| ===== Xfce Notification Daemon ===== | ===== Xfce4-notifyd Notification service ===== |
| | |
| The **Xfce Notify Daemon** (xfce4-notifyd for short) is a smallish program that implements the "server-side" portion of the [[http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/index.html|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. | |
| | |
| ==== Requirements ==== | |
| | |
| * gtk+ 2.14.0 | |
| * dbus 1.0.0 | |
| * dbus-glib 0.72 | |
| * libxfce4util 4.4.0 | |
| * libxfce4ui 4.7.0 | |
| * xfconf 4.6 | |
| | |
| Additionally, we recommend use with a compositing manager running; in that case xfce4-notifyd will look a bit nicer and will be semi-transparent and will fade out, and other nice pretty things. This isn't required by any | |
| means, of course. | |
| | |
| ==== Configuration ==== | |
| | |
| Run xfce4-notifyd-config to display the settings dialog. There aren't any other tunables; if you don't see it in the settings dialog, it's not changeable. | |
| | |
| ==== Theming ==== | |
| | |
| Xfce4-notifyd uses gtk's standard theming system. You can create new themes by creating a normal gtkrc file. See the example included themes for details of how to reference the various widgets present in a normal notification dialog. You'll want to put your gtkrc file in $HOME/.themes/THEMENAME/xfce4-notify-4.0 and then start up the configuration dialog to set the theme. | |
| | |
| If you think you've come up with a cool theme, feel free to send it to me, and we will be happy to include it in the next release. For themes shipped with xfce4-notifyd, we require all parts of them to be redistributable under the terms of a license compatible with the GPLv2 | |
