Dunst
Dunst is a lightweight notification daemon for X11 and Wayland. This folder contains the config that defines where and how notifications appear and how they look.
What the config does
- Global behaviour
- Notifications on monitor 1, top-right, with offset; follow mouse.
- Size: width 350px, padding, rounded corners (10px), progress bar with min/max width and corner radius.
- Font: Maple Mono 10; bold title (12pt); markup enabled; stacking of duplicates with history (20), sticky history.
- Mouse: left/middle = action or close, right = close all.
- Urgency
- Low/normal: dark background (
#070C0D), cyan text (#8dddea), 5s timeout. - Critical: same style with accent frame, 1000s timeout.
- Low/normal: dark background (
- Hints
[volume]and[backlight]use custom app names and highlight colours for volume/backlight notifications.
- Experimental
- Per-monitor DPI for sharper text on mixed-DPI setups.
How to use it
- Ensure Dunst is installed (
dunst). - Symlink or copy this folder to
~/.config/dunst/(or setXDG_CONFIG_HOMEaccordingly). - Icons are expected under
~/.local/share/icons/dunst/; create or symlink if you use icons. - Start Dunst (e.g.
dunst &). On Hyprland/Sway it’s often started in the compositor’s autostart (e.g.exec-once = dunst).
