Bug request: Integration with system notifications #46

Open swiftgeek opened 11 years ago

swiftgeek commented 11 years ago

Please add support for displaying system notifications in »»»game overlay««« AFAIK This could be reused https://github.com/halhen/statnot Please take advantage of the linux environment ;)

Shortly saying without additional mock-ups, etc GameOverlay should have: • Possibility to group notification from the same app (i just guess that this is doable) • Relative time (eg. "5 minutes ago") • Possibility to limit number / time interval history shown in [shift]+[tab] overlay (by default nothing should be shown there, since we don't want to break steam's "visual compatibility")

Real things that will work / improve user experience while gaming due to this "bug" introduction: • Possibility to see volume/brightness percentage while changing it via shortcuts • See incoming messages from other IMs / e-mails • See warning when battery drops dead • See warning when connections is lost

Also steam's own notification (that exist during non-playing time) should be done by integration with libnotify - which is heavily described on ArchWiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libnotify.

This would be good (currently notifications are kinda broken https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9704, having native notifications would help)

Issue opened for 12+ years. Hope native notification options will be available
