This doesn't work well for me. I have a single monitor setup where I have a couple of system info scripts and a clock running on xmobar. The problem is these values fluctuate sometimes and the tray ends up clipping the text. I don't place it to the extreme right because then I have to force fully reserve space for the bar in my xmobar, which kinda looks odd. It would've been great if something was integratable into xmobar.
Not really a deal breaker though, just a convenience, I'm anyways living without a tray for now like you said.

The only thing I can't live without panel is date and time. Alas, I use GNOME 3.32 since the zoom functionally has been improved. In G B OME 3.30, the panel at top is clipped off so u can't view clock but with 3.32 I can. The zoom feature is great for visually impaired and is far ahead in terms of input tracking, something KDE and XFCE doesn't do. By input tracking, GNOME's zoom feature focuses in insertion point in the center of screen, which don't do well for Firefox, my primary web browser.

Hi DT, usually I'm a silent viewer, however I was wondering if you could take a look at -Micro-. -Micro- is a terminal text editor and I think it's amazing for new users. For example it comes with mouse support and crtl-c , ctrl-v copy paste like most GUI text editors. I don't think it's something for the vim and emacs gurus but I like it out of the box as a simple quick and easy text editor.

Did linux hire the artist who erased daffy duck while the cartoon was still showing.
Nice computer man!
Yeah! Good looking wall paper huh? Ain't figured out how to use it, but it looks good at night.
I'm going to call all my linux peeps I installed linux on, and set up appointments to remove their system trays! -

It is kind of the same thing with keyboards and using layers. You do not need to have/see individual keys if you can have them on a sepatate layer. It is efficent and saves on space. Goes hand in hand with how to use your UI.

5 minute long explanation of why I might not want a system tray when I clicked on the video so why would I not... Also your reasons don't really make sense to me. A lot of the minimalist stuff doesn't to be honest.

There are cases when the network is down, or dropbox faces some problems syncing or the sound is off for some reason. This is why you can have a sys tray (or a status bar).

DT, can you set the panels and systrays to run thing based a user or group? So, a sysadmin has a different systray or power button options than a standard user?

Make a video about using using wordgrinner which is a terminal based word processor that gets the job done and gets out of the way.
