the visible row, Sulguni can open the overflow panel automatically so you can drop an icon there without extra clicks.

Weather widget note

The weather card is rendered inside the tray area, so Tray must be enabled if you want to show it.
