| ===== Freedesktop.org Notifications specification ===== | ===== Freedesktop.org Notifications specification ===== |

| For the most part, xfce4-notifyd is compliant with the fd.o notifications specification. However there are also some features which it lacks, e.g. persistency or sound. The following section will try to give an overview. | For the most part, xfce4-notifyd is compliant with the [[https://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec|freedesktop.org's notifications specification]]. However, there are also some features which are not currently supported (e.g. sound). Another example is "urgency", which is only implicitly supported by checking the expire-timeout. |
| | |
| | The following table provides an overview of the features of the specification supported by the xfce4-notifyd service. |
| | |
| | <note>Please note that the [[https://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec/#basic-design|"default action"]], which is usually triggered by clicking a notification bubble **is not implemented** in xfce4-notifyd. Clicking a notification instead closes it. If applications want to provide actions they have to specify the tuple of action-id and action for a button to be shown in the bubble.</note> |
