NAMEdunst - a customizable and lightweight notification-daemon SYNOPSISdunst [-conf file] [-verbosity v] [-print] [--startup_notification] DESCRIPTIONDunst is a highly configurable and lightweight notification daemon. Autostarting dunstOn most installations, dunst should be able to automatically be started by D-Bus when a notification is sent. This is not recommended when multiple notification daemons are installed, because D-Bus will not know which one to start. Other ways of autostarting dunst include starting dunst with your desktop environment or window manager's autostart functionality or via the provided systemd service. COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
DEPRECATED OPTIONSOld version of dunst allowed changing the colors of different urgencies through command line options. This has been long removed in favour of RULES, see issue #328.
CONFIGURATIONA default configuration file is included (usually /usr/local/etc/dunst/dunstrc) and serves as the least important configuration file. Note: this was previously /usr/local/share/dunst/dunstrc. You can edit this file to change the system-wide defaults or copy it to a more important location to override its settings. See the FILES section for more details on where dunst searches for its configuration files and how settings get applied. See dunst(5) for all possible settings. NOTIFY-SEND HINTSDunst is able to get different colors for a message via notify-send. In order to do that you have to add a hint via the -h option. The progress value can be set with a hint, too. See dunst(5) for the list of accepted hints. Some examples: notify-send -h string:fgcolor:#ff4444 notify-send -h string:bgcolor:#4444ff -h string:fgcolor:#ff4444 -h string:frcolor:#44ff44 notify-send -h int:value:42 "Working ..." MISCELLANEOUSDunst can be paused via the `dunstctl set-paused true` command. To unpause dunst use `dunstctl set-paused false`. Another way is to send SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 to pause and unpause respectively. Pausing using dunstctl is recommended over using signals, because the meaning of the signals isn't stable and might change in the future. When paused, dunst won't display any notifications, but keeps all notifications in a queue. This can for example be wrapped around a screen locker (i3lock, slock) to prevent flickering of notifications through the lock, and to read all missed notifications after returning to the computer. FILESThese are the base directories dunst searches for configuration files in descending order of importance:
Dunst will search these directories for the following relative file paths:
Only settings from the last base config the corresponding drop-ins get applied. So if a dunstrc is first found in ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc, drop-ins will be searched in ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc.d/*. Settings in more important files override those in less important ones.
