Ubuntu Manpage: fnott - configuration file

NAME

       fnott - configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       fnott  uses  the  standard  unix  configuration  format,  with section based key/value pairs. The default
       (global) section is unnamed (i.e. not prefixed with a [section]). However it can also be explicitly named
       [main], say if it needs to be reopened after any of the other sections.

       fnott will search for a configuration file in the following locations, in this order:

       •   XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fnott/fnott.ini (defaulting to
            ~/.config/fnott/fnott.ini if unset)
       •   XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/fnott/fnott.ini (defaulting to
            /etc/xdg/fnott/fnott.ini if unset)

SECTION: default

Global options
output
The output to display notifications on. If left unspecified, the compositor will choose one for us.

Note that if you do not specify an output, and the output chosen by the compositor is scaled, then
each new notification will flash a low-res frame before re-rendering with the correct scale factor.
This is because fnott has no way of knowing what the scale factor is until after the notification has
been mapped (i.e. shown).

Default: unspecified.

In Sway, you can use swaymsg -t get_outputs to get a list of available outputs.

min-width
Minimum notification width, in pixels. Default: 0.

max-width
Maximum notification width, in pixels. 0 means unlimited. Note that fnott will automatically word-
wrap the notification text if set to a non-zero value. Default: 0.

max-height
Maximum notification height, in pixels. 0 means unlimited. Default: 0.

icon-theme
Icon theme to use when a notification has requested an non-embedded icon. Default: hicolor.

max-icon-size
Maximum icon size, in pixels. Icons larger than this will be scaled down. Default: 32.

stacking-order
How to stack multiple notifications.

• bottom-up : oldest, highest priority furthest away from the anchor point.
• top-down: oldest, highest priority at the anchor point.

Thus, if the notifications are anchored at the top, bottom-up will have the most recent notification
in the upper corner, while the oldest notification is in the bottom of the stack.

Default: bottom-up.

anchor
Where notifications are positioned: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right or center.
Default: top-right.

edge-margin-vertical
Vertical margin, in pixels, between the screen edge (top or bottom, depending on anchor pointer) and
notifications. Default: 10.

edge-margin-horizontal
Horizontal margin, in pixels, between the screen edge (left or right, depending on anchor pointer)
and notifications. Default: 10.

notification-margin
Margin between notifications. Default: 10.

selection-helper
Command (and optionally arguments) to execute to display actions and let the user select an action to
run.

The utility should accept (action) entries to display on stdin (newline separated), and write the
selected entry on stdout.

It is strongly recommended that you enable selection-helper-uses-null-separator (see below), if your
helper of choice supports it.

Default: dmenu.

selection-helper-uses-null-separator
Boolean. When enabled, the action strings passed to the selection helper will be NULL separated,
instead of newline separated.

Note that you may also have to adjust selection-helper, to ensure the selection helper parses the
action strings correctly. For example, instead of fuzzel --dmenu, you would have to use fuzzel
--dmenu0.

Default: no.

play-sound
Command to execute to play notification sounds. ${filename} will be expanded to the path to the audio
file to play. Default: aplay ${filename}.

scaling-filter

Which scaling filter to use when scaling non-SVG notification images.

Possible values are:
• none
• nearest
• bilinear
• cubic
• lanczos3

none is the fastest, but also looks the worst. lanczos3 produces the best result, but is also, by
far, the slowest option.

Default: lanczos3

Per-urgency default options
These options can also be specified in an urgency section, in which case they override the values
specified in the default section.

layer
Layer on which notifications will appear: background, bottom, top or overlay. Default: top.

background
Background color of the notification, in RGBA format. Default: 3f5f3fff.

border-color
Border color of the notification, in RGBA format. Default: 909090ff.

border-radius
Corner radius on the border in pixels. Default: 0.

border-size
Border size, in pixels. Default: 1.

padding-vertical
Vertical padding, in pixels, between the notification edge (top or bottom) and notification text.
Default: 20.

padding-horizontal
Horizontal padding, in pixels, between the notification edge (left or right) and notification text.
Default: 20.

dpi-aware
Boolean.

When set to yes, fonts are sized using the monitor's DPI, making a font of a given size have the same
physical size, regardless of monitor.

