Does anybody know a tool that can switch desktops from the systray? It should show some mini previews or at least numbers of the desktops.

You mean like the applet for Xfce Panel ?
This ?

Yes, something like this but inside of the systray. So it will work with every panel without further configuration.

I don't think anything like that is possible. You can only put icons in the systray. If you want a tray icon that offers a menu to switch desktops, I guess that's doable. I don't think it exists (yet), but it probably can be done.

Maybe this is what you're looking for -
