dunst - dmenu-ish notification daemon
=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 highly configurable and lightweight notification daemon.
=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/cb 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>
remove notification by pressing key.
=item B<-all_key key>
remove all notifications by pressing key.
=item B<-history_key key>
redisplay last notification by pressing key.
=item B<-format fmt>
defines the format of the message. See FORMAT.
=item B<-mon n>
show the notification on monitor n.
=item B<-follow mode>
display notifications on focused monitor. Possible options are "mouse" to follow the mouse cursor, "keyboard" to follow the window with the keyboard focus and "none" to disable focus following. "mouse" and "keyboard" overwrite the -mon option.
=item B<-s>
sort messages by urgency.
=item B<-ns>
don't sort messages by urgency.
=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<-lh/-line_height> height
The height of a single line in pixel. If the height is smaller than the font height, it will get raised to the font height.
=item B<-v/--version>
print version information.
=item B<-config file>
use alternative config file.

=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
