It would be nice if there was an option to show messages on all monitors.

This sounds like a nice feature, but sadly it's very unlikely that this gets added in the near future, because of the way things are implemented right now. Adding support for multiple windows would either mean a hacky mess or an almost rewrite.

But this feature request inspired the idea of Issue #46: Display the notifications on the focused monitor which might be a compromise.

I'll keep this open in case somebody else wants to express his/her interest in this feature, but again: don't get your hopes high that this will get implemented in the near future (or at all)

I'm closing this since there seems to be low to no interest in this feature, this isn't possible with the current architecture and with follow modes there is an alternative present

I've been happy with follow=keyboard

Did this ever change? I'd like some notifications to be shown on all monitors.

As would I. I would love either solution. The monitor I'm looking at or all of them to notify me.

There is some discussion about moving dunst to a multiple-window system in #344 and it may be worth looking into this feature a bit more.

+1

I use follow = keyboard, which is great, but I would love the notification to show up on all monitors.

I agree that this would be a nice feature. So far I've gone with a full-width notification in order to be able to notice it out of the corner of my eye if I'm currently looking at another monitor than the one with focus.

+1 I use full width notifications as well, but working with multiple monitors still makes it hard to notice them sometimes.

I would love this feature as well. I miss many notifications since I have 3 screens.

follow = keyboard works fine and I dont think this feature will ever get implemented.

Well if that's so, there are plenty of notification daemons out there. Who needs dunst? Desktop Notifications - Arch Linux

I dont think this feature will ever get implemented.

It'll get implemented if someone (including me) steps up to actually implement it - it's an open source project after all :).

My time for working on new features, especially as complex as this, is limited but I'm still very active for reviewing PRs and helping contributors if they need guidance on how to work on something.

follow = keyboard works fine and I dont think this feature will ever get implemented.

Will surely get implemented when we move to multiple windows
