ktm

ktm (a.k.a. kill the messenger!) is a configurable notification daemon with queues and history display

This project has been originally fork from https://github.com/the-isz/notipy

Many thanks to its author!

The following documentation has been taken from the notipy project, and is meant to be changed

ktm (aka kill the messenger!) is an implementation of the http://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec/[Desktop Notification Specification]. It shows message popups using gtk3, allowing for pango marked up message bodies and icons that can be specified in various ways.

The design goals of notipy include a minimalistic implementation (following the unix philosophy "do one thing and do it well") and having as little as possible dependencies.

Installation

ktm requires the following libraries to work:

  • gtk3
  • pygobject
  • dbus-python

Installation is simply done via:

./deployment/setup.py install

Configuration

Until now, ktm is configured exclusively via command-line arguments. These can be listed via the --help command-line option:

usage: ktm.py [-h] [-l {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}] [-t EXPIRETIMEOUT] [-m MARGINS]
                 [-a {NORTH_WEST,SOUTH_WEST,SOUTH_EAST,NORTH_EAST}] [-d {VERTICAL,HORIZONTAL}]

A notification server implementing the specification from http://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec/.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -l {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}, --loglevel {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}
                        set the logging level (default: WARNING)
  -t EXPIRETIMEOUT, --expire-timeout EXPIRETIMEOUT
                        set the maximum/default timeout for notifications in [ms] (default: 10000)
  -m MARGINS, --margins MARGINS
                        set screen margins for top, right, bottom and left side of the screen in pixels (default: 0,0,0,0)
  -a {NORTH_WEST,SOUTH_WEST,SOUTH_EAST,NORTH_EAST}, --layout-anchor {NORTH_WEST,SOUTH_WEST,SOUTH_EAST,NORTH_EAST}
                        set the origin for the notifications (default: NORTH_EAST)
  -d {VERTICAL,HORIZONTAL}, --layout-direction {VERTICAL,HORIZONTAL}
                        set the direction for the notifications (default: VERTICAL)
