====== Xfce4-notifyd Notification service ======

===== Introduction =====
Xfce4-notifyd is a notification service for the Xfce Desktop that implements //most of// the "server-side" portion of the Freedesktop desktop notifications specification. Applications that wish to pop up a notification bubble in
a standard way can make use of the xfce4-notifyd service by sending standard messages over D-Bus using the ''org.freedesktop.Notifications'' interface. [[https://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec|Read the specification here.]]

=== Settings ===

Several new features have been added in Xfce's Notification service, including a notifications log, the possibility to disable notifications per application, a global 'Do Not Disturb' mode, which inhibits all notifications, and finally a new animation ('slide out').
