LAL(1)

NAME
lal - stand alone clock that is designed to run as a dock application but is not required to. This document covers 1.1 version of lal.

SYNOPSIS
lal [options]

DESCRIPTION

Lal is a clock for your dock. It's not fancy.

Lal is a stand-alone clock to X Window Systemd/X11 (e.g. XOrg or XFree86). It has minimal build and run-time dependencies. Lal works with virtually any EWMH-compliant window manager.

The behaviour and the look of stalonetray can be configured either via command line options or via configuration file. As usual, command-line options have precedence over options that are specified in the configuration file.
