I want to have tray icons on the left side of i3status (now they are on the right corner, almost invisible for my perception) and I literally have no idea how to do this.Thu, 13 Jun 2013 22:40:46 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2016/changing-order-of-tray-and-i3status-on-i3bar/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2016/changing-order-of-tray-and-i3status-on-i3bar/?answer=2041#post-id-2041There is no such functionality in i3 (i3bar). Checking the source, the location of the tray icons is hard-coded to the right (which makes sense, actually). So, I guess your alternative would be to suggest it as a feature to the mailing list, before patching any code yourself.
