Config file is not loading at all.
Closed this issue · 8 comments
Whenever I change anything in deadd.conf or deadd.css and restarting app, it changes nothing (color, sizes, ...).
for example I tried:
label.deadd-noti-center.notification.body { color: red; } in deadd.css file
or
hideOnMouseLeave = false
width = 800 in conf file
but none of that changed anything
My config file is located in ~/.config/deadd/deadd.conf and also XDG_CONFIG_HOME is correctly set to config folder path.
I don't know, if there is any log to this app so I can't attach it there. But I will answer to any question to this problem if needed.
Hi @tomato4,
What version are you using?
Does deadd log anything into the console (that's basically as far as it get's with logs)?
I'm using latest version from AUR packages. The one called deadd-notification-center-bin and version 1.7.3-2
No. There is only daemon started. Nothing more.
Version 1.7.3 does not yet support deadd.css, that is only available on the master branch. To find out the possible configuration for 1.7.3 check out this link: https://github.com/phuhl/linux_notification_center/tree/1.7.3
Still though, deadd.css should be doing something. Could you post your config file?
It didn't occur to me to check the version of readme to my version. Sorry about that.
Here is my config file. I set some "ridiculous" values just to see if it changes, but nothing happend. Eg. hideOnMouseLeave is false, but it is doing it (but as I see in 1.7.3. example this is maybe also version problem). What is not version problem (or at least it should't be) is for example marginTop or width of noti-center. If I set 1000 width it doesn't change anything.
Now I'm using the newest config example and I'm not sure if this will not cause these problems. So I will try to change the default one from 1.7.3. tag or I will try compile the master version (or "deadd-notification-center-git" AUR package which should be basically same as compiling master). After that I will write you if the problem was resolved.
UPDATE: I wasn't able to compile it from master branch nor from AUR package (it throws errors. Maybe it's because I'm Manjaro user, but idk). Also tried to take default config file from 1.7.3. tag and changed width and margin and this also didn't change anything.

[buttons]
### This section describes the configurable buttons within the
### notification center and NOT the buttons that appear in the
### notifications
Note: If you want your buttons in the notification center to be
# squares you should verify that the following equality holds:
# [notification-center]::width
# == [buttons]::buttonsPerRow * [buttons]::buttonHeight
# + ([buttons]::buttonsPerRow + 1) * [buttons]::buttonMargin
# Numbers of buttons that can be drawn on a row of the notification
# center.

# Height of buttons in the notification center (in pixels).

# Horizontal and vertical margin between each button in the
# notification center (in pixels).
buttonMargin = 2
# Labels written on the buttons in the notification center. Labels
# should be written between quotes and separated by a colon. For
# example:
# labels = "VPN":"Bluetooth":"Wifi":"Screensaver"
# Each label is represented as a clickable button in the notification
# center. The commands variable below define the commands that should
# be launched when the user clicks on the associated button. There
# should be the same number of entries in `commands` and in `labels`
# commands = "sudo vpnToggle":"bluetoothToggle":"wifiToggle":"screensaverToggle"#Ok, it appears to me, that the file is not found for some reason. I don't know why, though. Could you post the output of echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME?
I wasn't able to compile it from master branch nor from AUR package (it throws errors. Maybe it's because I'm Manjaro user, but idk). Also tried to take default config file from 1.7.3. tag and changed width and margin and this also didn't change anything.
Feel free to open a seperate issue for this

As this issue concerns the old config format (as file is deadd.conf, not deadd.yml) I am going to close this. Should the issue persist with the newest version of deadd and a deadd.yml file, feel free to reopen.
