Xfce Notify Daemon ================== The Xfce Notify Daemon (or "xfce4-notifyd") is a small program that implements the "server-side" portion of the Freedesktop desktop notifications specification. Applications that wish to pop up a notification bubble in a standard way can implicitly make use of xfce4-notifyd to do so by sending standard messages over D-Bus using the org.freedesktop.Notifications interface. Apart from the notification server a panel plugin is included which shows recent notifications in a dropdown menu in the Xfce Panel. Requirements: ------------- * gtk+ 3.14.0 * glib-2.0 (gdbus) 2.42 * libxfce4util 4.12.0 * libxfce4ui 4.12.0 * xfconf 4.10 * libnotify 0.7 * libxfce4panel 4.12.0 (for the panel plugin) Additionally, having a compositing manager running is recommended. This is necessary for features like transparency and animations. Installation: ------------- The usual: ./autogen.sh make make install should work just fine. Pass --prefix=/path/to/wherever to install in a location other than the default /usr/local. In order for xfce4-notifyd to be started automatically, you must have a <servicedir> directive in your D-Bus session configuration file. If you install xfce4-notifyd to a standard prefix (like /usr), you shouldn't have to worry about this. Configuration: -------------- Run xfce4-notifyd-config to display the settings dialog. There are no hidden settings, which means if you don't see it in the settings dialog, it's not changeable. The panel plugin has a separate properties dialog, which shows all configuration options for it. Theming: -------- Xfce4-notifyd uses Gtk+'s standard theming system. By default it will use the "app-notification" or "osd" classes of your Gtk+ theme. If you want to override the default notifications style of your theme you can use the "#XfceNotifyWindow" widget name or you can create a standalone theme (see the examples included, e.g. "ZOMG-PONIES!"). You have to put your gtk.css file in $HOME/.themes/THEMENAME/xfce4-notify-4.0 and then start up the configuration dialog to set the theme. If you have created a cool theme you can submit it via a bugreport on bugs.xfce.org. For themes shipped with xfce4-notifyd, all parts are required to be redistributable under the terms of a license compatible with GPLv2.
