Notification
|
|
|
|
This module provide a notification daemon for E.
|
|
It implements the galago specification :
|
|
http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/index.html
|
|
|
|
You can be notified in two ways, by popups or by icons. Popups are the usual way
|
|
of notifying, you can configure where they should appear and some other options
|
|
in E's configuration panel -> extensions -> notification. Notification box is a
|
|
gadget with the same style as ibox and go into a shelf. If an event occur the
|
|
image associated with the event (or this modules's logo if none) will appear
|
|
inside the box. A click on it will try to focus the source application of the
|
|
event, by matching the "application name" field with any windows class/name.
|
|
Configure a notification box is done by right clicking on it and selecting
|
|
"configuration".
|
|
|
|
By configuring which level of urgency popups and box should show, you can avoid
|
|
having both showing up everytime.
|
|
|
|
The icon displayed in the box may be ugly and aliased. It's due to the fact that
|
|
some apps use really small icons. An easy way to fix this is to make sure that
|
|
the application doesn't send a pixbuf but a path to the icon instead. And if this
|
|
icon is too small, replace it by a bigger one.
|
|
|
|
If you want to fire up a notification and make the module focus an application,
|
|
the easiest way is to use e-notify-send (in e_dbus if built with enotify) like
|
|
in this example:
|
|
e-notify-send -n classname_of_your_app -i "file:///path/to/an/icon" "foo" "bar"
