Hey, guys, Please How do I setup up the notification stuff, I am using Parrot OS, I have installed the software my notification is just plain with just date and time no WiFi of Bluetooth buttons under
then how do I add a shortcut that will automatically launch it

[phuhl]

Hi,

for adding the buttons have a look here: https://github.com/phuhl/linux_notification_center#configuration
Have a look in the section [buttons]. You need to comment in the labels and commands variables and set them accordingly.

For autostarting you will have to find out how your system handels autostart and launch it from there. One common way is to use the .xinitrc file in your home directory to launch programs. When you found an appropriate place, just start it with deadd-notification-center &.

Hope it helps, cheers

Hello! Love this project. I have a question about customizing colors. Which option in deadd.css corresponds to the colors for the buttons that appear in notifications themselves? I tried adjusting the color under button, but that didn't seem to do anything.

[balajsra]

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, that does not seem to be it either.

[balajsra]

Figured it out. It was .userbutton.

[phuhl]

Nice. Btw, what is the code for the border around the notification and the rounded corners?

[phuhl]

Probably should create an issue, .userbutton.notification should be a thing!

[balajsra]

Nice. Btw, what is the code for the border around the notification and the rounded corners?

Here is what I did for the border w/ rounded corners. This specifies a solid green (#50fa7b) border of size 2 pixels with a 10 pixel border radius.

.blurredBG.notification {
    background:  rgba(40, 42, 54, 0.8);
    border: 2pt #50fa7b solid;
    border-radius: 10px;
}

Probably should create an issue, .userbutton.notification should be a thing!

Sounds good, I created #170.

Hi! Really love this project. The README mentions progress bar, but so far I cannot see it. Also, deadd.css file doesn't seem to be loaded when the noti daemon starts. Do you have any idea? Im using the deadd-notification-center-bin package.

[phuhl]

Hi, I think the deadd-notification-center-bin package it too old. Try building the deadd-notification-center-git package, that is up to date with these features.

Cheers

Somehow deadd-notification-center-git gave out this build error

I guess this is a problem with glib but I'm not familiar with haskell, do you have any idea?

[mikenrafter]

If you're on Arch Linux, then Haskell will be a real problem. When building, dynamic linking is enforced. Use ghcup, or nix to circumvent this problem.
Alternatively, the bin version has probably updated since this posting. Give it another go?

[ichirou2910]

Ye I tried the bin version and it works totally fine, it'd be nice if the binary is in the release tab

[phuhl]

The binary is quite out of date I think, also there is still the PR #138 which adds lot's of cool stuff, but also has braking changes.

As I am working full time atm, I won't be able to update the binary. But if someone figures out the build issue and creates a PR for that, I'd gladly review that ;)

Hello, An XMonad, Nix, and Arch user here.
My deadd-notification-center looks quite appealing, and, has some unique styling attributes.
So, take a look! :D
(the <10MB file size limit makes the video encoding sub-par, but it'll do!)

[phuhl]

Sweet, how did you do the notification merging?

You should check out PR #138 (if you can build it) it has a lot more features in terms of scripting notifications! I think, you'd love that!

[mikenrafter]

I used some fancy CSS.

My config has a problem, though, and I think it's due to GTK layering... The delete-all notification button's Z-index is lower than that of the title pieces. So, my relocated button — as seen in that video, is only very rarely clickable. I've relocated it so that the notifications don't move when the button appears.

Hi!
Great job, is there a way to add widgets?(like rss feed or stock ticker?) Something along the lines of how it is in the macos.

[phuhl]

Hi @abhixec,

no, not exactly as a widget, but you can get pretty far by crafting a notification with e.g. notify-send.py. You can add buttons, make it stay in the notification center, update, etc.. If you are very brave, you can even use this Draft: #138 and have a lot more freedom in styling and scripting your notis.

Hope that helps, cheers

[mikenrafter]

Perhaps, using some scripting/styling techniques, you could even modify the "widget"s location, so it'd be indistinguishable from an actual widget?

[christopherbruce]

Would it be possible to get the number of items in the notification center from command line so i can display it in my status bar? or just return a json object similar to dunstctl history?

[phuhl]

Hey @christopherbruce,

that's currently not supported. This is the issue for it: #34

Contributions are always welcome :) I don't have time to build that atm.

Cheers
