====== Dunst ======
Created søndag 25 december 2016

**Dunst is a simple notification - It will catch notifications from **//libnotify //**and display them to the user.**

== Installation ==
$ pacman -S libnotify dunst

**# Start Dunst through your **xinitrc **file**
{{{code: lang="texinfo" linenumbers="True"
dunst &
}}}


== Configuration ==
**# Dunst reads its configuration from **//~/.config/dunst/dunstrc //**(Github)**

== Usage ==
**# Dunst will display **//normal//** and **//low//** urgency messages for 10sec.**
**# **//important//** messages will stick. **

**# mod4 = **//Super-key //
**# To close all notifications**
	mod4+n
	
**# To close 1 notification**
	mod4+Shift+n
	
**# Message History**
	mod4+h
	

===== Create your own notifications! =====
**# You can send messages to **//libnotify//** with the **//notify-send //**command.**
$ notify-send 'Hello world!' 'This is an example notification.' --icon=dialog-information

**# The first string is the **//summary//**, the second is the **//body//**.**
**# This could be placed in a **//.sh//** script somewhere.**

== Urgency ==
**# You can also define the urgency of the message**
**# **//low, normal//** or**// critical//** - only **//critical//** will stay longer than 10sec**
**# append **//-u//** to define the urgency of the message**
$ notify-send 'Hello world!' 'This is an example notification.' -u critical

== Writing notifications as root ==
**# Get your UID - In my case, I had UID **//1000//
$ //id -u //

**# **//-u//** to define which user (**//stick//**)**
**# Also correct the **//UID//** (1000) in the **//path=/run/usr///** string if necessary.**
$ sudo -u stick DISPLAY=:0 DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus notify-send 'Hello world!' 'This is an example notification.'

== Csharp ==
**# Dunst also accepts other languages - like c#**
{{{code: lang="texinfo" linenumbers="True"
using Notifications;
public class HelloWorld {
	static void Main() {
		var Hello = new Notification();
		Hello.Summary  = "Hello world!";
		Hello.Body     = "This is an example notification.";
		Hello.IconName = "dialog-information";
		Hello.Show();
	}
}
}}}


**# This requires a depedency though : **//pacman -S// //notify-sharp-3//
**# This could be placed in a **//.cs//** file somewhere^**
**# You've might noticed the **//IconName//** method**
