frame_color issue
~/.config/dunst/dunstrc
[global] separator_height = 5 separator_color = auto / frame # same result with the 2 options *** EDIT - correction: separator_color = auto / foreground
When setting a different frame_color in the [global] and [urgency_low/normal/critical] sections, and issuing a series of notifications with:
notify-send [-u low/normal/critical] "123" "ABC"
only the first notification's frames (top, bottom, left, right) are displayed with the correct frame_color.
Once other notifications pop-up, each additional notification is missing the correct top frame_color.
Is this a bug?

I'm not sure I understand what the issue is here. Could you post your full dunstrc, what color are you seeing and what are you expecting to see?
(edited a typo in the first post).
I'm expecting each notification to be displayed with its 4 border's dedicated frame_color.
dunstrc.txt (added the txt suffix to upload the file)
separator_color = auto
separator_color = foreground
I just got some time to test this and now I get what you mean. separator_color = frame will use the color of the topmost notification.
It's not really a bug but a hastily made compromise for code clarity. I'm open to adding an option of using half the separator for the top notification frame color and the other half for the bottom one as I think you expect it do.
How about making it a real separator, like:
|............................................................| |.................upper notification................| |............................................................| |--------------- bottom border --------------| ------------------ separator ------------------ |------------------ top border ----------------| |.............................................................| |...................lower notification................| |.............................................................|
@fwsmit I noticed some inconsistencies with the frame coloring so I wanted to implement a more well defined behavior

Where the yellow are the notification frames, the purple is a (optional) "window" frame and red is the separator.
What is people don't want 3 lines in between every notification? Currently the window frame is hidden in between each notification, showing only the separator

The idea was to be able to control which part of the frame is colored (there was an issue like that). So that you can indeed have no lines or 3 or whatever you like. Something like frames = left,right. But I would start from having a consistent coloring and border because at the moment some lines override each other and cairo is not happy
How would you make sure to have a frame at the top and the bottom of all the notifications?

I won't, the choice is up to the user.
Yeah, but how would the user configure this? If you only enable left and right border there would be no top and bottom border. Edit: I see there is a window border which would work for this
