SwayNC

For a more robust notification deamon it's recommended to use SwayNotificationCenter which also provides a notifications center which can be heavily customised.

To install SwayNC:

# xbps-install -Sy SwayNotificationCenter

SwayNC's functionality and looks can be edited through .config/swaync/config.json and .config/swaync/style.css .....

$ cp -r {config-files-repo}/swaync .config/

To use SwayNC make sure it gets started by Wayfire and to be able to toggle it's notification center also bind it in .config/wayfire.ini.

[autostart]
notifications = swaync

[command]
binding_swaync = <super> KEY_TAB
command_swaync = swaync-client -t -sw

Waybar can also be configured to display an icon for when there are unread notifications. In .config/waybar/config add:

        "modules-right": ["bluetooth","battery","tray","custom/notification"],

And

	"custom/notification": {
    	"tooltip": false,
    	"format": "{icon}",
   	"format-icons": {
      	"notification": "⭘<span foreground='red'><sup></sup></span>",
      	"none": "⭘",
      	"dnd-notification": "⭘<span foreground='red'><sup></sup></span>",
      	"dnd-none": "⭘",
      	"inhibited-notification": "⭘<span foreground='red'><sup></sup></span>",
      	"inhibited-none": "⭘",
      	"dnd-inhibited-notification": "⭘<span foreground='red'><sup></sup></span>",
      "dnd-inhibited-none": "⭘"
    },

Mako

For a very minimal notification deamon it's recommended to use Mako. It can be used to display notifications from the session-bus.

To install it.

# xbps-install -Sy mako

Mako may be configured by editing .config/mako/config.

$ cp -r {config-files-repo}/mako .config/

Mako needs to be started by Wayfire in .config/wayfire.ini.

[autostart]
notifications = mako
