Lightweight notification daemon with highly customizable layout blocks, written in Rust.

---

Wired

Wired is light and fully customizable notification daemon that provides you with powerful and extensible layout tools.

Features

• Layout - position every element how you want it, see wiki for more info.
• Programmable Layout Elements - code your own or use layout elements from wired and contributors (accepting pull requests!).
  • Text blocks which scroll.
  • Backgrounds which reflect state (paused, active, extended, etc).
  • More soon.
• First Class Mouse Actions - close, pause, and open urls within a notification with a click.
  • Open an issue if you have ideas of more actions.
• Every notification is a different window - pretty sick of stuff only being able to show one notification at a time honestly.

Making your own elements

Making your own layout elements is designed to be as easy as possible. Anybody who knows basic Rust should be able to make a layout element. See the wiki for a detailed tutorial on making and adding a layout element to Wired.

Wiki

See the wiki for everything else you need to know about using Wired.

Wired pretty much finished, but there are a few things I'd like:

There's a bunch of things that aren't done yet; here's a non-exhaustive version of the TODO list:

• Make config not as painful.
• Allow hex colors in config.
• %t for time, etc, in text blocks.
• Lookup application icons via .desktop file
• Support replaces_id functionality.
• More options surrounding notification urgency.
• Notification follows active monitor.
• Tests...
• Random html escape code edge cases.