In this mode, the monitor's scaling factor is ignored; doubling the scaling factor will not double
the font size.

When set to no, the monitor's DPI is ignored. The font is instead sized using the monitor's scaling
factor; doubling the scaling factor does double the font size.

Note that this option typically does not work with bitmap fonts, which only contains a pre-defined
set of sizes, and cannot be dynamically scaled. Whichever size (of the available ones) that best
matches the DPI or scaling factor, will be used.

Also note that if the font size has been specified in pixels (:pixelsize=N, instead of :size=N), DPI
scaling (dpi-aware=yes) will have no effect (the specified pixel size will be used as is). But, if
the monitor's scaling factor is used to size the font (dpi-aware=no), the font's pixel size will be
multiplied with the scaling factor.

Default: no

title-font
Font to use for the application title, in fontconfig format (see FONT FORMAT). Default: sans serif.

title-color
Text color to use for the application title, in RGBA format. Default: ffffffff.

title-format
Template string for the title portion of the notification (see FORMAT STRINGS). Default: <i>%a%A</i>.

summary-font
Font to use for the summary, in fontconfig format (see FONT FORMAT). Default: sans serif.

summary-color
Text color to use for the summary, in RGBA format. Default: ffffffff.

summary-format
Template string for the summary portion of the notification (see FORMAT STRINGS). Default:
<b>%s\n</b>.

body-font
Font to use for the text body, in fontconfig format (see FONT FORMAT). Default: sans serif.

body-color
Text color to use for the text body, in RGBA format. Default: ffffffff.

body-format
Template string for the body portion of the notification (see FORMAT STRINGS). Default: %b.

progress-bar-height
Height, in pixels, of progress bars (rendered when a notification has an int:value hint). Default:
20.

progress-bar-color
Color, in RGBA format, of progress bars. Default: ffffffff.

max-timeout
Time limit, in seconds, before notifications are automatically dismissed. Applications can provide
their own timeout when they create a notification. This option can be used to limit that timeout. A
value of 0 disables the limit. Default: 0.

default-timeout
Time, in seconds, before notifications are automatically dismissed if the notifying application does
not specify a timeout. A value of 0 disables the timeout. I.e. if the application does not provide a
timeout, the notification is never automatically dismissed (unless max-timeout has been set).
Default: 0.

idle-timeout
Time, in seconds, that you must be idle to prevent any notification from being dismissed. A value of
0 disables the timeout. Default: 0.

sound-file
Absolute path to audio file to play when a notification is received. If unset, no sound is played.
Default: unset.

icon
Icon to use when none is provided by the notifications themselves. Can be either an absolute path, or
a name (without extension).

In the latter case, it will be searched for in the selected icon theme, using the fallback rules
defined by the XDG icon theme specification.

Default: unset.

SECTION: low

       This section allows you to override the options listed under per-urgency default options for low priority
       notifications.

       By default, the following options are already overridden:

       •   background: 2b2b2bff
       •   title-color 888888ff
       •   summary-color: 888888ff
       •   body-color: 888888ff

SECTION: normal

       This  section  allows  you  to  override  the options listed under per-urgency default options for normal
       priority notifications.

       By default, the following options are already overridden: none.

SECTION: critical

       This section allows you to override the options listed under per-urgency  default  options  for  critical
       priority notifications.

       By default, the following options are already overridden:

       •   background: 6c3333ff

FONT FORMAT

       The  font  is  specified  in  FontConfig  syntax.  That  is, a colon-separated list of font name and font
       options.

       Examples:
       •   Dina:weight=bold:slant=italic
       •   Courier New:size=12

FORMAT STRINGS

       The title-format, summary-format and body-format options allow you to configure what to display  for  the
       corresponding portion of the notification.

       They are strings with placeholders that are expanded with attributes from the notification:

       •   %a  application name
       •   %s  notification summary
       •   %b  notification body text
       •   %A  action indicator ('*' if actions are present, empty string otherwise)
       •   %%  a literal '%'
       •   \n  a literal newline

       Also supported are the following markup tags:

       •   <b>  bold
       •   <i>  italic
       •   <u>  underline
