Command: tray-update
Send updates about the status tray to the status icon
+Required header: Socket
+ Where the icon is embedded, used to identify the affected tray
+
+Conditionally required header: Max colour
+ Required if: `Colour`-header is used
+ Required if: `Alpha`-header is used
+ The maximum colour component value, for example, if using 24-bit

+Conditionally required header: Bytes
+ Required if: `Length`-header is used
+ The number of bytes the subpixels used, for example,
