Dunst: Post your riced dunst configs

Created on 13 Feb 2021  路  10Comments  路  Source: dunst-project/dunst

The dunst readme could use some nice looking screenshots for its readme. Since some of you probably have spent some time fine-tuning your configs, I thought it would be nice to use those.

So do you have a nice looking dunst config? Please submit. Here are the instructions:

  • Open some notification of your choice
  • Post a screenshot of your entire desktop
  • Submit that screenshot here
  • Also post a link to your dunstrc (you can use gist.github.com for that)

By posting you agree that image can be used in dunst's readme.

Thank you for your contributions, those will be very useful for the readme. I find it interesting that you fit your calendar inside of dunst. Why even use another program for that :)

Not sure if I should post mine since it's custom, but I love it so much that I have to share:

Here's the dunstrc and my fork for double borders

Thank you for posting, it looks very good. I don't think I'll use this for the readme as it would be confusing to users, but it's a good source of inspiration.

This is my attempt

This is my audio volume pop-up. Changed the hue of blue in /usr/local/bin/dunst

My dunstrc is https://gist.github.com/rosoau/fdfa7b3e37e3c5c67b7dad1b7257236e

And this is an app that shows a window to configure dunst and save the changes.
(https://gist.github.com/rosoau/5730c667354ff0204217f07dd080175b)
Please replace /home/user with /home/your name

For adding it to the menu a suitable desktop file could be:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Dunst Notifications Settings
Exec=/home/user/.local/bin/dunstrc-config
Terminal=false
Icon=/usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/status/dialog-warning.png
Type=Application
Name[en_AU]=Dunst Notifications Settings

Categories=Settings;

Please modify the "Exec" line with your location of file: dunstrc-config


Configure Notifications_002

Oh thats awesome. Does it restart Dunst upon saving?

Great idea fwSmit.I'll update the file. We can add following lines to the end of dunstrc-config:

sleep 1
killall /usr/local/bin/dunst

sleep 1
/usr/local/bin/dunst

This will start dunst even it was not running before.
Presumably you want to run dunst after editing anyway.
It is also a way to start the application if it is not running via autostart.
For autostart I use 3 seconds delay to avoid the startup bottle-neck.
bash -c "sleep 3 && /usr/local/bin/dunst"
In ### Misc/Advanced ### we can enable the notification on startup:
startup_notification = true
This will prove that dunst has restarted
