DNOTIFY(1) DNOTIFY(1)
NAME
dunst - dmenu-ish universal notification system
SYNOPSIS
dunst [-geometry geom] [-fn font] [-nb color] [-nf color] [-to secs] [-key key] [-mod modifier] [-mon n]
DESCRIPTION
dunst is a lightweight notification-daemon for the libnotify. It can also be used as a standalone notification system. Dnotify displays messages received via dbus or as commandline argu
ment in a fashion similar to dmenu and additionally prints them to stdout. Notifications can be closed via mouseclick.
OPTIONS
-h/--help
display help message.
-fn/ font
defines the font or font set used.
-nb/-bg color
defines the background color. #RGB, #RRGGBB and X color names are supported.
-nf/-fg color
defines the background color.
-msg msg
display msg instead of listening to notifications. This option can be used multiple times.
-to secs
display each message for secs seconds.
-key key
close window by pressing key [a,b,space,Return etc.] (should be used in combination with -mod).
-mod modifier
defines the modifier for the key. Available modifiers are: ctrl,shift,mod1 (usually the alt-key),mod2,mod3,mod4 (usually windows key). This option can be used multiple times to
combine modifiers.
-mon n show the notification on monitor n.
-mon [[<width>]x<height>][+/-<X>+/-<y>]
The geometry of the message window. The height is measured in lines everything else in pixels. If the width is omitted but the height is given ("-geometry x2"), the message window
expands over the whole screen (dmenu-like). If width is 0, the window expands to the longest message displayed. A positive x is measured from the left, a negative from the right
side of the screen. Y is measured from the top and down respectevly. see also EXAMPLES show the notification on monitor n.
EXAMPLES
dunst -geometry x2 Displays a maximum of two lines across the top of the screen.
dunst -geometry x3+0-0
Displays a maximum of three the lines across the bottom of the screen.
dunst -geometry 0x3-30+20
Displays a maximum of three lines 30 pixels away from the right border and 20 pixels away from the top with adaptive size.
dunst -geometry 100x3-30+20
Displays a maximum of three lines 30 pixels away from the right border and 20 pixels away from the top with a width of 100 pixels.
