Dunst Notification Daemon
Posted: Sun 26 Jan 2020, 18:00
Recent Woof-CE Puppies have this Dunst desktop notification daemon included and it is running as a daemon.
https://dunst-project.org
I have compiled version 1.4.1 in Bionic, Stretch and Xenial which is newer that the ones included and offers some improvements in performance and appearance. I have also made some enhancements to the configuration file at /root/.config/dunst/dunstrc including icon paths and rounded corners, but users can make alterations to this as desired anyway. I have enabled the Dunst startup message so it announces itself.
These small .pet packages are uploaded to:-

Restart X after installation.
I was wondering though, do people find this useful and have people seen it actually do very much? It does provide some notifications from DeaDBeeF and Transmission but these are mostly just repeats of messages which can be seen within the program GUI as well.
The original Puppy concept was to keep things small and keep resource use to a minimum, but nowadays and moving forward is Dunst worth having on-board?
