Notifications

HyprDynamicMonitors can show desktop notifications when configuration changes occur. Notifications are sent via D-Bus using the standard org.freedesktop.Notifications interface.

Configuration

[notifications]
disabled = false      # Enable/disable notifications (default: false)
timeout_ms = 10000   # Notification timeout in milliseconds (default: 10000)

Disabling Notifications

To disable notifications completely:

[notifications]
disabled = true

Customizing Timeout

To show brief notifications (3 seconds):

[notifications]
timeout_ms = 3000

For longer notifications (15 seconds):

[notifications]
timeout_ms = 15000

What Gets Notified

Notifications are shown when:

• A new monitor configuration profile is applied
• The monitor configuration changes
• Profile switching occurs

The notification includes:

• The name of the profile being applied
• Basic information about the configuration change

Requirements

Notifications require:

• Write access to system D-Bus (should be default on most systems)
• A notification daemon running (e.g., dunst, mako, or desktop environment's built-in notification system)

Alternative: Custom Callbacks

If you want more control over notifications, consider using callbacks instead:

[general]
post_apply_exec = "notify-send 'HyprDynamicMonitors' 'Profile applied successfully'"

This allows you to:

• Customize notification text
• Use different notification tools
• Add additional actions or scripts
