When moving wibar to the top the minitray widget keeps popped up from the bottom about redflat HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes, it is. Most of floating widgets can use custom position function. I use one to fix tray in right bottom corner. Just fix theme file by removing this function and tray will follow mouse then.

theme.widget.minitray = {
	border_width = 0,
	geometry     = { height = 40 },
	screen_gap   = 2 * theme.useless_gap,
	color        = { wibox = theme.color.wibox, border = theme.color.wibox },
	set_position = function() -- remove this for position by mouse
		return { x = mouse.screen.workarea.x + mouse.screen.workarea.width,
		         y = mouse.screen.workarea.y + mouse.screen.workarea.height }
	end,
}

Nice point, thanks. However, don't you think it is better to spawn the minitray right under the mouse all the time? For example, if you click the tray icon widget the mouse is above it anyway, so the minitray widget will be spawned correctly all the time.

No, I don't. There is a possibility to show tray by hotkey just to check apps. Anyway I moved this function to theme (read like individual settings) for better flexibility.
