al@18947 1 The Xfce Notify Daemon (xfce4-notifyd for short) is a smallish program that
al@18947 2 implements the "server-side" portion of the Freedesktop desktop notifications
al@18947 3 specification. Applications that wish to pop up a notification bubble in a
al@18947 4 standard way can implicitly make use of xfce4-notifyd to do so by sending
al@18947 5 standard messages over D-Bus using the org.freedesktop.Notifications interface.
al@18947 6
al@18947 7 It's recommended use xfce4-notifyd with a compositing manager running; in that
al@18947 8 case xfce4-notifyd will look a bit nicer and will be semi-transparent and will
al@18947 9 fade out, and other nice pretty things. This isn't required by any means, of
al@18947 10 course.

al@18947 13 Configuration:
al@18947 14
al@18947 15 Run xfce4-notifyd-config to display the settings dialog. There aren't any other
al@18947 16 tunables; if you don't see it in the settings dialog, it's not changeable.

al@18947 19 Theming:
al@18947 20
al@18947 21 Xfce4-notifyd uses gtk's standard theming system. You can create new themes by
al@18947 22 creating a normal gtkrc file. See the example included themes for details of
al@18947 23 how to reference the various widgets present in a normal notification dialog.
al@18947 24 You'll want to put your gtkrc file in $HOME/.themes/THEMENAME/xfce4-notify-4.0
al@18947 25 and then start up the configuration dialog to set the theme. If you think
al@18947 26 you've come up with a cool theme, feel free to send it to the author, and he'll
al@18947 27 be happy to include it in the next release. For themes shipped with
al@18947 28 xfce4-notifyd, author requires all parts of them to be redistributable under
al@18947 29 the terms of a license compatible with the GPLv2.
