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
