This project is an replace to the original notification-daemon[1]. Instead of
flashing a popup this daemon can easily changed into specific behavior. At
the moment it will forward notifications to wmii[2].
TODOS:
* make script more generic
* add support for possible features of specification[3]
* Markup
* Actions
* Hints (category, urgency level, icon data, sound, desktop entry, ...)
* Expiration Timeout
* replacing existing items
* feedback from wmii (actions, dismiss item, expire item, ...)
Not everything of these items makes sense in context of minimalism but some
sugar such as actions would be nice.
IDEA1: Right click to status button will dismiss it. Left click will open
a popup with icon data or buttons for actions.
IDEA2: Replace complete wmii bar with notification. Show message in lbar
and buttons in rbar.
BUGS:
* Sometimes the daemon hangs and can only killed with a SIGKILL.
SUBMODULE:
This Project requires the current version of ruby-dbus[4]. Only tested with
version 0.3.0 and 0.5.0.
INSTALL:
Add/change service file for org.freedesktop.Notifications and copy rnotify.rb
to /usr/libexec/rnotifyd.rb. DBus will call the script automatically
if necessary.
