    I ditched dunst a while ago for https://github.com/phuhl/linux_notification_center because it has a built-in notification center.

    Notification daemon: deadd notification center
  • Notification center?
    1 project | /r/xfce | 1 Dec 2021
    Hello, you all I'm trying to create my first ricing, for that, I am using Xfce but I'm struggling with how to manage the notifications, especially the notifications that have already disappeared. I don't know exactly what I'm looking for so I'm open to different approaches. What I'm trying to achieve is to list all the notifications (even if they were clicked) somewhere accessible like the desktop and be able to dismiss them. I've found this but it does not integrate well with Xfce notifications. Thank you all.
