I've been debugging notification with developers of pasystray and they claim it should not only show progressbar, but also summary text. However it seems to not work with xfce4-notifyd. They send notification basically like this: notify-send -i audio-volume-medium -h int:value:100 text But it only causes volume bar to show, but not the text. It's especially important as pulseaudio volume can be more than 100% and then volume bar itself is not usefull. Also sometimes i want to set exactly 100% and it's hard, because i can't easily tell it from 99% or 101%. Can you make it possible to show numeric percentage besides of bar? Thanks
I quickly investigated this issue and generally speaking it handles the "x-canonical-private-icon-only" hint correctly. However, if the "value" hint is supplied, which is btw not part of the standard hints as defined in the spec (https://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec/#hints), it also only shows a gauge. The following three lines of code are responsible for this behavior, which I presume, is by design: https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-notifyd/tree/xfce4-notifyd/xfce-notify-window.c?id=xfce4-notifyd-0.2.4#n1089 I understand this is useful in the context of PulseAudio, but obviously notifyd was not written with these (I'd say: corner) cases in mind. It also caps the values between 0 and 100: https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-notifyd/tree/xfce4-notifyd/xfce-notify-window.c?id=xfce4-notifyd-0.2.4#n1083 Do you have examples of how other notification daemons handle this scenario (plus the generic/general audio/value notifications)?
