📦 da-x / xnotify

Originally in Python (2003), rewritten in Rust (2021).

Some code based on Chris Duerr's leechbar.

Invocation example

Appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen, flash for 5 seconds and disappear:

echo -n "I'm a tomato: 🍅" | xnotify -n "normal 30" -l -t 5 -p '%100,%100'

• If right click happens, disappears sooner.
• If dragged - cancels timeout.
