The process appears to be different for every distro. There should be a recommended list for every major distro, with how to install and configure them. In particular, the only applet I've succeeded in installing for Fedora 20 so far is `nm-applet`, which is in the package `network-manager-applet`.Wed, 18 Jun 2014 11:19:01 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4011/a-list-of-recommended-tray-applets-in-different-distros/Answer by Filier for I am going through the pain of finding sensible tray applets on Fedora 20.

I can advice `parcellite` as clipboard manager -- very useful if you don't remember basicallu nothing like me.Wed, 05 Nov 2014 21:50:35 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4011/a-list-of-recommended-tray-applets-in-different-distros/?answer=4915#post-id-4915Answer by farnerup for I am going through the pain of finding sensible tray applets on Fedora 20.

There's no "recommended list" as everyone's needs are different. Not everyone is using the network-manager, so even nm-applet does not make sense for all.Wed, 18 Jun 2014 11:23:55 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4011/a-list-of-recommended-tray-applets-in-different-distros/?answer=4012#post-id-4012
