Post your riced dunst configs

[fwsmit]

The dunst readme could use some nice looking screenshots for its readme. Since some of you probably have spent some time fine-tuning your configs, I thought it would be nice to use those.

So do you have a nice looking dunst config? Please submit. Here are the instructions:

• Open some notification of your choice
• Post a screenshot of your entire desktop and any other screenshots you like
• Also post a link to your dunstrc (you can use gist.github.com for that)

By posting you agree that image can be used in dunst's readme.

2024 update (@bynect)

Dunst has come a long way and I think it would be time to refresh our gallery.
We need a few screenshots to showcase new features, such as gradient colors (highlight can receive a list of colors) & custom rounded corners (corners, progress_bar_corners and icon_corners).

Send your riced configs and you may be featured on our website and/or readme.

The rules above are still valid, but I would like to add that it would be great if
your config used one of the new features mentioned before!

Not sure if I should post mine since it's custom, but I love it so much that I have to share:

Here's the dunstrc and my fork for double borders

[fwsmit]

Thank you for posting, it looks very good. I don't think I'll use this for the readme as it would be confusing to users, but it's a good source of inspiration.

[NNBnh]

This is my attempt

Here is the dunstrc

[MCotocel]

This is my dunst config, with the dunstrc here

[fwsmit]

Thank you for your contributions, those will be very useful for the readme. I find it interesting that you fit your calendar inside of dunst. Why even use another program for that :)

[rosoau]

This is my audio volume pop-up. Changed the hue of blue in /usr/local/bin/dunst

My dunstrc is https://gist.github.com/rosoau/fdfa7b3e37e3c5c67b7dad1b7257236e

[rosoau]

And this is an app that shows a window to configure dunst and save the changes.
(https://gist.github.com/rosoau/5730c667354ff0204217f07dd080175b)
Please replace /home/user with /home/your name

For adding it to the menu a suitable desktop file could be:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Dunst Notifications Settings
Exec=/home/user/.local/bin/dunstrc-config
Terminal=false
Icon=/usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/status/dialog-warning.png
Type=Application
Name[en_AU]=Dunst Notifications Settings
Categories=Settings;

Please modify the "Exec" line with your location of file: dunstrc-config

[fwsmit]

Oh thats awesome. Does it restart Dunst upon saving?

[rosoau]

Great idea fwSmit.I'll update the file. We can add following lines to the end of dunstrc-config:

sleep 1
killall /usr/local/bin/dunst

sleep 1
/usr/local/bin/dunst

[rosoau]

This will start dunst even it was not running before.
Presumably you want to run dunst after editing anyway.
It is also a way to start the application if it is not running via autostart.
For autostart I use 3 seconds delay to avoid the startup bottle-neck.
bash -c "sleep 3 && /usr/local/bin/dunst"
In ### Misc/Advanced ### we can enable the notification on startup:
startup_notification = true
This will prove that dunst has restarted

tint2 & dunst (probably not best way for dict output).
By some reason dunst doesn't display icons from dunstify & notify-send, so I employed utf8 emoji.

[nick87720z]

@rosoau There are apps like fsniper, which could be best way for services auto-restart on config change.

[simanga-dev]

Simple config, My attempt

[biopsin]

Show-off dunst as application dock too

Edit: new image

[shivanshu-semwal]

Here is my dunst config. And this repo contain some scripts I created.

[rosoau]

Oh thats awesome. Does it restart Dunst upon saving?

Great idea fwSmit.I'll update the file. We can add following lines to the end of dunstrc-config:

sleep 1
killall /usr/local/bin/dunst

sleep 1
/usr/local/bin/dunst

I revised the script; so now:

---

#!/bin/bash

killall dunst

zenity --window-icon=/usr/share/icons/applications/not.png --text-info --width=700 --height=700 --ok-label="Save Changes" --title="Configure Notifications" --filename=/home/user.config/dunst/dunstrc --editable > /home/user/.config/dunst/dunstrc-new

if [ -s /home/user/.config/dunst/dunstrc-new ]
then
mv /home/user/.config/dunst/dunstrc-new /home/test/.config/dunst/dunstrc
killall dunstrc-config
fi
exit

---

Dunst will start by itself, but needs to be stopped first, so it can start with the new configuration.
The process; dunstrc-config seems to hang in so it needs to be stopped.
The icon not.png is in a special folder; instead we could use:
/usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/emblems/emblem-important.png
or a smaller size of that icon. There are all sizes in gnome icons

Dunst config itself is pretty simple, in the gist there is also a picom config for background blur.

Here is a screenshot of some of my notifications. (i'll link my dunstrc once i've uploaded all my configs to my repo)

Hi @m2x07, I really like your modifications.
Could you provide the dunstrc snippets for this, please?

Hi @m2x07, I really like your modifications. Could you provide the dunstrc snippets for this, please?

hi @borg1622 i appreciate that you loved my configs. unfortunately, due to some reason i've stopped ricing and now i use a normal DE. with a previous clean install, my configs were all wiped out and i also forgot to take a backup. however, i can provide some information on how you could achieve a similar look.
FONTS: JetBrainsMono Nerd fonts from nerdfonts.com.
ICONS: Customized PNGs from Pictogrammers
and the arrow icon you see, is a symbol from nerd font.
I might do some ricing in future, so we can connect on github so that you can access my configs once i upload them.
Hope that helps.

I edited the main comment to say this, but I'll repeat.
I think it is time to refresh our gallery with some new images showcasing the new features.

Everyone can share their ricing and it may be added to the website/readme

See #1289 for a list of changes

[bynect]

I tried to make a showcase screenshot and posted it to the website

[fwsmit]

Maybe it's also good to have some more zoomed in screenshots of just notifications

[redoxahmii]

@bynect drop the dunstrc looks good

Its on dunst-project.org in the showcase section 👍

[Yutsuten]

Not sure if it worth becoming showcase, but here it goes, anyway. It is using a gradient in the highlight.

Configuration: In my repository

Originally I would let the summary be bigger, but due to #1416 I changed it for now.

Edit: Now using the fix in v1.12.1

Configuration: In my repository

I released the v1.12.1 with height fix. If you want send the original size

Pywal on everything including dunst. Currently on a monochrome kick.

Very nice. I would like to add it to the website if it's ok for you. But can you send the dunstrc. Ideally this would use dunstctl reload
