This may be of some interest to application porters... I've hacked over the week a bridge from libnotify (and dbus) based notifications to Growl notifications. - Notifications2Growl should be launched at session startup, registers in dbus as a freedesktop notification server; - from the application stand point, nothing change : use libnotify to send notifications; - notifications show up in Growl bubbles. It's available here : http://github.com/elelay/Notifications2Growl It's fairly complete (icons, click callback), lacking only what's not available in Growl : - multiple choices in notification - distinguish between the user dismissing the notification and timeout The code is based upon notification-daemon 0.4.0, available from http://galago-project.org Here is a screenshot taken from gPodder (pygtk quartz) on Tiger. I hope you'll enjoy it ! |
