1 The Xfce Notify Daemon (xfce4-notifyd for short) is a smallish program that
2 implements the "server-side" portion of the Freedesktop desktop notifications
3 specification. Applications that wish to pop up a notification bubble in a
4 standard way can implicitly make use of xfce4-notifyd to do so by sending
5 standard messages over D-Bus using the org.freedesktop.Notifications interface.
7 It's recommended use xfce4-notifyd with a compositing manager running; in that
8 case xfce4-notifyd will look a bit nicer and will be semi-transparent and will
9 fade out, and other nice pretty things. This isn't required by any means, of
10 course.
13 Configuration:
15 Run xfce4-notifyd-config to display the settings dialog. There aren't any other
16 tunables; if you don't see it in the settings dialog, it's not changeable.
19 Theming:
21 Xfce4-notifyd uses gtk's standard theming system. You can create new themes by
22 creating a normal gtkrc file. See the example included themes for details of
23 how to reference the various widgets present in a normal notification dialog.
24 You'll want to put your gtkrc file in $HOME/.themes/THEMENAME/xfce4-notify-4.0
25 and then start up the configuration dialog to set the theme. If you think
26 you've come up with a cool theme, feel free to send it to the author, and he'll
27 be happy to include it in the next release. For themes shipped with
28 xfce4-notifyd, author requires all parts of them to be redistributable under
29 the terms of a license compatible with the GPLv2.
