dunst - dmenu-ish universal notification system

=head1 SYNOPSIS

dunst [-geometry geom] [-fn font] [-nf/nb/lf/lb/cf/cb color] 
[-to/nto/lto/cto secs] [-format fmt] [-key key] [-mod mod] [-mon n] [-v]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

dunst is a lightweight notification-daemon for the libnotify. dunst
displays messages received via dbus or as commandline argument in a
fashion similar to dmenu.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<-h/--help> 

display help message.

=item B<-fn font>

defines the font or font set used.

=item B<-lb/nb/cg color>

defines the background color of low/normal/critical messages.

=item B<-lf/nf/cf color>

defines the foreground color of low/normal/critical messages.

=item B<-to secs>

defines the default timeout. Can be (partially) overridden by
the following options.

=item B<-lto/nto/cto secs>

timeouts for low/normal/critical messages.

=item B<-key key>

close window by pressing key. See also -mod.

=item B<-mod modifier>

defines the modifier used in conjunction with -key. Available
modifiers are: ctrl, shift, mod1-mod4. This option can be used
multiple times to combine modifiers.

=item B<-format fmt>

defines the format of the message. See FORMAT.

=item B<-mon n>

show the notification on monitor n.

=item B<-geometry [{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.

=item B<-v>

Increase verbosity. Can be used multiple times.

=head1 FORMAT

fmt is a string containing placeholders. The placeholders will be replaced with the corresponding text, or if the text is not present, nothing. Possible placeholders are:

=over 4

=item B<%a>  appname

=item B<%s>  summary

=item B<%b>  body

=item B<%i>  iconname (including its path)

=item B<%I>  iconname (without its path)

=back

=head1 COLORS

Every option that needs a color as argument accepts #RGB, #RRGGBB and
X color names.


=head1 NOTIFY-SEND

dunst 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.

=over 4

=item notify-send -h string:fgcolor:#ff4444

=item notify-send -h string:bgcolor:#4444ff -h string:fgcolor:#ff4444
