-Tray

-Swaybar provides a system tray where programs such as NetworkManager, VLC,
-Pidgin, etc. can place little icons. The following commands configure
-interaction with the tray or individual icons.
-The _button_ argument in all following commands is a Linux input event code as
-defined in linux/input-event-codes.h. This is because wayland defines button
-codes in this manner.
