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/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>
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<-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<-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
