Re: Best volume indicator OSD for linux
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2018 8:38 pm
Anyway if someone stumbles on this thread looking for a more flexible alternative to notify-osd, xfce-nofyd is what I'm using right now. This is a screenshot that shows a preview of its design (https://image.ibb.co/mQe9Fn/2018_02_18_ ... _scrot.png)
It is an alternative notification service that works over full screen applications and can be customized through the xfce4-notifyd-config (you may have to install it first if you haven't done it yet and want to tweak the xfce notification service).
If, after you have installed xfce-notifyd, your linux os is still starting notify-osd by default (you may have to restart the system after the installation) you can rename the notify-osd's service file so to prevent its execution
and make sure org.xfce.xfce4-notifyd.Notifications.service is in that same folder (/usr/share/dbus-1/services), if not, just create it with leafpad or your editor of choice
