# Detects the width of running window with name given as first
# argument (xprop name '$1') and creates an XPM icon of that width,
# 1px height, and transparent.  Outputs an <icon>-tag for use in
# xmobar to display the generated XPM icon.
#
# Run script from xmobar and trayer:
# `Run Com "/where/ever/padding-icon.sh" ["panel"] "trayerpad" 10`
# and use `%trayerpad%` in your template.
# or, if you're using for instance stalonetray:
# `Run Com "/where/ever/padding-icon.sh" ["stalonetray"] "tray" 10`
