I am using slack desktop client on my Arch Linux. I am using Xmonad Window manager along with the Xmobar status bar.
On other Desktop environments, for example XFCE, the Slack Desktop client shows a small Icon (System tray icons) on the status bar, which is really helpful.
( Screenshots below are of Slack on XFCE )
But I like to use Xmonad with Xmobar (which looks like this -> )
Is there any way to get the slack icon on xmobar?
If not, is there any good, simple and minimal status bar which I could use on Xmonad?

Finally, with the help of nice people on #xmonad IRC channel, I got the solution
Here is how :
First I resized the xmobar to leave a small gap on Right side (editing xmobarrc)
Use the package
stalonetray
Configure
stalonetray
with~/.stalonetrayrc
fileFinally, added it to
.xintrc
You can even configure it to show multiple system tray icons
Thats it :)
