Notification : dunst

Are you running something able to act on notification requests from programs, e.g. dunst (which is what i use)?

You can use dunst for notifications, minimal and lightweight. I use it for my volume and brightness control along with sxhkd. dunst Hope this helps.

I came across this screenshot on the GitHub page for dunst (https://github.com/dunst-project/dunst) and couldn't help but admire the underline/bottom border they had on their i3blocks. Does anyone have any idea how this could be done?

you are right

Notification Deamon: dunst

Dunst isn't providing those either. I didn't find any mention of headphones or such notifications in the dunst source code. In fact the devs refused to add by-default notifications for audio devices in dunst. Probably some other source is providing those.

I had more problems with it being wide, merging all app windows in a single icon, showing only icon rather then app title, and not being able to move to top of screen

That may be fixed with https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher which restores win10 bar, there's no builtin solution to any of the above afaik

Thanks for letting me know. I looked into it, and apparently it's still even possible to activate on later versions of Windows with registry edits and helper software: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/discussions/167

Not going to install something that seems so vague, but I do use ExplorerPatcher [1] on my Windows 11 machines to basically re-create Windows 10 UI and fix all of the annoyances I have with Windows 11. I've got the old right click menu, the old task bar, the old alt-tab interface, pretty much the whole thing. Only reason I use Windows 11 over Windows 10 is because Windows 11 seems to handle my triple monitor setup better, especially when waking up from sleep.

ExplorerPatcher is another alternative, is free and is awesome. That said, I settled for SAB because I liked, so I decided to show some love to the developer. My son liked better ExplorerPatcher, so there's that... you can always find options for everyone.

I use the start menu app list and hate how you can’t get that instantly on windows 11 (there’s a button you have to click). I used this program to restore the windows 10 start menu that has been tweaked to look more like windows 11. The only problem I have is that some programs don’t appear. You can still search them, but they aren’t in the list. You could probably drop your own shortcuts in there if it bothers you. Another tweak is the context/right click menu. There's a program that, instead of simple tweaks that restore windows 10 menu or windows 11 "show more options", it is a customizable one more similar to the original windows 11 menu. However, it is not for everyone and there are some extra menus that are added when installed that can be deleted.

TronScript close itself after "Launch Job 'ProcessKiller'...". Can ExplorerPatcher by valinet (https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher) be the problem?

My Win 11 computer looks exactly like 10 after using this free app https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher
