Hi, I've been told that xfce4-notifyd-0.2.4 has an option to create notification fade on it's own when a compositor is detected. Meaning even if the compositor is set to not allow the xfce4-notifyd window to fade, it will still fade, overriding the compositor options of 'exclude'. I was further told that this option was removed from xfce4-notifyd. Please add in a ./configure option like; --disable-auto-fade so that the end-user can choose to have this enabled/disabled at compile time. I don't want xfce4-notifyd-0.2.4 to override my composite options that I use with compton, but if I exclude xfce4-notifyd-0.2.4 like this below, it still fades out; ./compton --config /dev/null -f --fade-exclude 'class_g = "Xfce4-notifyd"' That command should cause the xfce4-notifyd popupup notification to not fade out, but it does, because of this auto composite detection and fade on it's own...
Hi, If someone could please give a response to this report, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to work with the developer over this issue, as it could be related to the behaviour of xfce4-notifyd. So if xfce4-notifyd will automaticlly fade on it's own, once it detects a composite manager, even if it's not been asked to do so, then it would be nice if this could be removed, or a compile time option to enable/disalbe, like; --disable-auto-fade --enable-auto-fade thank you
Need a reply please?
I'm a tech & Geek and I've been in Linx, mainly Slackware 15 years, so I know the deal real well for bug reporting. BUT one thing Developers don't seem to get, and this is one PERFECT example, of what's called a 'Lack of End-User Respect'. 2 months since this was posted and 24 hours in a day, and no one has the consideration to take just a few moments and give a reply? 2 months I'm trying to solve an issue, with just one simple reply, to a question; Does xfce4-notifyd-0.2.4 has an option to create notification fade on it's own when a compositor is detected? Can someone PLEASE reply to this? Just remember, this is a report that can also be helping you too, not just for my own benefit... Thank you...
You cannot disable the fading effect in notifyd, it is not optional.
Created attachment 6665 Removes the independent fade-out I had the same issue and it slightly ruined the consistency of my desktop. I managed to get rid of the fade-out by "blindly" removing a few lines from the source. The fade-out effect is gone and it seems to be working fine. However, I have no C programming knowledge and all I did was just approximately remove what I thought was responsible for the fade-out. Either way, it works as a temporary workaround until someone with actual knowledge fixes it.
I have added a hidden option to disable the fadeout: https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-notifyd/commit/?id=0addd8092ca37033bff2e560b5cb6453ca339d7d
Composite fade is still there; $ xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/use_compositing true $ xfconf-query -c xfce4-notifyd -p /do_fadeout true $ xfconf-query -c xfce4-notifyd -p /do_fadeout -T $ xfconf-query -c xfce4-notifyd -p /do_fadeout false $ xfce4-notifyd-config --version | head -1 xfce4-notifyd-config 0.3.0git-20160807git0addd80
Odd, works for me. Did you kill xfce4-notifyd after building and installing it?
Oh, also: the option is called do-fadeout, not do_fadeout.
It can be done with $ systemctl --user restart xfce4-notifyd.service but no need for it, because the change is instantaneous You're right, $ xfconf-query -c xfce4-notifyd -p /do-fadeout false is the one Pardon me
Yeah, we have to distinguish install-time from run-time ;)
No problemo :)
