dunst -verbose not working #205

Closed eike2013 closed 9 years ago

eike2013 commented 9 years ago

Hi there, im trying out dunst since a few days and it somehow seems to ignore my ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc since the Transparency=50% takes no effect. So i tried the verbose option, but don't know where to output should appear since dunst is called by notify-send automatically via /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.knobwob.dunst.service) In the screenshot you'll see the notifications but no transparency. I need the verbose output to determine the program names and afterwards create configs for them (e.g. to replace the volume notifications instead of stacking them). Can someone reproduce the problem? 2014-12-04_11 06 10

As far as I understand the man page, there is no "-verbose" switch... What you probably want is "-print" combined with redirecting the output to a file.

According to knopwob there's one: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1297883#p1297883

The verbose mode has since been removed.

You need to have a composition window manager running in order to use the transparency feature. Maybe this can help https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3279/do-i-need-a-composite-manager-compton/

I'll close this for now. Feel free to reopen, if the missing composition manager is not the problem.

Ok thanks for your help. Learning never stops! But i'll stick with i3 and forget the transparency. OFFTOPIC: Is there an option for updating existing notifications instead of stacking them? See my screenshot with the volume notifications. It would be way better if only one notification shows the current volume. Thanks
