Waynot

Waynot is a notification tool designed for use with Waybar, providing a seamless way to display notifications from the D-Bus notification system in a minimalist environment, such as Hyprland. It captures notification events and sends them to Waybar, updating the display in real-time.

Installation

To use Waynot, clone the repository and make the scripts executable:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/waynot.git
cd waynot
chmod +x waynot waynot-daemon

Usage

Starting the Daemon

You need to run the waynot-daemon script to listen for notifications on D-Bus. You can configure this to run automatically when you start your session in Hyprland:

exec-once path/to/waynot-daemon &

Waybar Configuration

Add the following configuration to your Waybar configuration file to integrate with Waynot:

"custom/waynot": {
    "exec": "waynot post",
    "format": "{}",
    "return-type": "json",
    "signal": 1
},

CSS Styles

You can add custom styles for your notifications in your Waybar style.css file:

#custom-waynot {
    color: #ffffff;
    animation-name: waynot;
    animation-duration: 1000ms;
    animation-timing-function: linear;
    animation-iteration-count: infinite;
    animation-direction: alternate;
}

@keyframes waynot {
    to {
        color: #f3afa9;
    }
}

How It Works

1. The waynot-daemon listens for notifications via D-Bus.
2. When a notification is received, it extracts the title and message.
3. The information is then sent to the waynot script, which formats it and updates Waybar.
4. Notifications are automatically cleared after a defined timeout (default is 3 seconds).

Customization

You can customize the appearance and behavior of the notifications by modifying the TRUNC variable in the waynot script.
